Default Help on Elastic Audio Beat Grid / Quantize Disco songs

Hi guys
I was a DJ in my previous life and I'd like to beat grid some disco songs
I tried Elastic Audio Polyphonic but it generates too many event markers and I'd like to generate markers on each bars only, then adjust and conform to grid.
I'm a bit lost with all the features (Beat Detective or Quantize button, conductor On or Off).
I already checked some youtube tutorial but most are to align Drums
Can you guys give me some advice on the best way to beat grid these songs ?
No need for much details, just bullet point of the steps.
Using latest PT Ultimate 2023.6

Thanks a lot...

Hmmm, a few things to consider:
1-when using Elastic Audio, you can adjust the sensitivity to reduce the number of flagged transients(right-click on the audio and select elastic Properties)
2-if I understand what you want, it sounds like you are describing "generating a tempo map" and there is a method to do just that. As its too complex for me to try to explain here(especially since I'm not that skilled at it), I suggest searching youtube(or Groove3.com) for some tutorials

Default Re: Elastic Audio Beat Grid / Quantize Disco songs

Let's say a song is close to 120bpm but with a real drummer. I would set the tempo to 120, then adjust Bar 1|1 at the beginning, then activate Elastic Audio in Polyphonic mode.
After that, I would like to analyze the song to generate Warp Marker on the first beat of every bars (if possible). Then Conform these Warp Markers to the 120bpm Grid.
I could play a bit with Event Markers but do not feel this will change a lot as every Bars would be straight on Tempo.
I guess I'm pretty close to achieve that but results are in the Details and i don't know exactly how to get the results i want...

I did check Groove3 and some YouTube but nothing comes up as specific options/steps to do that.
