3 From the track’s Elastic Audio Plug-in pop-up
menu, select Real-Time Processing or Rendered
Processing
for Real-Time or Rendered Elastic Au-
dio processing.
To disable Elastic Audio on a track:
1 From the track’s Elastic Audio Plug-in selector,
select None – Disable Elastic Audio.
2 If the track had any Elastic Audio-based pro-
cessing, you are prompted to Cancel, Revert, or
Commit
.
Cancel Leaves Elastic Audio enabled on the
track.
Revert Removes any Elastic Audio processing,
reverts regions on the track to their original du-
ration, and disables Elastic Audio on the track.
Commit Renders and commits any Elastic Audio
processing on the track, writes new files to disk,
and disables Elastic Audio on the track.
Committed Regions
Regions that are committed, either by disabling
Elastic Audio on a track or by moving a region to
a track without Elastic Audio enabled, are writ-
ten to disk as new audio files. These new audio
files include the audio in the region, plus any
fades, and also an additional 5 seconds of audio
before and after the region, if available.
Alternate Playlists
Disabling Elastic Audio on a track affects all
playlists on the track. All playlists on the track
are committed or reverted depending on which
option you choose.
Creating New Tracks with Elastic Audio
Enabled
New tracks are created with Elastic Audio auto-
matically enabled in the following cases:
• When the Enable Elastic Audio On New
Tracks option is enabled in the Processing
Preferences page (see “Elastic Audio Op-
tions” on page 279).
• When dragging and dropping tick-based,
Elastic Audio analyzed files from DigiBase
browsers to the Track List or empty space in
the Edit window with the Audio Files Con-
form to Session Tempo
option enabled (see
“Elastic Audio on Import” on page 282).
• When dragging and dropping REX or ACID
files from the Desktop (if either REX and
ACID Files Only
or the All Files option is en-
abled for the Drag and Drop from Desktop
Conforms to Session Tempo
setting in the
Processing Preferences page) or a DigiBase
browser (if the Audio Files Conform to Ses-
sion Tempo button is enabled) to the Track
List or empty space in the Edit window (see
“Importing ACID and REX Files” on
page 285).
Elastic Audio processing can be Real-Time
or Rendered. Real-Time Elastic Audio pro-
cessing is immediate, but it is more de-
manding of system resources. Rendered
Elastic Audio processing is non-real-time,
but is less demanding of system resources. If
you are working on a system with limited re-
sources, use Rendered Elastic Audio process-
ing. For more information, see “Real-Time
and Rendered Elastic Audio Processing” on
page 773.
