bad sample quality

[UNCND]

Hey Guys,
Ableton seems to warp all the samples I import even if I unwarp it still sound bad . Especially white noises. I tried to play around with buffer size and sample rate but it doesn't change anything. I-m currently trying to import some waterfall noise and it-s very annoying. Anyone the same ?
thx

Nope. Never had a problem with sample quality. Have you turned off the auto warp function in Preferences?

How are you importing the samples? I

Can you upload examples of the original sample and a render of it after import, exhibiting the problem?

pretty sure that's the solution.

[UNCND]

here is a link to the both audio.
In addition I should mention that Ableton is already playing the audio like that in the preview window.

Sounds to me that the CPU can't keep up. I noticed the same with pink noise when I use lots of resource-intensive instruments on other tracks.
But this was an export, right? Not a recording? What did you specifically do to arrive at "ableton audio"?

[UNCND]

yep, really? cause the cpu usage percentage stays very low and its new 16 GB RAM...? plus I don't have any problem in logic X.
Its an audio taken with my phone (but does the same with samples from splice or such) that I just dragged and dropped into Ableton. and then exported as a WAV.

Yes, based on my experience. I get similar "skips" when the CPU is under heavy use, and when not it's perfect noise. I'm not sure why noise would be so straining. Unwarped in my case too.

I'd make a bug report of this (the "Submit your technical support request" link at the bottom).

^ is there a chance that an effect, or a gate or a limiter is being triggered by the noise - basically something in one of the chains that is forced to react in a way that gobbles resources?

@UNCND i don't believe you posted whether there is anything else in terms of effects, VSTs, or routing that could be unusual in your template set.

are there any devices that can be removed, muted, or deactivated?
do you have Spectrum activated on this track?
could you try deleting the 'default template set' and starting over from scratch?
