About Rendered Files
Pro Tools creates temporary files for Rendered
Elastic Audio processing. These files are kept in a
new, auto-created Rendered Files folder in the
session folder. Once you commit Rendered Elas-
tic Audio processing to a track (by disabling
Elastic Audio on a track and clicking Commit in
the Commit Elastic Audio dialog), a new file is
written to disk in the Audio Files folder, and the
temporary rendered file from which it was cre-
ated is deleted from the Rendered Files folder.
Region Clip Indicator
(Rendered Processing Only)
Since Rendered Elastic Audio processing is not
real-time, it does not report clipping due to Elas-
tic Audio processing in the Elastic Audio plug-in
window. Instead, when clipping occurs due to
Rendered Elastic Audio processing, the region
displays an Elastic Audio Processing Clip indica-
tor just to the left of the Warp icon. To avoid
clipping on playback, lower the Input Gain for
the region in the Elastic Properties window (see
“Elastic Properties Window” on page 122).
Select Real-Time processing for tick-based
Elastic Audio processing (such as tempo
changes). Rendered audio processing can be
useful for sample-based Elastic Audio pro-
cessing or if you need to save system re-
sources.
Elastic Audio Plug-in Selector pop-up menu
To toggle between Real-Time and Rendered
Elastic Audio processing, Control-Start-
click (Windows) or Command-Control-
click (Mac) the Elastic Audio Plug-in but-
ton.
