Re: Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

I'll contact them as you suggest, and in the meantime keep messing around with it, see if I can isolate factors,

Thanks again for running through various parameters with me, as it's great background troubleshooting before I'm actually talking with them.

Re: Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

Only green on the input while recording. Is it normal for me to be getting input meter readings on Ableton even when Scarlet gain is all the way to the left ("zero") ? I have a reading and sound in both direct monitor and post Ableton (with latency) when scarlet input gain is at zero, and ...

Re: Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

Yes, I believe that is how I configured it. Here is a link to a screen shot showing both my system and Ableton settings for audio. Please let me know if there are other configuration windows which might be of help. System & Ableton Settings : https://i.postimg.cc/ThM9gyd6/All-in-one-info-grab.png

Re: Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

Ableton's on-board files and downloads sound great (samples, drums, grooves, etc... ). I don't quite understand how to use all these different file types, but I've played around with them and they sound very good. I've also recorded with my bass without this specific problem, but I play gently, and ...

Re: Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

I just made a few further tests, first using my Stratocaster through the amp (since its single coil pickups are far less powerful than my Les Paul's humbuckers), limiting both Scarlete input level, and guitar volume level as well, and while this might have mitigated the phenomenon somewhat, I still...

Re: Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

Thanks for the feedback and thoughts, (sorry to be responding so late, but the site didn't notify me desite my having activated e-mail notification). I will do this experiment very soon for evaluation, but I hope to solve the problem through my amps, because direct guitar input will mean playing &qu...

Recording's saturation & clipping despite low adjustments on Scarlet

Hi everyone, I keep getting saturation / peaking while recording my guitar with my Scarlet 2i2 in Ableton despite careful input adjustments. I am taking the line output of my guitar amp (Fender Super Champ DX), and doing my best to adjust levels correctly on the Scarlet. The “inst” button is de-acti...

No audio output device box / field visible in Live Lite

Hi, I am only just gettign started with Ableton Live Lite (which came with my ocusrite Scarlett interface). I've got a playback problem, and already checked many videos and websites to troubleshoot this before coming here. I have successfully recorded a few audio test snippits (audio input - guitar)...
