Elastic Audio!

[Aussie169]

This is something I've wanted in PT since I first played with Cubase.
Anyone know if it's gonna happen for LE?



Taken from the Digizine Summer 2007

Last but not least, I want to give you a sneak peek at something for the future: We’re work-
ing on some major “elastic audio” features for Pro Tools that will revolutionize the ways you
can work with tempo-changing or loop-based audio material directly inside Pro Tools. This
new environment will use super-high-grade time compression/expansion to make sure your
audio quality stays intact; audio snippets will be automatically analyzed without any extra
work on your part, and you can audition elements you might want to try against the ma-
terials in your session while the transport plays, with everything “in the groove,” so work is
totally fluid. These capabilities are not an entirely new concept, but adding them alongside
all the other goodies in Pro Tools is really exciting, and offers even more flexibility for your
creative options. I’m pumped about using this stuff, and I hope you will be too...
That’s all the time I have for now... until next time!

I think there was mention way back that this would also be in LE. I guess it's better late than never though, considering this type of work flow has been in other apps for years now. Oh well, I'm sure Digi will make it rock.

I wonder when we'll get offline midi to audio rendering for RTAS softsynths. Big midi productions can literally take a whole day of bouncing to audio.
