Source Length (Tick-Based Tracks Only)
The Source Length property displays the length
of the region based on the source file in bars and
beats. If the length of the source file was ana-
lyzed incorrectly, 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 (Tick-Based Tracks Only)
The Source Tempo property displays the average
tempo of the source file, which is calculated
based on the detected transient events and the
length of the file. If the tempo of the source file
was analyzed incorrectly, you can change it.
To change Source Tempo of a region:
1 Open the Elastic Properties window for the re-
gion.
2 Select the correct note value for the beat from
the Tempo Resolution pop-up menu. For exam-
ple, if the source file is in 5/8, select 1/8 note.
3 Do one of the following:
• Type the tempo in the Source Tempo field.
• If the tempo was incorrectly analyzed as
being half the tempo of the source file,
click the x2 button.
• If the tempo was incorrectly analyzed as
being twice the tempo of the source file,
click the 1/2 button.
Meter (Tick-Based Only)
Elastic Audio analysis does not calculate meter
and assumes all files are in 4/4. If you work with
meters other than 4/4, use the Meter property to
correctly identify the source meter.
To change Meter of a region:
1 Open the Elastic Properties window for the re-
gion.
2 Click in the Meter nominator field and type
the correct number of beats per measure. For ex-
ample, if the region is in 3/4, type 3.
3 Click the Meter denominator field and type
the correct note value. For example, if the meter
is in 6/8, type 8.
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.
