Chapter 8: Elastic Audio Plug-ins 125
Elastic Audio Preferences
Pro Tools provides several preferences for Elastic
Audio that determine which Elastic Audio plug-
in is used for preview and import, and whether
or not new tracks are created with Elastic Audio
enabled using the selected default plug-in.
Default Plug-in Lets you select any Real-Time
Elastic Audio plug-in as the default plug-in for
previewing and importing Elastic Audio. The se-
lected Default Elastic Audio plug-in is also used
when new tracks are created with Elastic Audio
enabled. The Elastic Audio Plug-in selector in
DigiBase browsers inherits the selected Default
Plug-in. Likewise, changing the selected plug-in
in DigiBase browsers updates the selected De-
fault Plug-in in the Processing preferences.
Default Input Gain Lets you attenuate the signal
input to Elastic Audio plug-ins by 0 to –6 dB for
preview and import. If you experience clipping
due to Elastic Audio processing during preview
or after import, you may want to set the Default
Input Gain to slightly attenuate the audio signal
input for Elastic Audio processing. This prefer-
ence also applies to any audio imported to an
Elastic Audio–enabled track.
If you commit any regions on a track (by dis-
abling Elastic Audio on the track) that were im-
ported with Input Gain, their region-based In
put Gain is reset to 0.
The Elastic Properties window inherits the De-
fault Input Gain preference. To apply further re-
gion-based Input Gain for Elastic Audio process-
ing, select the region and adjust the Input Gain
setting in the Elastic Properties window (see
“Elastic Properties Window” on page 122).
Enable Elastic Audio on New Tracks When se-
lected, new tracks are created with Elastic Audio
enabled. The selected Default Plug-in is used.
Processing Preferences, Elastic Audio
If the Enable Elastic Audio on New Tracks
option is selected, you may want to also se-
lect the New Tracks Default to Tick Time-
base option in the Editing Preferences page.
