Helping me?

H ello Everyone my name is fear. I am having a major problem concerning ableton live and i wish to ask the grace of the people here at this forum to help me out with my given issue.

Alright just to start off, I need help with recording something between abletonlive and reason. Can anyone help out. The sound comes out real loud and static y and its annoying, It takes the real sound quality from the guitar and messes it up. It especially does that with the low notes while playing on a guitar. Is there a way to decrease this sound and make the notes audible?

Guitar well here. My guitar line is hooked up to a xiosynth via line 2. I tried an pedal, sounded better but still like shit.

Guitars and Basses don't work well when they're plugged straight into mixers/interfaces/etc from my experiences.

Might want to look into a DI box or a Pod (Line 6 makes nice ones) for the guitar.. or Guitar Rig, or some other type of amp simulator if you don't want to go the hardware route..

I have the Xiosynth, fiddle with the volume settings, and the USB pan and USB volumes and all those settings that are in there, I found it kind of sketchy using the Xio as an interface but it should be decent if you hit a sweet spot with it..

Rewiring Reason with Live isn't so bad, you need to use the External Instrument Plug, sending MIDI into Reason, and receiving audio back from Reason into a track in Live.. but that's using the synths, it sounds like you're doing something else with "recording something between abletonlive and reason."

Your buffer can be found in Live by going to Preferences, going to the Audio tab, and looking in the Latency section. If your buffer is too low, it can distort your sound and would be a partial cause to your static output.

I got a major issue fixed, thanks to everyone across a ton of forums i have gone to but now i have a new problem that after i tell you my buffering.
Alright my stuff goes like this.
96 samples
4.08 ms
output 2.00ms
driver error compensation -2.00 ms
to low tell me what to do.

My new problem is, i need to switch my sound prefrences for 2 things, one to record and one for actually hearing sound.
Well, i want to hear what i play and what i record to in real time, but i have to switch between the 2 audio cards.

96 samples sounds low to me. Although I use it sometimes for performing that low. Never for recording, maybe live input, but not recording. My honest opinion is going to be learn your way through this the hard way. Who knows, maybe your are a recording genious, but I get the impression that you are very new to this. Either way you will benefit more from making tons of mistakes and twidiling knobs and parameters, reading tons of forums and manuals, lessons etc, than you will by someone telling you what you need to do.

Maybe I am off about this, but one who switches between sound cards to record and monitor, is not going to get killer realtime results. You get what you got to work with.
