Excellent videos David, thanks for sharing some great tips like the warp markers! I often forget about using Elastic Audio and reach for Pitch N Time but you showed some great uses.

Thanks, Gabe

These tutorials are extremely useful. I have been playing around with creature sounds recently and have found that the elastic audio methods seems to make the task a little easier. especially when trying to create inflection.
Thanks for sharing.

I’ve done another video showing varispeed here:

I’m not the best one to demonstrate this as I don’t use varispeed or tick-based much. There are some tips there though for folks that are new to elastic.

David, I should’ve specified that I used this strictly for designing sounds in a “work track” set to tick, rendering the clip, and then pulling down the clip into a session track once I’m happy with the sound. Doing it this way has never shifted any other session tracks because they’re set to sample.

You’re correct about performance moves. Tempo map is global across every track, and that’s of little use to me personally.

Not to mention if the track is tick based, to track to the tempo map, you’ll change the timing of everything downstream, like shuffle mode. So you can’t use it to cut to picture.

David,

You CAN do performance moves in Elastic Time involving pitch and time compression by using the Tempo Graph. On your Elastic Time track make sure you’re in Varispeed Mode, set to “ticks” and samples. Set track view to Warp. Open the Tempo Graph and using the pencil tool, start drawing hills and valleys!

Rock On!

Terrific stuff, David – thanks so much for sharing it.

Thank you so much, David. I had no idea about the nudge/glide automation tip! Thank you! @Colton Polyphonic doesn’t alter the pitch when you adjust timing – varispeed will pitch it down if you make it longer – I think. Polyphonic is for multi-channel broadband frequency audio (like the woosh), and Monophonic is for a single channel piece of audio – like a voice. Someone correct me if I’m wrong! Thanks again, David! Avidly waiting for more!

wow!

always wanted to try out elastic audio but forgot about it somehow.
I believe E.A is also great when editing car sound fx.
both tutorials very inspiring.

thank´s a lot!
