What is the default key signature used by Pro Tools when you create a new session?
- B-flat major
- C major
- C minor
- D minor

The default key signature in Pro Tools is C major, representing the major key that contains no sharps or flats in the scale.
Which of the following best describes the Time Scale values that display in the Edit window in the format 1|1|000?
- Main Counter|Sub Counter|Node
- Hour|Minute|Second
- Bar Number|Beat Number|Tick Number
- Track Number|Take Number|Edit Number
Bar Number|Beat Number|Tick Number
When using the Bars|Beats Time Scale, Edit locations are displayed in the Main Counter using the format Bar Number|Beat Number|Tick Number.
TRUE or FALSE.
You can set the Main Time Scale in Pro Tools by clicking on the head of a displayed ruler or by selecting the desired time scale from the Main Counter Selector.
True
False
True
True. When you click on the name of a timebase ruler, that ruler becomes highlighted and acts as the Main Time Scale. Alternatively, you can click on the Main Counter Selector in the Edit window to select a time scale from a pop-up menu.
What main menu can you use in Pro Tools to display the Bars|Beats ruler in the Edit window?
- File menu
- Edit menu
- View menu
- Options menu
- Window menu
View menu
You use the View menu to display a part of a window, such as a Ruler in the Edit window. (Choose View > Rulers > Bars:Beats.)

- One
- Four
- Eight
- Sixteen
- 64

How many track types does Pro Tools provide that support recording, playing back, and working with MIDI data?
- One
- Two
- Four
- All track types support MIDI.
Two
Pro Tools supports two track types for working with MIDI: MIDI tracks and Instrument tracks.
Which of the following is likely to be the easiest to use for basic MIDI recording and playback with a virtual instrument?
- A MIDI track routed to an Aux Input track hosting the virtual instrument.
- A MIDI or Instrument track routed to an Audio track hosting the virtual instrument.
- An Instrument track with the virtual instrument instantiated on an insert.
- None of the above are supported in Pro Tools.
An Instrument track with the virtual instrument instantiated on an insert.
For basic MIDI recording with a virtual instrument, an Instrument track is likely to be the easiest to use and set up, since you can put the virtual instrument directly on the track using an insert.
TRUE or FALSE.
Clicking the Plus sign at the head of the Tempo Ruler (as shown) will reset the session tempo to the default value of 180 BPM.
True
False
False
False. The plus sign on the Tempo ruler is the Add Tempo Change button. This button opens the Tempo Change dialog box where you can specify the tempo you’d like to use.
(Also note that the default session tempo in Pro Tools is 120 BPM, not 180 BPM.)
What feature allows audio clips to speed up or slow down to conform to the session tempo in Pro Tools?
- A. Markers
- B. Tick-based timing
- C. Elastic Audio
- D. Using both A and B together
- E. Using both B and C together
What feature allows audio clips to speed up or slow down to conform to the session tempo in Pro Tools?
- A. Markers
- B. Tick-based timing
- C. Elastic Audio
- D. Using both A and B together
- E. Using both B and C together
Using Elastic Audio on a tick-based Audio track will allow the audio clips to speed up or slow down according to the session tempo.
TRUE or FALSE.
A MIDI message consists of up to four bytes of information: a data byte and two to three status bytes.
True
False
False
False. The maximum length for a MIDI message is three bytes, consisting of one status byte and up to two data bytes.
What is the default setting for the MIDI Input selector on a MIDI-compatible track in Pro Tools?
- No Input
- Input 1
- Input 1-2
- All
All
MIDI and Instrument tracks have their MIDI Input Path selector set to All by default, they receive all incoming MIDI data, regardless of its source.
What is denoted by the following description:
“Recorded information is tied to specific bar|beat locations. The locations adjust in time based on the session tempo.”
- Audio tracks
- Video tracks
- Sample-based timing
- Tick-based timing
Tick-based timing
In tick-based timing, recorded events are located at specific bar|beat locations and their timing adjusts with the session tempo.
What is the effect of clicking on the Tempo Ruler Enable button, as shown?
- Toggles the click on/off for the session
- Toggles between Tempo Map mode and Manual Tempo mode
- Toggles the Count Off function on/off for the session
- Shows/hides the Tempo Ruler in the Edit window
Toggles between Tempo Map mode and Manual Tempo mode
Clicking the Tempo Ruler Enable button toggles between Tempo Map mode and Manual Tempo mode.
In Tempo Map mode, Pro Tools follows the tempo events on the Tempo Ruler. In Manual Tempo mode, Pro Tools uses the tempo specified in the Transport window, ignoring any tempo events on the Tempo Ruler.
