Ableton setup issue
View this Thread in Original format

Right, I'm trialling Ableton. I was using 8.0.2 now I'm using 8.2.2.

I got the same issue in each version.

I get the same issue regardless of wether I route audio through my on board sound card or my USB NI Audio 2 sound card.

What happens is that when I preview a track it plays fine, the minute I put it in one of my audio channels and play it it seems to stutter very slightly almost like it misses part of the beat. I liken it most to that slightly irregular sound you get when doing a key correction with some CDJ1000s. Totally unacceptable, and its definitely an issue, theres no way that anyone wouldn't notice this. The flow of the track just feels wrong, and I have them playing at their 'native' BPM.

I don't know where to start, but if anyone can help, or point me towards a better place to look then I'd be very grateful. Pretty sure it has something to do with sample rate, but why, and where do. I go with it?

Cheers all.

PS I'm using an Alienware M15x with a 920xm CPU running all 4 cores @ 3.2ghz and 8gb RAM with an Intel SSD. This machine will eat most others for breakfast, basically all I'm saying is that it's up to the job of running Ableton.

see if you can update your sound card driver on your machine.Are you asio4all?

adjust latency to 512 samples, samplerate to 44,1kHz resulting a 11,6ms latency. if it still a problem try 1024 samples (23ms). If still problem download new drivers. Make sure its ASIO if youre on PC.

turn off warping OR change the warp mode to either complex pro or repitch if you need it to be warped

I do believe changing the warp mode to REPITCH, then re-warping has resolved the issue.

I've yet to listen to the results on the big speakers, but confident I can hear no artifacting now.

Cheers
