Warp beats, pitch shift, and match recorded audio to the tempo of your track ... elastic audio is the tool for you!

Elastic Audio is an essential tool for any composer or producer working in Pro Tools. It's ability to time stretch audio in realtime (Elastic Time) was enhanced in Pro Tools with Elastic Pitch -- the ability to quickly change the pitch of any audio. But, most people rarely explore the possibilities that Elastic Audio offers.

In Pro Tools 205: Elastic Audio, Pro Tools expert Scott Freiman walks through detailed examples of the many uses of Elastic Audio. Matching audio to tempo without changing pitch. Adding realtime tempo changes to your audio. Auditioning loops at tempo. Working with REX and ACID loops. Warping beats. Pitch shifting. These and many more techniques can help improve any session -- from a classical recording to a remix to a film score.

Scott covers all the basics, as well as all the hidden details of Elastic Audio. This is one Pro Tools course that you certainly don't want to miss!
