You may need to do that if you find you're getting a lot of errors. This will of course make things take much longer. I usually try to plan renders around coffee breaks to limit the slowdowns, but sometimes they're unavoidable.

In version 7.4 and higher when using Elastic Audio (EA), choosing the proper algorithm seems crutially important as EA is far from being flawless yet.
My question is in regards to acoustic guitars specifically. Depending on the type of part being played certain algorithms don't work well. X-Form worked great for the parts that were strummed, however the arpeggiated parts got pretty wonky (technical term) and even trying polyphonic and monophonic leave some undesirable results.
I'm assuming you mean warp markers. You can have as many analysis markers as you want and it won't affect anything. the amount of warp markers, and more importantly, how far you move them from their starting point affect render tim.Drumwaiter wrote:What algorithm would you recommend and how would you adjust the analysis markers to give the best result? Would I be right in understanding that the fewer analysis points that exist, the less problems I could have with a render?

Digi Manual wrote:X-Form
(Rendered Only)
The X-Form Elastic Audio plug-in is a modified version of Digidesign’s standalone X-Form AudioSuite processing plug-in (based on the Radius® algorithm from iZotope). The X-Form Elastic Audio plug-in is for Rendered Elastic Audio processing only and cannot process in real- time or as an AudioSuite plug-in. It provides the highest quality time compression algorithms for music production, sound design, and audio loop applications.
Quality
Select either Maximum or Low (Faster) from the Quality pop-up menu. Maximum is the slowest processing algorithm, but provides the highest quality results. Low (Faster) produces relatively good results and is much faster than the Maxi- mum setting.
Formant
For audio material with clear formants, enable Formant to preserve the formant shape of audio when applying TCE processing.
Audio with a fundamental pitch has an overtone series, or set of higher harmonics. The strength of these higher harmonics cre- ates a formant shape, which is apparent if viewed using a spectrum analyzer. The over- tone series, or harmonics, have the same spacing related to the pitch and have the same general shape regardless of what the fundamental pitch is. It is this formant shape that gives the audio its overall char- acteristic sound or timbre. When pitch shifting audio, the formant shape is shifted with the rest of the material, which can re- sult in an unnatural sound. Keeping this shape constant is critical to formant correct pitch shifting and achieving a natural sounding result
Not true. You can have warp markers with no analysis markers. Analysis markers are merely where PT thinks the warp markers should go, but don't have any effect on the audio. You generally will have better luck using less points, and if you're doing it automatically (ie using PT's suggested points) then yes having less analysis markers will make things go smoother.Drumwaiter wrote:I meant analysis markers. I understand the difference between those and warp markers, but without analysis markers there can be no warp markers. I've just had better luck in limiting the points that EA can decided to warp. I guess it's kinda six of one half a dozen of the other, eh?

How do I go back to the original take on a playlist after having rendered Elastic Audio (without too much trouble)?
I want to A/B the two... Something doesn't seen right here. [/u]

Do you mean an earlier take, or the unedited version of the take?
For an unedited version, either duplicate the playlist, or duplicate the track (alt+shift+D). Then right click on the region you want to reset and click remove warp. Switch back and forth between the two to hear the change.

Actually the new ones are very good. But there may be a handful I want to nudge a little bit. It's really hard (unless you have paid session guys) to not have to do any editing to get a good polished product though.

The foundation of our relationship. I give you parts that you don't normally have to edit, and you continue to not want to hurt me. It's a good system.
Drumwaiter wrote:Question 6:
Once I have everything edited the way I want and I want to transfer things to another DAW, what is the easiest way to select the regions I want? Do I have to go through my hard drive and fish them out the old fashioned way or is there an easier way to proceed?
Thanks!

I personally hate that setting and never use it. Control+Command+P is the key command to turn it on and off. After that your relevant settings should have Link Edit and Timeline Selection turned on, and Edit Insertion Follows Playback turned off.
