M-AUDIO Pro Tools Recording Studio - Manual (Page 113)

Chapter 7: Preferences 95
TC/E (Time Compression/Expansion)
Section
TC/E Plug-in Lets you select the plug-in used for
Time Compression and Expansion when you
edit audio with the Time Compression/Expan-
sion Trim tool. This Trim tool works by using
Time Compression/Expansion to match an au-
dio region to the length of another region, a
tempo grid, a video scene, or other reference
point. The DigiRack Time Shift plug-in is se-
lected by default.
Default Settings Specifies the default settings
used by the chosen Time Compression/Expan-
sion plug-in.
Elastic Audio Section
These preferences determine Elastic Audio usage
and settings on new tracks, as well as for pre-
viewing and importing tick-based audio.
Default Plug-in Lets you select any Real-Time
Elastic Audio plug-in as the default for preview-
ing and importing Elastic Audio. The selected
default Elastic Audio plug-in is also used when
new tracks are created with the Enable Elastic Au-
dio on New Tracks
option enabled.
Default Input Gain Lets you attenuate the signal
input to Elastic Audio plug-ins by 0 to –6 dB for
preview and import. If you experience clipping
due to Elastic Audio processing during preview
or after import, you may want to set the Default
Input Gain
to slightly attenuate the audio signal
input for Elastic Audio processing. This prefer-
ence also applies to any audio imported to an
Elastic Audio-enabled track.
The Elastic Properties window inherits the De-
fault Input Gain
setting. To apply further region-
based input gain attenuation for Elastic Audio
processing, select the region and adjust the Input
Gain
setting in the Elastic Properties window (see
“Elastic Properties Window” on page 787).
Enable Elastic Audio on New Tracks When se-
lected, new tracks are created with Elastic Audio
enabled. The selected default Elastic Audio plug-
in is used.
MIDI Preferences
Basics Section
Remove Range Selection After Opening the
MIDI/Score Editor
When selected, the MIDI Edi-
tor and Score Editor open with no Edit selection.

and Score Editor open with the current Edit se-
lection intact.
If the Enable Elastic Audio on New Tracks
option is selected, you may want to also se-
lect the New Tracks Default to Tick Time-
base option in the Editing Preferences page.
