Weird change in pitch in the whole midi track.. why?!

hi, im having this really weird problem in live as to where when ever i do a pitch bend riser in one clip on a track after a couple of play all the rest of the clips in the same track start sounding really weird.

Like for eg if i have a melody going on..and then later on in the song in the same track i make a pitch bend riser with another clip the melody starts sound really weird...maybe detuned or something but doesn't sound the same without making any changes to it. Every time this happens i have to duplicate the track or shut the project and find another way. can someone please help me.

on another note, a query bout mixing.
to make my kick sound punchy i make a notch in all the other tracks at the frequency of the kick after finding out where the kick hits the hardest via the spectrum. am i doing the right thing? sadly even after doing this my kick doesn't sound great. why? is it becoz its unmastered?

thank you :)

do you return the automation to the first point? can you get a screenshot?

^this, seems to me like your pitch automation is shifting chords, making them dissonant. Look into the automation parameters, there you should have your answer.

Yeah i think they are getting dissonant. what do u mean by look into automation parameters? i put an automation point at the beginning of a clip and another at the end. in between i draw the third one and make a pitch bend riser from the left to the right. so why are the rest of the clips sounding weird when played back?

Your issue is that the last thing recorded is the pitch at a different position than 0 so when you start the track again it will still be at that point until it reaches the clip that has the recorded automation. You can see this by opening whatever plugin you are using and looking at the pitchbend wheel in the UI. Drop an automation point at 0 in the first clip of the track and it will fix it.

What padi said. Happens a lot of times in other daws aswell. I'm not really a pro at live so i cannot tell with certainty, but it almost surely is a problem with the pitchbend parameter at the last note, or some bad MIDI

Cool thanks for the help guys! :)
