Using Elastic Audio in ProTools 7.4
BackIn this tutorial, Jeff Dykhouse demonstrates how to use the power of ProTools 7.4's - Elastic Audio. Elastic Audio allows you to easily change the tempo and timing of your sound files without cutting up your tracks. Here Jeff uses Elastic Audio to fix an "out-of-time" guitar track. This kind of fix would have taken longer using the old Beat Detective or manual cut and nudge methods. Elastic Time makes it really easy. This tutorial is taken from the upcoming ProTools 7.4 tutorial. For this and many other tutorials visit us at www.HowAudio.com.

Hi,
I am working in films and sometime need to replace a dialog that has been recorded on set with another one that has been recorded in the studio ( they are saying the same thing just the one on set might have some noise or the delivery is not great) so there will be some slight variation in the timing. Will Elastic Audio be a good instrument to replace the dialogs?

Yes, you could manually move analysis markers to align the dialog. However, there is a plugin called Vocalign that does it automatically, and does an AMAZING job. CHeck it out!

I don't have PT in front of me right now, but perhaps your track isn't set to "Ticks"?

I had the same problem. That's a good idea.

So can you use this same tutorial if you have accappella vocals and you want to add a new instrumental under the vocals to create a remix?

or... the guitarist should practice a bit more and pay his dues before coming to the recording session.

Yeah, he should have played it perfectly because that would make for a more interesting tutorial on how the feature works . . . .
