Elastic Audio in ProTools!

I was waiting for this topic to come up. I am a reluctant PT user. But I am a proud Abe user. The new PT elastic is amazing. I have been using it quite a bit. One thing that I liked was that you could select as many tracks as you wanted (like all the drums) and quantize them. I was trying to do this in Ableton....is this possible? It's true, the warping sounds fantastic. Also, the quantize in PT offers so many more options. Why hasn't Ableton addressed this? But the creative flow is always lacking in PT. Plus the support sucks (longest phone holds ever). I am always happy to know that I am supporting a company of real human beings.

The workflow of EA in pro tools is amazing. Let's hope Ableton puts some extra work in 7.1 to retake the warping crown!

very very nice indeed, basicly ableton has become an instrument, like an instrument environment unto itself, imho there is no reason why I shouldn't have both ableton and protools, the problem with protools has always been that it has been very bland, that looks like it's changing and as a functional tool this latest version looks to be great at what it claims to do, in theory it should be a pleasure to do a remix in 7.4

now ableton live is a completely different paradigim, it's always been an instrument but like i said it's now more of an instrumental environment and nothing compares to it. imagine having a guitar and everytime someone in your band touched the guitar it changed into another guitar, or another instrument entirely, that is what ableton is like.

in my opinion the difference between Live and protools is like software and hardware, everyone should have both.
