Stretch Your Sound with Elastic Time
| |
|
Pro Tools LE® 7.4 software features Elastic Time, a powerful real-time tempo manipulation feature that makes it easy to change tempo or time on the fly. For musicians, composers, and music producers, Elastic Time makes loop-based music creation faster and more imaginative than ever, giving you the freedom to explore different tempos and experiment with loops and audio files that sync with your current session throughout the entire writing process. For post-production editors and engineers, Elastic Time makes it super easy to stretch or squeeze audio tracks to fit video time frames, using high-quality algorithms that make your time manipulation virtually undetectable.

With Pro Tools LE 7.4 software, you can change the tempo and timing of loops, music, dialog, and other sound files without cutting up audio. Easily create loops from any audio file — even entire compositions — with the help of powerful tempo and transient analysis. Want to hear how a certain audio bit will sound in your song? The new Context Preview lets you easily audition loops and audio files in sync with the tempo of your session. Even imported audio files and loops automatically conform to match your session’s tempo.
Not only is it easy to manipulate tempo and time, it’s easy to perfect the timing of performances too. You can easily improve errant beats by quantizing audio to your session’s Bar|Beat grid, or to grooves extracted from other audio or MIDI performances using Beat Detective™, which offers better peak detection accuracy than ever before. You can also fine-tune “Elasticized” regions with precision control over each individual beat using the new warp track view and warp markers — you can even make the same precise changes across multiple grouped tracks while preserving timing offsets in multitrack recordings, such as with drums.

To ensure that you get the best results possible, Elastic Time features some of the best-sounding processing in the industry, letting you choose from several high-quality, time-stretching algorithms on a per-track basis. You can even further adjust the decay and processing window length to tailor the audio processing for each track at hand rather than settle for a one-size-fits-all algorithm.
- Change the tempo or timing of audio tracks on the fly by simply expanding or contracting regions
- Easily create loops from any audio file analyzed for tempo and transient information — even files from older library CDs that have multiple loops per cut
- Audition loops and audio files in sync with your session’s current tempo with Context Preview
- Fine-tune regions with precision control over each individual beat using the warp track view and warp markers
- Quantize individual tracks or multitrack audio to the session grid or to extracted grooves while preserving the original timing offsets of each track
-
Choose the best-sounding time-stretching algorithm from several choices on a per-track basis
- Adjust the Window and Decay parameter on each track to achieve the best results
- Make quick rhythmic fixes or creatively explore grooves and styles using Grid and Groove Quantize, which now works on MIDI and audio events in tandem
- Ease your CPU processing load by rendering tracks using Render mode
- Use the Render and Commit option to work on Pro Tools 7.4 sessions with earlier versions of Pro Tools (replaces all Elastic Time-enabled regions with rendered audio files)
More Flexibility with More Systems and Options
Pro Tools LE 7.4 software supports more systems and options than ever, making it a truly flexible solution to match your audio needs.
If you’re thinking of upgrading to Windows Vista Ultimate or Business, Pro Tools LE 7.4 software provides new support for both Microsoft platforms (32-bit only) in addition to its current Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.4.9 support.
Pro Tools LE 7.4 software also brings Pro Tools LE users on Mac and Windows XP into the industry-standard Avid® video workflow. With support for Avid Mojo® SDI with most members of the 003™ and Mbox® 2 families, Pro Tools LE users can now benefit from the great picture quality, easy navigation, and efficiency of Avid video in the Pro Tools timeline. With the DV Toolkit™ 2 option installed, you can even have multiple Avid video or QuickTime clips in the same session, and take advantage of all the editing features introduced in Pro Tools HD® 7.2 software while benefiting from frame edge-locked video output.
- Support for Windows Vista Ultimate and Business (32-bit)
- Support for Avid Mojo SDI with most members of the 003 and Mbox 2 families
More Great Features
Pro Tools LE 7.4 software offers many other great new features, improvements, and enhancements.
Pro Tools 7.4 software now comes with Structure™ Free, Digidesign’s powerful sample player, which allows you to easily add a wide range of sounds to your sessions (it comes with over 885 MB of high-quality samples).
If you use ReWire applications (such as Reason), Pro Tools 7.4 software accepts MIDI controller data directly from ReWire applications for recording to a Pro Tools MIDI or Instrument track.
Pro Tools 7.4 software also supports Unicode characters throughout the application. That means you can label and edit text anywhere in Pro Tools in any language supported by Unicode, such as Japanese, French, Greek, Russian, and Hebrew.
