Chapter 16: DigiBase 311
When the Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo
button is enabled, Pro Tools analyzes any un-ana-
lyzed files on preview or import. Tick-based audio
files conform to the session tempo during preview
and on import. Sample-based files, those where no
tempo has been detected, always preview and im-
port at their original speed and duration.
When the Audio Files Conform to Session Tempo
button is disabled, any tick-based audio files with
Elastic Audio analysis, and REX and ACID files
preview at their native tempo.
Elastic Audio Plug-In Selector
The Elastic Audio Plug-In selector lets you select
any Real-Time Elastic Audio plug-in as the default
plug-in for previewing and importing Elastic Au-
dio. Changing the plug-in in any DigiBase browser
also affects the
Elastic Audio Default Plug-In option
in the Processing preferences.
Preview Modes
DigiBase browsers provide three Preview modes:
Normal Preview, Loop Preview, and Auto-Pre-
view.
Normal Preview
Normal Preview simply plays the selected audio
file and stops at the end of the file. Deselect Loop
Preview and Auto-Preview for Normal Preview
mode.
Loop Preview
Loop Preview plays the selected file by looping
playback of the file. If multiple files are selected,
only the first selected file previews. When Loop
Preview mode is enabled, the Preview button up-
dates to show a Loop Preview Mode icon.
To loop preview a file in a DigiBase browser:
1 Do one of the following:
• In the Browser menu, select
Loop Preview. The
Browser Preview button updates to show the
Loop Preview icon.
• Right-click the Preview button and select Loop
Preview.
2 Select an audio file in a DigiBase browser’s
Items List. Make sure the DigiBase browser is
the foreground (active) window.

Spacebar Toggles File Preview is selected in
the Browser menu, press the Spacebar.
