Where would you set the Current Engine for your session?

• A. Preferences
• B. Playback Engine dialog box
• C. Session Parameters
• D. Hardware Setup

Answer: (B)

The Current Engine is set in the Playback Engine dialog box because that is where Pro Tools selects the audio driver and processing engine used for the session. This dialog shows the active engine and lets you switch to a different one, along with related performance settings like buffer size. Preferences handles general program behavior, Session Parameters control session-specific settings such as sample rate/bit depth, and Hardware Setup deals with routing and I/O for the chosen hardware, not the engine itself.
