Just installed 6.5.5 and indeed, the problem persists. This is very disturbing and renders Elastique Pro useless for pitching tasks.
I’ve submitted a support ticket for 6.5.4 (no response yet) and will do the same for 6.5.5. I kindly request other users suffering this issue to do the same.
I’ve included these video links of the behavior in my support requests.
Have you tried it on a new clip? I believe Helge said it the bug was in the analysing algorithm, so the patch doesn’t help for edits previously made in variaudio.
Well the truth must have hurt, because I received a 7 day ban for bumping this.
So, good luck with the future SB because I shall not be spending a single penny more with you!
The strange thing is, when I use Elastique Pro Pitch instead of Elastic Pro Time, I won’t get the pitch jump when I transpose the event. BUT there still is an interruption at the start of every transposed event. It’s not seamless.
Because I thought it was the algorithm causing these artifacts I did the same tests in Reaper (like Cubase 6/7 it also uses élastique Pro V2) but the artifacts that occur in Cubase, don’t occur there. Playback is smooth and seamless
Cheers.
I asked it in the C7 pre-sales section and added a few video’s of the behavior, because somehow I think not a lot of people use this feature so never notice its behavior isn’t as expected.
A short follow up.
I received a reply from Steinberg Support.
To solve the pitch jump when using the Elastique Pro algorithm, use Elastique Pro-Pitch instead of Elastique Pro-Time when transposing.
Zplane also confirmed this is known behavior when using the Elastique Pro-Time algorithm in Cubase.
So this part of the issue is covered (I won’t vent my opinion because I don’t want to get banned by one of the mods).
There still is an issue standing out with transposed events in Cubase 6.5 though (any algorithm), but that’s off topic regarding this thread, so I won’t talk about that here.
You beauty!!! Thanks for your efforts Niles! Works great!
Why it took so long to get this answer is beyond me… I guess the moral of the tale is: If you want something fixing before you die of old age, then contact support directly instead of relying solely on this forum and the peanut gallery.
Next question:
Is there a way to set “Elastique Pro Pitch” as the default for newly created audio?
The default always seems to be “Elastique Pro Time” and I can’t seem to find an option anywhere in prefs.
(in prefs → editing → audio, I can change the algorithm used for the “time stretch” tool, but that’s a different thing)
I don’t often transpose, and when I do I use a hardware box. But I’ve been following the forum for the progress on the issues with transposing, as I’d like to keep it in Cubase one day!
I’ve gotten a bit confused though, are there references to multiple issues with transpose, or just the one addressed here? I saw the video by Niles with the fades in/out … is that the only issue? If not, I’d be grateful if someone (either here or in a new thread) could reorient me and summarize, with links to vids if possible.
