Elastic Properties Window
The Elastic Properties window displays informa-
tion about Elastic Audio processing and analysis
for one or more regions. You can also use the
Elastic Properties window to adjust Elastic Audio
processing and analysis data.
There are different Elastic Properties available in
the Elastic Properties window, depending on
whether the track is tick-based or sample-based.
If the track is sample-based, a reduced set of Elas-
tic Audio Properties are displayed.
Region Property
The Region property in the Elastic Properties
window displays the name of the region and in-
dicates whether or not the region is on a tick or
sample-based track. If more than one region is
selected, the number of selected regions is dis-
played. If regions on both tick and sample-based
tracks are selected, only the reduced set of prop-
erties are displayed.
Source Length Property (Tick-
Based Tracks Only)
The Source Length property in the Elastic Prop-
erties window displays the length of the region
based on the source file in bars and beats. If the
length of the source file was analyzed incor-
rectly, you can change it.
To change the Source Length of a region:
1 Open the Elastic Properties window for the re-
gion.
2 Do one of the following:
• Type the correct bar, beat, and tick values
in the Source Length field.
• If the duration was incorrectly analyzed as
being half the duration of the source file,
click the x2 button.
• If the duration was incorrectly analyzed as
being twice the duration of the source file,
click the 1/2 button.
Source Tempo Property (Tick-
Based Tracks Only)
The Source Tempo property in the Elastic Prop-
erties window displays the average tempo of the
source file, which is calculated based on the de-
tected transient events and the length of the file.
If the tempo of the source file was analyzed in-
correctly, you can change it.
Elastic Properties, tick-based
Elastic Properties, sample-based
Changing the duration of a region on an
Elastic Audio-enabled track using the TCE
Trimmer tool updates the Source Length in
the Elastic Properties window.
