i've tried on a in time bass track and it put it a little out of time

so, is that normal? there are preferences, settings, i should adjust?

another thing is about quality.. honestly i hear a lot the difference on drum room mics, acoustic guitar, piano, stuff like that.. i use the right algorithm (rhythmic for drums, monophonic for vocals, bass, polyphonic for guitar and piano), is there a way to improve the quality what am i mistaken?

i'm reading a lot of stuff about elastic audio and protools manual too, i just need to learn it very fast 'cause i need to complete a work in time, so any help is really appreciated!!

thanks
I personally use Polyphonic for everything.... I -ALWAYS- Render with X-Form though... it makes things sound much much better. I use the 4 modes (again pretty much always Polyphonic) just as a real time demo.

You can move the warp markers by hand later on.

Abelton's time stretching algorithm is not that great (and this is coming from a big Abelton fan). Elastic Audio is actually much better (especially when using X-From rendering).

This mostly comes from a lack of understanding what you are actually doing and what the controls exactly mean.
