About Rendered Files
Pro Tools creates temporary files for Rendered
Elastic Audio processing. These files are kept in
an auto-created Rendered Files folder in the ses-
sion folder. Once you commit Rendered Elastic
Audio processing to a track, a new file is written
to disk in the Audio Files folder, and the tempo-
rary rendered file from which it was created is
deleted from the Rendered Files folder.
Region Clip Indicator
(Rendered Processing Only)
Since Rendered Elastic Audio processing is not
real-time, it does not report clipping due to Elas-
tic Audio processing in the Elastic Audio plug-in
window. Instead, when clipping occurs due to
Rendered Elastic Audio processing, the region
displays an Elastic Audio Processing Clip indica-
tor just to the left of the Warp indicator.
To avoid clipping on playback, lower the Input
Gain for the region in the Elastic Properties win-
dow (see "Elastic Properties Window" on
page 787).

Elastic Audio Plug-ins

Pro Tools provides several algorithms for real-
time and rendered track-based Elastic Audio pro-
cessing. The selected Elastic Audio plug-in deter-
mines how the audio is processed. Each plug-in
uses different algorithms for Elastic Audio pro-
cessing. Different algorithms are better suited to
different types of audio. Select the plug-in
whose algorithm is appropriate to the material
on the track you want to process.
Elastic Audio plug-ins have their own selector
that is only available in the Edit window. You
cannot insert Elastic Audio plug-ins on track in-
serts.
Elastic Audio plug-ins provide few to no adjust-
able parameters. The adjustable controls, if any,
are available in the Elastic Audio Plug-in win-
dow. Elastic Audio plug-in parameters cannot be
automated.
