It involves manually editing say a bass track when it gets too far off the grid and adjusting the new clip to the grid. If there's a gap between clips then switch the trim tool to TCE and stretch the last bass note to fill in the gaps. You just need a little overlap for multiple TCE clips so that when you're done you can do a batch crossfade for the entire track. I find that the Waves Sound Shifter set in preferences works best. If you do get warble, you could try switching to one of the Avid TCE processors. This way you still have a mostly unprocessed bass track and the notes that are stretched still sound good.

This is the way I work with bass in rock and metal genres. I find it gives great results and is pretty quick when you are used to the process. If I have a 5 string player, it goes into Melodyne to be tuned too.

True dat!

Insane how no one seemed to care. It's seriously bad on every single sustained bass note.

Agreed ✅

Then should have used AutoTune on max for the flow and this is 🔥🔥🔥

...the kind of fire that makes you want to burn every copy that exists ✅✅✅
