Thanks for the info guys!

I have mics hooked up to Ableton for my drums. I want to apply effects to the channels via Ableton and monitor while I play in real time. I have very low latency, but a friend of mine who is an audio wizard said he thinks my effects are clipping the audio. (The audio only clips once I apply effects ...

I am new to Ableton so please bare with me ;)

I am recording drums over a drumless track. The way I had it setup to record was to have ableton record the music playing through my headphones (loopback off itunes) as well as the inputs from the microphones on the drums.
