i don't use elastic audio on guitars... are you using it for that joey?
i just chop up the notes and slide em together
great for vocals though... what have you been doing with it joey?
i use elastic audio to tighten performances
i'll hit record, guitar player will play riff best to his ability
next step is warping the notes into time on the grid, its still a bit of an approximate (not 100% tight, but close enough to sound produced and not fake)
next you commit to that edit, and then you edit parts of the riffs, for instance: if there's a monophonic note in the riff and sometimes when he hits that note there's another string ringing over it by accident, you chop those out and replace with clean monophonic versions of the note
next you crossfade those edits together and consolidate, then you put it in the guitar pile
you do this for every guitar part of the song and eventually you come out perfect. doing it this way, you dont have to mess with region locations / region editing to tighten the timing of the riffs, which in my opinion is much more graceful than the older other methods.
for anyone who says elastic audio sounds like shit, its because they're using it to time compress or expand audio more than 2% of its original length. its meant to tighten, not change 8th notes into quarter notes! lol
