I am searching to register some pieces of modern music with a continuous changement of meter for each bar (4/4, 3/4, 2/4 etc.); do you think it's possible to increase the accuracy of the metric variations in post recording session trought the "change meter" menù ? In other words exist an "elastic metro"? I am afraid that doesn't, dealing itself of a sampled signal that is therefore as is, unlikely from a midi signal. Anyway thanks, niky

You can change the meter manually all you want, but there's no function in Pro Tools that will automatically change the meter - it's just not something most users need, if that's what you're asking.

Please could you explain in detail the stages I should carry out, starting from an audio track, to manually change the meter, to get also the playback effect. gratefully niky

while waiting an answer I racked mine brains for a solution and I found that one: with "change meters menù" place the right meters on meter ruler Changing the Linearity
Display Mode to tick, next enable elastic audio on the track and by hand, editing in warp view, shift the transients onthe audio track still coinciding with the proper meters. Do you think this may work ? Please answer (also insults). thanks niky

Select the beginning of the measure you wish to change, then go into Event - > time operation -> meter change set it to what you want, then rince and repeat for all the measure that will have a change in the meter. You can do the same with tempo, but instead of meter change, choose tempo change. And of course you can do both on the same measure, but you need to start with one or the other, there's not tool to do both at the same time (from memory).

Exellent ! In this way I really begin to taste nearly the sense of an "alive" performance. Obviusly changing the meters I caused a miscoincidence between transiens and their placement in the bar that I have restored replacing the warps syncronous with them. Is't correct ? Anyway thank you very much. niky
