Logic 9 has features as mentioned below too.
Its called the "flex" tool, and essentially does the same as the ProTool
one.
Its got another couple of fancy features when used together with the
selection
tool though, allowing the user to select the piece of audio to move, and it
will then
timestrecht before & after it. Makes for great use if a drummer misses a
hit, or guitarist
strums that little too late...
Nice features... If i ever understand the Ardour code base I might peek
about to see what
can be done... ;-)
Cheers, -Harry

What is elastic time then? How is it different
from time stretching?
fundamentally, its no different. but the term as i've seen it used by
digi, steinberg, cakewalk etc. refers to a more seamless integration
of it into the DAW workflow. i have to admit that when i saw a demo of
the first version of PT to do this, i was totally blown away. just
what digi had done with the GUI alone made me sweat profusely thinking
about how much work it would be. one example i saw was taking a female
vocal line, putting two markers around a particular section of vocals
and then stretching/compressing them in time by moving the markers.
rubberband can do this kind of thing, but in the demo, the waveforms
and everything else move dynamically as this is done. it changes the
basic model of what a DAW is from "something that plays back bits of
audio files in a specified order" to "something that continually feeds
audio through timestretching algorithms with dynamic parameters".
doing this efficiently ... i can imagine how to do it, but sheesh, its
a huge amount of work (perhaps, as usual, more in the GUI than
anywhere else)
