Most DAWs have a way of using time compression and expansion to quantize audio these days. If Pro Tools and Reaper licenses Elastic Audio , Logic uses their FlexTime algorithm. It can be done in reaper as well yes. The problem is the efficient ways of doing this is A( very visual, and B(

Not to discourage you from Pro Tools as its definitely the most accessible out of the box and SloTools only seem to make it more so. However what you are describing can be done in reaper on the Mac especially now that the OSARA plug in has been ported. I was just a bit confused since you stated

I imagine once he got the tempo following along to the subtle tempo changes if the right elastic audio algorithm is selected and then all the tempo changes selected and changed to the same value the audio should playback at the set tempo then. Just going by what I remember from using ProTOols.

Hi Ignasi, Pro Tools First is somewhat accessible but I'd recommend the regular version of Pro Tools (some refer to it as "vanilla"). While HD has some more features, I'd say it's not particularly necessary for what you are planning to do plus it'll be much, much more expensive. Slau > On Sep
