How to "consolidate" Time elastic ?

[Northern88]

First of all, sorry if my english is not very good.

I recently upgraded to PT 10 from PT 7 because I wanted to use the Time Elastic feature. I've been testing that tool for the past week and I can't find a way to consolidate the edited tracks without loosing all the work I've done with time elastic. I tried to send the track to a bus and record it on an other track or consolidate the track or disable time elastic (and click commit) and still no good results...

I made a couple of screen shots to show you what happens.
In these screenshots, the first track (Guit R TE) is the track edited with Time elastic. The second track (Audio 1) is the result of the action I do to "consolidate" the track. As you will see, the second track always differ from the first one.

Disable Time elastic and click commit to "print the track"

Consilidate the track (Shift+Alt+3)

So.. Am I missing something ? Is there a way I could achieve to consolidate a track that was edited with time elastic without loosing the "editing" ?

Thanks a lot !

Sorry you didn't get any responses to this query. If you do a general search for "elastic audio" you'll find some good replies that should help you.

Could some of your confusion be related to terminology? Disabling Elastic Audio and selecting COMMIT on the next window should make the edits permanent. Busing a track with Elastic edits, to a new AUDIO track and recording the result will also create a new audio file WITH the Elastic edits.

Consolidate? "Consolidate' is a Pro Tools term that means to join several audio Regions(AKA "Clips" in PT10&11) into a single continuous and new audio clip(which has no relation to using Elastic Audio).

Shooting from the hip here, but could this maybe be an issue related to the language used in your OS and/or in Pro Tools?

I use Elastic Audio quite a bit and have never had it NOT work when it comes to clicking on the "Commit" button. Sometimes(maybe too many times) EA edits will result in some digital artifacts that ruin the audio, which is why I always(ALWAYS...if I remember to do it first) duplicate the playlist and cut or consolidate the duplicate(to create a new and separate audio clip/file). OR, if I only need to fix an area, I will often add a blank audio track below the track needing work, copy/paste the clip to the blank track, and do my edits(and commit) there. Once the audio is fixed AND sounds correct, I copy/paste it back to the track where it belongs. Hope something here helps
