subtracting very small portions of audio mate-
rial and very quickly crossfading between these
alterations in the waveform of the audio mate-
rial.)
Crossfade length affects the amount of smooth-
ing performed on audio material. This prevents
audio artifacts such as clicks from occurring.
Long crossfade times may over-smooth a signal
and its transients. This may not be desirable on
drums and other material with sharp transients.
Use the Crossfade slider to manually adjust and
optimize crossfade times if necessary. For audio
material with sharper attack transients, use
smaller crossfade times. For audio material with
softer attack transients, use longer crossfade
times.
Min Pitch Sets the minimum, or lowest, pitch
that will be used in the plug-in’s calculations
during the Time Compression/Expansion pro-
cess. The control has a range of 40 Hz to 1000
Hz.
This control should be set lower when process-
ing bass guitar or audio material with a low fre-
quency range. Set this control higher when pro-
cessing higher frequency range audio material.
Accuracy Prioritizes the processing resources
allocated to audio quality (Sound) or timing
(Rhythm). Moving the slider towards “Sound”
generally results in better sonic quality and
fewer audio artifacts. Moving the slider towards
“Rhythm” puts the emphasis on keeping the
tempo consistent.
When you are working with audio loops, listen
carefully and adjust the Accuracy slider until
you find a setting that keeps timing solid within
the clip. If you don’t, start and end times may be
precise, but the beats in rhythmic material may
appear to be shuffled if too little priority is given
to Rhythm.
Time Compression & Expansion settings
created in version 4.x and later of Pro Tools
for Windows are not compatible with later
versions.
