Steinberg! elastique! pops! crackles! still here!

[sdaww]

I remind you that elastique (cubase 13.0.41) is still broken in cubase and nuendo, as I understand it since it was added to cubase/nuendo!
people have been writing about crackles and pops on the forum since 2015 (or maybe earlier). And the problem is still here:

Disk Preload causes audio glitch in Elastique Pro

I find Elastique Pro excellent for realtime stretch, but I’m noticing a strange, repeatable glitch. EXAMPLE Use Elastique Pro - Time algorithm on an audio track. Decrease the project tempo - the stretched audio plays OK. Cut up the audio into sections for looping. There is now a glitch in the audio. The glitch only happens on the first playback of the loop - not when the loop repeats. The glitch does not occur where the audio has been split. The glitch happens even with one track of audio …

Elastique glitchy/crackles with warp markers in C9.01

Doing some edits and Elastique is completely unusable when using with warp markers to timestretch. Cracles, pops glitches, that are present also in rendered file. If I open the same project in 8.5.2 all is flawless. Tried different algorihms. Tried several different files. Happens mostly with sustained material, like picked guitar,… Has anybody else noticed this?

[issue] Glitch on clip start transposed w elastique!

Hello! I’ve discovered a rather annoying bug when cutting up transposed audio using the elastique (pro) time algorithm (using C6.5). Repro: New Project Import or record some audio. A 440hz sine will expose the issue very obviously. Make sure the audio-file algorithm is set to an Elastique Time algorithm in the audio pool. Transpose the clip 12 semitones (or any other amount) Notice smooth playback! Split the clip using the scissor tool into a few segments. Notice “pitchbend” glitch on …

Elastique crackles/artifacts when using warp markers in 9.01

I already posted this in the bug reports but it miraculously hasnt appeared in that section. When using warp markers to timestretch elastique algorithm produces crackles and artifacts that are also present in render audio. If i open the same edited files in 8.5.2 all is normal without any issues. TRied different elastique algorithms, different files always clicky. This specially happens with sustained material like guitars or bass. I really hope this wont take a whole year again (like it did …

Elastique crackles/artifacts on audio playback in some cases

Hi! Have some time for investigating into the problem. There was officially confirmed issue on Cubase 9 [CAN-6011] and there is old thread describing the problem: [CAN-6011] AudioWarp/Quantize glitches (Now reproducible!) which is somewhat similar to mine. So I am experience it with C11.0.30 and THERE IS (!) clicks & pops in exported (freezed) audio This issue has absolutely random reproducibility (9 of 10 my tests it exists ) So there will be no steps to reproduce - Just hit play (could…

Phase drift and glitches with Transpose, Time stretching and AudioWarp/Quantize

Hi, This is a long post, please read carefully. I have done extensive testing trying to find out what could be the causes of the issue and possible workarounds. I wish a Steinberg employee could take a closer look to this issue. Transpose and Invert Phase from the Info Line and AudioWarp Quantize introduce phase drift. There is a simple way to demonstrate the issue. However, I highly recommend to use a spectrum analyzer like the new SuperVision. Put it on the output channel, select Spectru…

Warp marker with elastique pitch pop/crackle noises with example (video proof)

ELASTIQUE RANDOMLY CRACKS EVEN AFTER AUDIO RENDERING.
to reveal this effect, you just need to stretch the audio, change it by pitch, and add fades/crossfades, and crackles are guaranteed! always! (I know that it is possible to switch between elastique modes, and this will temporarily save me from clicks, but then they will still return.)

I checked on Windows and mac, amd and intel, different sound cards and RAM, the problem is still here

PLEASE! FIX IT!
I love cubase, and I use it for sound design, everything in it works well except elastique, which I use regularly

Yup. Most recently working on a vocal for warping. Bounced a phrase, made some adjustments, everything seemed ok until I tried increasing the gain on the clip. Then the pop started. Put the gain back to zero and pop went away. Similar to your fade-in YT clip.

Hey. I made one of that reports but that issue was fixed in the v9 cycle and I luckily havent came across it since then.

[EdGray]

Can confirm this also happens in Nuendo. Reported years ago, with proof and reproduction steps. Nothing’s been done about it, I wouldn’t hold your breath on it ever getting fixed!

[YashOnTheBeat]

Haa anyone tried using the Standard Stretch modes?

Do they have the same issues?
