Good job. Thanks for creating and posting this so so much. Extremely helpful.

[@thexspindables4063]

I learned about this technique while in school but could never fully grasp the understanding of how to use the tool, but this video was monumental in helping me to fully understand the elastic audio process, and how it works. Thank you for this bit of information!

[@CraigGood]

I've been doing this the hard way for so long. I'd never heard of warp markers before stumbling onto this. So thanks! This is awesome.

[@carolinebirmingham]

You're a great teacher! Super helpful, my friend!

just last night I needed this technique to fix a sloppy acoustic track. I am ready for the next one now. Thanks

[@DJUwU]

Notess: Warp Markers: 5:20 1 Double Click on Dark Grey Analysis Lines to add Warp Marker 2 Press Control to add where you click 3 Press Option to remove Warp Marker that you click 4. Press Shift when adding/adjusting Warp markers to add "lock down" warp markers on each side of it! 5. RENDERED processing once you're finished!

[@derrickwho]

Excellent and clear video!

[@thekeyroads]

Valuable Session.

[@ljmb86]

Awesome vid for new audio producer's

[@YoungSunnyBeats]

Had to refresh on this subject great tutorial!

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

Thank you!!

[@kellehlers]

[@joehero80]

[@biancaalexander1524]

really great video. my teacher had a hard time explaining this successfully to the entire class

[@anthonywhite6530]

Thank you

[@ricks2907]

Great thanks buddy Ricky 💃🕺🏼🎶🐈‍⬛🎸💥

[@Oleksiyka]

Thanks a lot!

[@jamesmarshall9677]

Very informative video. I am not a great shortcut user, so an explanation of where the function is in the menu system would be helpful. Your examples were great.

[@gnarlsburls8st4]

Thanks! This was soooooo helpful!!

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

[@jahpanmix]

[@mlara1270]

Grand MASTER!

[@Aleiiin]

Gracias!

[@Salantsoundstudios]

Amaing vid thanks guys! I bet logic is very similar with flex time, but are there any other caveats to watch out for?

[@danielkopf5505]

Awesome

[@vocalpro]

Hey man. That was a great tutorial. Exactly what I needed heading into a big editing day. Cheers

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

awesome glad this help !!

[@vocalpro]

@@PuremixAudioTutorials 12 hours later, everything is where it should be. Id been so confused with the logic behind elastic audio, I just never took the time to delve into understanding it. Was all over it within half an hour and could just rip into it all day confidently. Thanks again. Hope your career is going well. :)

[@ricardosalles6424]

tks a lot

[@alexandrosfiliakoudis3584]

perfect :)

[@mbareCT666]

Thanks Ben

[@jannovak8060]

Instead of quantise with 1% strength to have all the markers active,but keep material original,you can also hit quantise,than right click on track/s and select "remove warp".This way all markers will be active but any quantiseing will be removed.

[@teddym2808]

&#*$ I love pro tools. I really do. I just love using it day in day out, it's a pleasure. Once they add integrated melodyne i'll literally never need another feature in it again.

[@spencerclarke2137]

Hey which version of ProTools is this? I'm looking at getting 12 and I'm hoping it has the same elastic audio functions as this video. Thanks!

[@ACARY13106]

is it suggested to strip the silence on toms? i would think you would want background noise from the mics

[@tlombardi2]

Great Video and information.... I'm having an issue with the Elastic audio in Pro Tools. When I open my project some of the tracks are greyed out and this message comes up saying "Unable to perform elastic audio because audio fil on playlist is unsupported for Elastic Audio as it is read only"? I have tried to go into the folder where audio files are for the project in the my C derive and turn off read only and it still does not work? These greyed out audio tracks will not play in the project? i end up deleting and recording the tracks (which is a waste of time) just so that it dos it over again. Have you or has anyone run into this, and was able to fix it? Avid is impossible to get an answer from regarding this.. I cant get tech support.. thanks

[@hnoormoh]

Hi Ben, great tutorial video on Elastic audio. I have a quick question, how do you change the temple in the middle of the song?

[@DarthSammoth]

Do you mean - 'What if the song has different tempos throughout the song?' because I have the same question.

[@hnoormoh]

Yes I have a song at 95 BPM and at the end it goes up to 105 BPM and I don;t know how to change the last 4 measures at 105 BPM.

[@Resoundsound]

1) First make sure your tempo ruler is visible at the top of the arrange. If not, right click on any of the ruler headers in the top left corner (below Shuffle/Spot/Slip/Grid box) and make it visible. 2) Then click the little plus button on the tempo ruler header to add tempo changes into the arrangement.

[@10max30]

Hi, how would you quantize an acoustic guitar that has been recorded with 4 mics at once? There is a lot of artifacs with elastic audio doing this. Help! :/

[@snook6vision]

Can you tell me how to fix a tech issue with my PT 8 LE ? The problem is my MBP early 2008 won't open up a session on my External HD but it will open Sessions on the internal HD. ..It keeps saying can't find volume error (-35) It's wierd because I have another MBP exactly the same however I don't have problem or with my regular MB from the same year..

[@MadMusicologist]

Sorry, what's wrong if I find "warp", and "analyse" are greyed out, and "Crtl + Alt +

[@dan14048]

what exact button are you pressing to get the widow for the elastic audio.your going so fast I do not see it

[@recordstreetband6187]

I followed your instructions on tempo change but nothing happens other than my recording stretches or shrinks.

[@awedee.0]

double clicking and control clicking does not work for me. does anyone have a clue as to what is causing this? I've tried all combinations of the a/z buttons...

[@MetalArcade]

what about x-form?

[@furryz666]

When rendered and EA is disabled is there a way for the new audio track to move with tempo changes or must I enable EA again?

[@sbrave]

You have to have EA enabled on the track in order for for it to follow temp changes.

[@orrinjay6570]

What is original tracks had NO click tracks (so analog waveform varied tempo). Can you you still used Elastic Audio to tighten up tracks with each other?

[@sbrave]

+James Sundquist Yes, you could use the "Identify Beat" feature and get close enough to a solid tempo, then use EA from there.

[@L.A.J]

Hello. Sir. on my pro tools 11 doesn't allow warp how can i do it? is that any way to do? thank you

[@sbrave]

+Eh Lay John PT11 has warp. You have to enable Elastic Audio on the track first, and then choose Warp from the view in the track instead of waveform which is the default.

[@goldensleeves]

is "warp" only available in pro tools HD? I have pro tools 11 (not HD) and it is "greyed-out" and doesn't seem to be available to me.

[@tomaseguchi5793]

goldensleeves take a look at the manual on how to activate elastic audio on your tracks by picking one of four algorithms that protools comes with. once you have activated it on the track warp will be ungreyed out.

[@OlostA]

Hello, anyone knows a plug in that can put the phasis in any degree ? (not only the 180° like all the EQ do...)

[@joefunderburk6848]

Little Labs IBP Phase Alignment Tool plug-in for UAD-2 is what you're after. I don't know of another, non-UA one. Lilltle Labs makes the hardware one, obviously...

[@OlostA]

@@joefunderburk6848 Thank you very much. But I think I need UAD sound card to use it...

[@cary3428]

Line your tracks up manually or use the stock time dly with PT

[@LeilaLandOfficial]

This video is the BEES KNEES

[@PostCrusifixion]

what key is option?

[@eprice2294]

+PostCrusifixion it is a key on a mac that replaces the "alt" key on a pc. If you are using a pc you would push alt instead.

[@erictonyes]

What is the [or] key? e.g. Alt + Ctrl + [or] ?!?!

[@remielbox]

"[" or "]"

[@johnryansullivan2439]

I understand why Elastic Audio can be helpful in certain scenarios. It is a cool feature of pro tools. But why use it in place of manual editing? It seems only marginally quicker, far less bullshit and Not to mention that there is a certain coloration a lot of the time when you render an elastic audio track. not being a troll here. just asking That said, youre a very good teacher and this video is helpful

[@BeastmodeBeats]

This is so much easier in Reaper. 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheBroRedSunLed]

But don’t forget : shit in shit out

Am I tripping or is this the UA guy?
