What is the effect of Elastic Audio on a track in terms of time-stretching and timing?

• A. It enables time-stretching and tempo-based timing for that track.
• B. It applies normal playback with no time-stretch.
• C. It automatically duplicates the track.
• D. It converts the track to MIDI.

Answer: (A)

Elastic Audio lets you change how a track plays in time. When you enable it, you can stretch or compress the audio so it fits the project tempo and timing grid, effectively making the track follow tempo-based timing rather than its original speed. This lets you align the performance to a tempo track, tempo changes, or a different groove without changing the pitch (depending on the chosen algorithm). It isn’t normal playback, it isn’t duplicating the track, and it isn’t converting to MIDI, so its primary purpose is time-stretching and timing alignment.
