3. Which editor displays waveforms of referenced audio files within Clips positioned on
Music Tracks?
A. Music Playlist Editor
B. Music Segment Editor ✅
C. Keymap Editor
D. Actor-Mixer Editor
Rationale: The Music Segment Editor is the DAW-like view that shows clips and
waveforms on tracks.
4. Which best describes the process to import audio for interactive music in Wwise?
A. Import to Actor-Mixer → reference in Playlist
B. Import directly into the Interactive Music Hierarchy as Music Segments that contain
Music Tracks ✅
C. Convert audio to MIDI then import
D. Drag audio into Sound SFX only
Rationale: Interactive music audio files are imported directly into the Interactive Music

C. Loop and Sustain
D. Spatialization and Attenuation
Rationale: Music Segments carry musical metadata (tempo, time signature) used for

B. False ✅
Rationale: Wwise does not reliably auto-detect those musical properties for imported

9. Why would two segments display Play Cursors simultaneously in the Music Playlist
Editor?
A. Playback bug
B. They’re in the same folder
C. The content has overlapping exit and entry cues ✅
D. They share the same tempo map
Rationale: Overlapping entry/exit cues cause simultaneous play cursors for crossfades
