With Elastic Audio, you can click on an Event marker with the Grabber tool and time-stretch the audio relative to its start point. This type of warping is called:
a Telescoping warp
an Accordion warp
a Range warp
a Grid warp
EXPLANATION
Applying a warp to an entire clip relative to either its start point or end point is referred to as a telescoping warp.

Which real-time Elastic Audio processor generally works best for percussive material?
Rhythmic
Polyphonic
Monophonic
Varispeed
EASY
Which real-time Elastic Audio processor generally works best for percussive material?
Rhythmic
Polyphonic
Monophonic
Varispeed
EXPLANATION
The Rhythmic processor is designed specifically for percussive material, such as drums.
EASY
True or False. The transient detection that Pro Tools uses is very conservative, to avoid creating excess Event markers at false transients.
True
False
EASY
True or False. The transient detection that Pro Tools uses is very conservative, to avoid creating excess Event markers at false transients.
True
False
EXPLANATION
False. The transient detection in Pro Tools is very aggressive, to ensure that all meaningful transients are identified. This can result in Event markers being added at “false transient” locations.
EASY
TRUE or FALSE: The icon shown in the upper right corner of the clip is the Offline Media Indicator.
True
False
EASY
TRUE or FALSE: The icon shown in the upper right corner of the clip is the Offline Media Indicator.
True
False
EXPLANATION
False. The displayed icon is the Warp Indicator, showing that the clip has been conformed to the session tempo or otherwise warped using Elastic Audio.
EASY
TRUE or FALSE: Elastic Audio can be auto-enabled for new tracks from the Preferences dialog box.
True
False
EASY
TRUE or FALSE: Elastic Audio can be auto-enabled for new tracks from the Preferences dialog box.
True
False
EXPLANATION
To allow audio tracks to automatically be enabled for Elastic Audio processing when they are created, choose Setup > Preferences and check the Enable Elastic Audio on New Tracks option under the Processing tab.
EASY
What is the effect of holding the Option modifier (Mac) or Alt modifier (Windows) while changing a track from sample-based timing to tick-based timing?
All tracks in the session change to tick-based timing
No tracks in the session change to tick-based timing
The track will have solo-safe mode enabled
Pro Tools will analyze the audio on the track and add Event markers at the transients
EASY
What is the effect of holding the Option modifier (Mac) or Alt modifier (Windows) while changing a track from sample-based timing to tick-based timing?
All tracks in the session change to tick-based timing
No tracks in the session change to tick-based timing
The track will have solo-safe mode enabled
Pro Tools will analyze the audio on the track and add Event markers at the transients
EXPLANATION
The Option or Alt modifier provides Do-To-All functionality. Holding it while changing one track to tick-based timing will change all tracks to tick-based timing.
EASY
True or False. Elastic Audio plug-ins can be assigned in either the Edit window or the Mix window.
True
False
EASY
True or False. Elastic Audio plug-ins can be assigned in either the Edit window or the Mix window.
True
False
EXPLANATION
Elastic Audio plug-ins are assigned in the Edit window only. They cannot be assigned using inserts in the Mix window, like other real-time plug-ins.
MEDIUM
Which of the following best describes what happens when you apply the Quantize function to a selection on an Elastic Audio-enabled track?
Any Event markers that are close to the quantize grid get converted into Warp markers, and the associated transients get aligned to the grid
The start of each audio clip gets aligned to the grid with no change to the audio waveform
The track automatically changes from Sample-based timing to Tick-based timing
Any selected clips will conform to the session tempo

EXPLANATION
Quantizing a selection on an Elastic Audio-enabled track will change any Event markers that are close to the Grid into Warp markers and move them onto the grid, realigning the transients in the underlying waveform.
MEDIUM
What is a draw-back of using the X-Form Elastic Audio processor?
It is rendered-only and can take a long time to process
It links the pitch and speed of playback, so as the speed increases, the pitch goes up, and as the speed decreases, the pitch drops
It places a high demand on the CPU due to real-time processing
The results are generally low quality

EXPLANATION
X-Form using rendered processing only and can take quite a long time to render. Each clip will be re-rendered every time you make a change that affects the timing of any Elastic Audio clip on the track.
MEDIUM
When do you need to combine tick-based timing with Elastic Audio on a track?
When you want the audio to speed up or slow down according to tempo changes you make in the session
When you want to apply a Telescoping Warp or Accordion Warp to the audio on the track
When you want to conform imported audio to the session tempo
When you want to quantize the audio using the Event > Event Operations > Quantize function
When you want to use Elastic Audio for pitch shifting parts of a performance

When you want to use Elastic Audio for pitch shifting parts of a performance
EXPLANATION
Using tick-based timing on an Elastic Audio-enabled track allows the track to speed up or slow down relative to tempo changes that you make on the Tempo ruler (in Tempo Map mode) or in the Transport window (in Manual Tempo mode).
MEDIUM
Which of the following is required to use the Elastic Properties window for adjusting Elastic Audio parameters?
- One or more entire clips must be selected
- One or more tracks must be selected
- One or more MIDI notes must be selected
- One or more Warp markers must be selected
MEDIUM
Which of the following is required to use the Elastic Properties window for adjusting Elastic Audio parameters?
One or more entire clips must be selected
One or more tracks must be selected
One or more MIDI notes must be selected
One or more Warp markers must be selected
EXPLANATION
The Elastic Properties window applies to entire clips. Its parameters are only available when one or more entire clips are selected on an Elastic Audio-enabled track.
MEDIUM
When might you want to use the Transpose window (Event > Event Operations > Transpose) to apply pitch shifting to Elastic Audio-enabled tracks?
When you want to simultaneously apply the transposition to MIDI and/or Instrument tracks in the session
When all of the tracks are tick-based
When all of the tracks are sample-based
When you need to transpose by semi-tones and cents
MEDIUM
When might you want to use the Transpose window (Event > Event Operations > Transpose) to apply pitch shifting to Elastic Audio-enabled tracks?
When you want to simultaneously apply the transposition to MIDI and/or Instrument tracks in the session
When all of the tracks are tick-based
When all of the tracks are sample-based
When you need to transpose by semi-tones and cents
EXPLANATION
The Event Operations > Transpose window is useful when you need to create a transposition across tracks that include MIDI performances. This window will apply pitch changes to selected Elastic Audio clips as well as selected MIDI data (on MIDI or Instrument tracks).
