How can you change a project’s key signature?
Open the global tracks, and double-click the key signature on the global Signature track. Choose a new key from the Key Signature window.
How do you match the project tempo to an audio file’s
tempo?
Select the region and choose Options > Tempo > “Adjust Tempo using Beat Detection.”
How do you make an audio region follow the project’s tempo?
In the Inspector’s Track Parameter box, select a flex mode.
How do you insert tempo changes?
In the global Tempo track, double-click above or below the
tempo line.
Which region types will always follow the project’s tempo map?
MIDI regions, Apple Loops, and audio regions with a flex mode selected.
How do you create an Apple Loops file from a region?
Drag the region over the Loop Browser.
What are Apple Loops? Describe the difference between blue

Apple Loops are AIFF or CAF audio files that automatically match the project’s tempo and key. Unlike blue Apple Loops, green Apple Loops also contain the MIDI region and software instrument channel strips used to create them, and they can be used on software instrument tracks.
How do you apply speed fades on an audio region?
Create a fade-in or a fade-out, and in the region parameters, set the fade-in parameter to speed up, or the fade parameter to slow down.
