Enabling Elastic Audio Tracks

For more information, see the following topics:

Creating New Tracks with Elastic Audio Enabled

To enable Elastic Audio on a track:

1 Create a new audio track or choose an existing audio track.

2 Click the track’s Elastic Audio Plug-In selector, and select the Elastic Audio plug-in appropriate to your track material and the results you want from the pop-up menu: Polyphonic, Rhythmic, Monophonic, Varispeed, or X-Form (see Elastic Audio Plug-Ins).

 

Elastic Audio Plug-In pop-up menu

Any audio clips on the track temporarily go offline while they are analyzed and come back online when the analysis is finished. The waveform for audio clips that are offline for Elastic Audio analysis appears grayed out.

When recording to a real-time Elastic Audio-enabled track, once recording is stopped, the newly recorded audio temporarily goes offline while it is analyzed and comes back online as soon as the analysis is finished.

3 From the track’s Elastic Audio Plug-In pop-up menu, select Real-Time Processing or Rendered Processing for Real-Time or Rendered Elastic Audio processing.

Elastic Audio processing can be Real-Time or Rendered. Real-Time Elastic Audio processing is immediate, but it is more demanding of system resources. Rendered Elastic Audio processing is non-real-time, but is less demanding of system resources. If you are working on a system with limited resources, use Rendered Elastic Audio processing. For more information, see Real-Time and Rendered Elastic Audio Processing.
