\u201cHow do I tempo change a loop in Pro Tools?\u201d This is a common question and the answer is, \u201cThere are lots of ways.\u201d You could use Beat Detective, or you could use the TCE Tool, or you could use Elastic Audio. You could even use a combination of all three tools. It really depends on the source material and your sonic objective. OK, that doesn\u2019t really help does it? How about a video tutorial?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is a method that I use all the time. It works particularly well for remixing stereo masters (like the audio from a record or CD) because of how it treats the source material. I use both the TCE Tool to round up the tempo of my loops and Elastic Audio for the general tempo changes. Actually, you don\u2019t need to use the TCE Tool, once you discover the tempo of your initial loop and lock it to the session\u2019s tempo you can jump right to Elastic Audio. But, I like to have my audio loop\u2019s tempo rounded to a whole number in order to make it easy to move around on the grid. Plus, I\u2019ve been using the TCE Tool for years, long before Elastic Audio came along. Sometimes old habits are hard to break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
