Speeding up already recorded tracks using elastic audio

[macrae11]

Yes you should have just waited, although X-Form can take a long time to process.

Start with the obvious settings. Rhythmic for drums, monophonic for bass and vocals, polyphonic for guitars, keys etc. If you start getting artifacts on a particular track, try switching it to X-Form to see if that helps. Chapter 38 in the PT Reference Guide.

x form takes like 20 minutes per side of 1 stereo track

basically all you do is change the tracks to ticks, select the proper algorithm (rythmatic for drums, etc) then change the tempo in the top left hand corner of the timeline (not on the transport)

just mess around with what sounds good, when you have them all sounding good, turn on x form and come back in 4 hours

(ps to see the status there is a hot key but i forget it at work right now)

Good luck!!!

Unless you're happy to varispeed, strongly disagree. The implication here is that only the drums have been recorded, hence it makes no sense no to sort it now. Speeding up drums is a cinch!

Very cool guys I really appreciate it. My computer is fast as hell so I wasn't sure, especially since no processing bar came up showing progress. I.E, in beat detective, filling and crossfading a 3 minute song chopped to hell and back only took a minute to process. I'll have to try it later tonight after the session. Guitars are recorded as well but no bass, vocals, percussion, etc. I'll try the settings you guys recommended.

sank you!

Open task manager to see the processing bar.

In that case, re-track them at the right tempo.

Very noble.

In the real world, not always possible. EA is perfectly acceptable in this case.

As it happens, assuming he still has a session with the edits in (ie he hasn't consolidated) then it should work if he just sets the tracks to ticks and changes the tempo. Will require checking, but quicker than re-editing. In case you didn't notice, it's already edited to grid - so re-recording hardly worth it.
