All I can say is Thank You!

Recently, I was given several tracks to mix for a clients new CD. I tried to convince them to come to me for tracking, but they had other plans already in place. The tracks were, for the most part, craptastic. Very erratic timing on everything(mainly because they were trying to folow the drummer), vocals badly in need of tuning, crappy sounding drums, etc. I had come to the conclusion that I was in for a very long haul of replacing drums one hit at a time to keep in time with the rest of the tracks.
Then I found out about Elastic Audio on a friends system. I haven't upgraded, simply because I haven't had the time to use my rig for a while.
Well, I am almost through with getting everything in time. Replacing the drums that need it is going to be a breeze now. The songs are coming together nicely. Everything is much tighter.
As soon as I am finished with this work I will be upgrading my own rig to V8. I don't know what else to say other than...

Thank You DIGI!

EA is a f'in life saver! I use it on almost every track since I learned how to use it. 2 minutes on youtube and I was good to go. It's such a convenient tool and doesn't put artifacts in the audio, when used within limit!

Actually, it does add artifacts sometimes, but seemingly with no reason. While I use it and love it, its best to create a duplicate playlist(or duplicate the track) and work on a dupe of the original track so screwups(operator or otherwise) will not ruin the only good version of any audio track. I had it happen today after working on a pair of acoustic guitar tracks. Just mild correction but suddenly, a section began to warble. I closed without saving and re-opened by using Revert to Saved and went thru it again without incident. Sometimes, instead of selecting none and COMMIT, I will bus the audio(after EA corrections) to a new audio track and record it(and use the original track as a timing reference to align the new audio). All in all, its a killer feature.

I still use beat detective for drums, pick and rythm guitars. Even vocals sometimes. But as with EA use it within limits. I think EA is better if you have long sustained chords/notes, but Im used to work with beat detective and it's fast when you learn the shortcuts to it, quantize and crossfade.

[Nitronick]

Yeah, I've had a few artifacts. Really noticeable on vocals, but nothing that can't be replaced if you do proper backups. I usually have my sessions and all supporting stuff saved to at least one other hard drive.
