Elastic Audio consolidation problem
 

Actualy I'm editing drums for a work and I have a big problem with elastic audio.
I edit the kick separately with EA and the rest of the tracks with BD.
Yesterday at the end of the song I found that some parts of the kick tracks were no more on grid. So I tougth I forgot some parts, but this morning I found the first triplet of the song out of grid.
So I re-edited this triplet with EA and I consolidate it.........and the consolidation change the hits position!!!!
I post 2 screenshots:

Re: Elastic Audio consolidation problem
 

Same thing if I disable EA and I commit the tracks. Some result.
The only solution can be printing the edited track to a new track but it's very time consuming with the real time printing. I like to consolidate the edit after 2 or 3 sections instead of print everything at the end of the work, because if something happens I save what I did before.

I'd like to help, but those images are way too small to tell what's going on. Can you post bigger images?

Ops sorry...my mistake.

I guess I'm missing what you're seeing. Are you possibly confusing the warp markers and event markers? The 'pre' version shows the warp markers with little triangles at the bottom, while the post view shows the event markers (grey lines with no triangle underneath them).

Re: Elastic Audio consolidation problem
 

Yes but look at the triplets with the warps.
The first one is on grid and the 3 hits are equidistant each other.
In the second one, after the consolidation of this triplet, kick is no more on grid....or better, it's on grid but not how I did it. The second hit is 1 grid position earlier than before (the right edited one).

Uhhh, this just happened to me about a week ago, but never before hand. I was going from one rhythmic to xform then consolidating and I noticed it through off all my edits...they were not even on the grid at all...I hope this gets fixed soon, Im assuming its one of the updates cause I did a demo about 6 months ago with this same process and everything worked fine.

Re: Elastic Audio consolidation problem
 

A friend of mine says that similar things happened to him from the first time he used EA, years ago. Not always but here and there you get these artifacts or error.

PT Software Engineer here.

If you can send me your session (greatly stripped down), I'm sure I can fix the problem. While the pictures exhibited the problem I can't discern the source without looking at the audio analysis, etc.

Please let me know if you can post the session somewhere.


Thanks.

Hi
tell me what you want. I can cut only that part but if you want all the waves as a session the archive should be immense
