Re: Strange problem with Elastic Audio
No. That didn't help. OK, let me tell you step by step exactly to a T what I'm doing. Create a new session and I called the session in the Dashboard, "Horse" Then hit the create button. In the new blank session, I pressed Command+F11 twice with FloTools to type a constant tempo value. I entered 95, and hit return. Next, I hit VO+M to go to the menu bar, then to track, and finally insert click track. Next, I pressed Command+Shift+I to import the mp3 file. I navigated to my home directory with Command+Shift+H, then found the file 06 My Horse and Me.mp3, and got it imported. In the mix window, I navigated to the music track, and hit slash to turn on the inspector. I quickly double pressed the letter B, and set the time base to ticks on the music track. I then quickly pressed the letter E twice, and selected polyphonic. I then pressed Command+Equals to move to the edit window. I pressed VO+J to jump to the track list. I landed on shown, 06 my horse and me.mp3. I pressed CTRL+P, which selected my click track, then CTRL+semicolon to re-select the music track. I then pressed VO+J to jump to the clips list. I heard I was on a disclosure triangle for the first clip. What's weird is, this clip while not selected says the time base is samples, but what's odd is, if I VO+Down to the next clip, somehow, it's made another clip which has the time base set to ticks 95BPM. I'm not sure why there are 2 clips, one samples, and 1 ticks, but ok, whatever. I proceed. I press VO+Space on the second one of those clips that says the time base is set to ticks. This seems to select it. I then press VO+M to go to the menu bar, then to the clip menu. Then, I VO+Down arrow through the clip menu until I reach conform to tempo. Oddly, among all 22 something odd items in the clips menu, only about 2 of them aren't dimmed out. Elastic properties is there, though when I go in there, I'm told no clips with elastic audio are selected. And, conform to tempo is dimmed. I read online when Googling that someone else back in 2010 had this issue, and while I know that was lightyears ago, it was said that mp3 files aren't supported. It has to be something like a wav file, or .aif, however, even after re-encoding the file with another format, it didn't help. And no, it's not this one file/song only. I've tried with about 6 or 7 different things. I should add this is again, a song I ripped off one of my CD's back in the days. This is *not* a loop or the like. I also have tried enabling and disabling the conductor track, just in case that mattered, but that didn't help either.

Re: Strange problem with Elastic Audio
Try deselecting and reselecting the track with control p and semicolon before selecting the clip. Strange suggestion perhaps but that seems to fix things usually. If not, come back here and we'll go from there. Rory > On Sep 2, 2023, at 8:49 AM, Chris Gilland wrote: > > I have a really strange problem. > > I have ripped a track into mp3 from one of my CD's.

Strange problem with Elastic Audio
I have a really strange problem. I have ripped a track into mp3 from one of my CD's. This particular artist did not record things straight on the grid with a click track, so obviously, human nature, they're going to gradually slow up and down very suddly through the song. For this reason, I'm trying to set my session to a constant BPM tempo of 95, then have it where even though it may sound a bit artificial, essentially, I want the song to play at a constant BPM of that 95 and automatically adjust and compensate accordingly. I've enabled the elastic audio plugin on the track, and set it to poliphonic, and after doing this, I then set the track's time base to ticks instead of samples. The problem is, after I do this, then go into the edit window, and select the second clip which was created, which has the time base set to ticks, if I then go to the clip menu in the menu bar, I find that conform to tempo is dimmed where I can't activate that option from the clip menu. I can't begin to imagine I'm doing anything wrong, am I? I listened to the tutorial on the pt access github and from what little I can tell, I did this exactly the same way Slau did it in the demonstration. What on earth am I missing?
