Ableton Forum

I was working on a project. Put a few hours into it. Closed it. Opened it again later, everything was fine.
Opened it again just to listen to it and my two Massive synths are totally sounding ridiculous. I can't even
say exactly what's wrong with it because its got the same gist as it should but it sounds so bad. Like very
loose and sloppy sounding, totally messed up. Almost the way synths can sound when they are pitched really
low, that type of loose are awful sound.

When I open that sound in standalone Massive it sounds just like it should, so it can't be that I altered the
patch in some way, at least that doesn't make sense to me for that reason... I also don't believe that I messed
up the clip itself somehow. I had saved it after listening and deciding to stop for the day, just as I had done
100's of times before. I even chose a new patch in Massive, and then reloaded the correct one hoping that it would
reset itself and be back to normal but no luck.

Turned off all the effects following it, checked a few settings in the clip itself... I have no idea what's going on.
Has anyone experienced this? What can I do? I put some hours into this track and had lots of ideas of where it
was going next so I'm hoping I can get this squared away before the inspiration leaves me.

Ok so yesterday I spent a lot of time going back in and creating a new channel, adding a new Massive, pulling up the original preset, tweaking it back to how I had it set up, copying and pasting in the effects chain, copying the Midi clip over...

AND!

It happened again!! I just opened it up to listen to what I had added yesterday and the synths are all mangled again.

PLEASE! ANYONE! This is infuriating... I'm so confused.

I hope that this doesn't bump this thread up, but for anyone else who may come across this page looking for the answer: The easy solution is to simply duplicate the midi track that contains the problem. Delete the original track and use the new one, everything will sound fine. Not sure if that was a Massive issue or an Ableton issue but I'm posting this here because I stumbled across this old post of mine and had gotten it working and want to help someone else that may have the same issue down the road.
