Re: Beat Detective vs. Elastic Audio vs. What?
Beat detective is designed to work with percussion and won't do so well on other instruments. I personally have not had much luck with it, but know some folks love it for drums. I use EA a lot and it can save the day(with some cautions). If you use it on acoustic drums(which means bleed on all drum tracks) you should make a group of all the drum audio tracks, so edits will maintain phase/time thru the EA edits. Next thing is; I recommend that you duplicate the playlist before you use EA on it as sometimes, EA will cause some artifacts that force you to revert and start over, or(if you don't notice it right away) you might end up with ruined audio(or copy the track and EA the copy). One side benefit of this is, sometimes you can copy original audio and place it according to the EA edits(BTW, PT9 is much better at avoiding artifacts....for me anyway).
