I need to know if there is a way to copy analysis markers from one track to another. I can't figure it out, not even sure if it's doable.

You could maybe group the tracks, grab the marker and don't move it. It should create a new marker on the new track. Elastic audio is cool but you gotta be careful like if you double miked an acoustic guitar. Since the audio isn't exactly the same creating/moving markers can make it sound weird and out of phase.
Yeah I was doing this to a small degree. I was looking for a fast fix. All well maybe if I dick around enough I can find it....

i dont think there is actually.... I couldn't get it to put the warp markers from the kick across the whole drum group for instance. Let me know if you discover a way because its a pain if you want to time stretch two mics on a cab.
I see your having the same issue.
I'm figureing this out though, I will call digi if I have to.
Try to search for this feature - I once saw page about elastic audio in new pro tools and seems there is some to do it for several tracks...
I don`t use pro tools so I don`t remember location.
From what you say it seems that pro tools don`t move further than cubase/nuendo.
Same thing - markers (warp tabs) can not be copied across tracks.

I liked the "quantizing multitrack-drums with elastic audio" -video on the digi-page, fucked around with it a bit yesterday and it was fun.
although it's exactly the same thing Cubase/Nuendo has been doing for some time now, PT incorporated the same weaknesses as well, so for now quantizing drums is IMO still easier/cleaner in the old-fashioned slice-move-xfade way
why don't you just stretch the DI-track before reamping? gives a cleaner result anyway.
doesn't help the OP though...

The issue for me is the analysis on the OH track, it sucks no matter how much I tweak it.
So I would much rather copy all the analysis points on the kick, snare, and tom tracks and go with that.
But I haven't figured it out yet...
I have tried setting the analysis to 0% on the OH tracks and grouping all the tracks to see if that would jive but it does not.

Im talking about if you alter the tempo and you have 2 mics on a cab, it sees them both differently so the phase gets messed around.

Use beat detective for drums. You already know how to do that, EA isn't going to sound as good as that unless you use the x-form algorithm and that takes a decade to process.
Elastic audio works much better for single tracks or stereo tracks. Its great for timing background vocals or doubled vocals.
Andy try put the 2 tracks on a stereo track and work off that, drag them back onto the original mono tracks after committing the EA. I used that method for a DI and reamped Bass tracks and it worked awesome.

Going offtopic did you start using 2 mics on one cab?
p.s
Remember to listen to my cd Andy!
X-form?
Honestly I haven't messed with elastic audio that much. I have done some processing on drums (current tracks that this thread is refering to) and didn't notice anything odd sounding. I'm not moving drums that much though, my only issue is the OH tracks don't want to match up with everything else
.As far as how it sounds, as long as your not stretching something alot it's not that noticable.

I do really like Elastic Audio, I do think it sounds really good. I don't think time stretching is the best way to tighten a drum performance.
I prefer using Beat detective on drums, for now anyway.
I watched the new videos on DigiTV last night and it makes a lot more sense now. I tried when it first came out and I couldn't get it to keep markers in their relative positions, that may have been in a cs update too though. Anyway, I'm gonna try it again and see if its A) faster or B) better sounding than Beat Detective in Collection mode.

Still prefering BD over Elastic Time? I just bought MBox 2 Mini/MPTK and I need to edit some drums.
