Moving Elastic Audio Between Tracks

Pro Tools analyzes, conforms, and commits audio in different ways when moving audio clips between tracks with Elastic Audio enabled and tracks without Elastic Audio enabled. The following table shows the different results for moving clips between real-time Elastic Audio-enabled tracks, Rendered Elastic Audio-enabled tracks, and audio tracks without Elastic Audio.

 

Moving Elastic Audio between tracks

From	To	Result
Real-time Elastic Audio–enabled track	Rendered Elastic Audio–enabled track	Render clip with destination track’s Elastic Audio plug-in
Real-time Elastic Audio–enabled track	Audio track (no Elastic Audio)	Render clip with source track’s Elastic Audio plug-in and commit the clip to the destination track
Rendered Elastic Audio–enabled track	Real-time Elastic Audio–enabled track	Apply real-time Elastic Audio processing using the destination track’s Elastic Audio plug-in
Rendered Elastic Audio–enabled track	Audio track (no Elastic Audio)	Commit to track
Audio track (no Elastic Audio)	Real-time Elastic Audio–enabled track	Calculate Elastic Audio analysis and apply real-time Elastic Audio processing using the destination track’s Elastic Audio plug-in
Audio track (no Elastic Audio)	Rendered Elastic Audio–enabled track	Calculate Elastic Audio analysis and render the clip using the destination track’s Elastic Audio plug-in
Pitched Elastic Audio–enabled track	Audio track (no Elastic Audio)	Render clip pitch shift with source track’s Elastic Audio plug-in and commit the clip to the destination track

Clips that are committed, either by disabling Elastic Audio on a track or by moving a clip to a track without Elastic Audio enabled, are written to disk as new audio files (see Committed Clips.)
