Quantizing Elastic Audio ! has any body tried this?
Chuck Reichel
Lets "see" if this is doable?
After the discussion last night about the Quantize window and the
discoveries that were made this just might work?
Here is a excerpt from the PT manual.
Chapter39: Event Operations 833
Quantizing Elastic Audio
ProTools lets you apply Quantize to Elastic Au-
dio events as well as MIDI notes. Quantize can
be applied to Event and Warp markers closest to
the quantize grid on Elastic Audio-enabled
tracks, regardless of whether they are sample- or
tick-based. When quantizing, Event markers
closest to the quantize grid are promoted to
Warp markers and all Warp markers closest to
the quantize grid are quantized based on the
Quantize settings.
Quantization can also be applied to region start
times (or sync points) on all audio tracks,
whether they are Elastic Audio-enabled, or sam-
ple- or tick-based. This lets you quickly quantize
audio regions without applying TCE, and is es-
pecially useful when working with “one-shot”
regions (single-event regions) such as sliced re-
gions or region groups.
To quantize Elastic Audio events:
1 Select the audio you want to quantize on Elas-
tic Audio-enabled tracks. (Audio not on Elastic
Audio-enabled tracks will not be quantized.)
2 Choose Events > Event Operations > Quantize.
3 In the Quantize window, select Elastic Audio
Events from the What to Quantize pop-up
menu.
4 Set the Quantize Grid and Options settings.
5 Click Apply.
The Warp and Event markers closest to the
Quantize Grid are quantized accordingly. TCE is
applied between these markers and all other
markers maintain their position relative to the
Quantize Grid.

Can anyone spare a sec to jot down what it was that has been discovered about the quantize window last night?
the hours I'm working clash horribly with the conference calls until the end of the month, but I'm keen not to fall too far out of the loop if possible.
Cheers

So i'm currently installing pt 9 as it just arrived this morning as i write to the list.
Before i start asking questions that might make people sigh, i wished to know where i can collect some of the more detailed instructions for pro tools, some hardware compatibility pages and tutorials?
Any help greatly appreciated.
P.S: THis dongle affair is straight annoying as it takes one usb from my macbook pro, but i'm hoping it will serve as serial check? Otherwise i have to wait for my girl to get back for jotting it down arghhh

So if you bring up the quantize window, option 0, you will see a bunch of controls and edit fields with values. If you check the swing box ten vo shift space on the edit field you can type in an amount. You will not see a change but it is there. You can also up arrow and down arrow to increment. You must click apply for it to take effect. The fields will always show zero using voiceover.
Hope you get to join us again soon. I know it's late for you folks over there. It's not really possible to have the time work for everyone. Trying to include the US mountain folks after work and such.
Take care

Welcome to the list. You'll find that after you've installed Pro tools, there will be a folder called "Digidesign" and within that folder there's a Documentation folder that contains more folders with tons of documentation. There's no tutorial, per se, but the Introduction guide goes through everything step by step. Read, read, read and ask detailed questions.
Cheers,
Slau

Welcome. Read the archives from the list, the pro tools reference guide, join in on the conference calls, and try things out. You will do just fine after a bit of time. Don't get discouraged. It does take time.
You must first get an ilok account. Then an avid account. Then you must log in to your avid account and use the code on the card you got in the box to have them deposit you a license in your ilok account. Let us know how you do.
Take care

I live in the netherlands and conference calls are too expensive I fear

Thanks for the welcomes.
Well, i've been doing what's required, got the ilock account, scanned my slip and OCRd it, but apparently its white on red background print, so i desaturated the image, increased the contrasts slightly and OCrd it, but compared to the example activation code entry, none of what my ocr gets is nearly close in figures.
I've been at this for nearly 3 hours now. What a good start :)
I guess i'll need sighted assistance for this one, duh
Best

I finally gave in and used my Optacon since my normal eyes were away. LOL
I think when I had written the numbers down I may have even called Avid to
make sure that I had gotten the right ones.

I had trouble with that part myself. Get some eyes on the situation. Once you get passed this you will be cool.

Alright so its all done, sent the scanned card to an avid rep here to check and the number was right, and i just had to register for tech suppport as the new dongle automatically makes the authorization upon purchase.
Now digging into the docs :)

No. I am not the list owner. What Slau said about ptaccess+u...@googlegroups.com should work.

No. You can sip to them for free.

Aha, that's quite a discovery! I'd checked out the window of course,
but always assumed that the fields weren't being updated as VO doesn't
reflect it. Never actually tried applying anything to see if it took
affect.
Come the end of March I'm my own boss again for a while, so I'll be
back on board with the conferences.

Don't forget about the "CombinedQuantizePopUpButton"
This has several dozen grooves in it!
I just went to the quantize window "option 0" and picked a "Logic
Style Groove" from the groove pop up menu and applied a swing groove
to test the quantization of a midi drum track and put a swing
groove on the midi funk drum track and bang it works fine.
Happy quantizing
next test will be the audio quantization?
just look for the CombinedQuantizePopUpButton and look at all the
options in this baby!
Logic Style Grooves submenu
also you can Recall with Template button
and save button
talk soon
