Weird thing is happening in Ableton for me...any ideas?

[ESSBEEDEE]

Ok so i'm working on a track.....

And on the builds where im using some white noise that are quite high frequency...as they are reaching their peak it starts to distort and crackle.....

but here is the weird thing....when i export the track out of Ableton....there is no distortion or crackling....

Anyone have any ideas why I hear it in the project but not when I export it?

Wat kind of levels are you talking about, are you seeing red on the master?

latency

+1
Also check your CPU usage meter at the upper right hand corner of ableton as your track plays and see if there are any points where it spikes or goes over 65% this will cause some distortion issues. To resolve this freeze the tracks or record the audio to a separate channel and delete the midi clip entirely, this will save your cpu in the long run as you add more tracks to the mix as well.

How do you guys figure it's latency?

Hey guys,

Thanks for commenting about the levels Tarakith......I checked the levels and I figured out what it was.

The channel I had the white noise samples on was on +6 DB's !!! I had no idea I did that, anyway I brought out down and adjusted the level on the sample itself and all is well.

Sweet, glad you got it sorted.
