Slight Crackling in my Kicks

Post by DjCris3 » Tue Nov 26, 2019 1:55 am

Hi everyone I get a slight crackle in my play back on tracks it's not really loud but its very noticeable. I'm running on windows 10 intel core i7 2.20 ghz 16 gb ram with the last updated version of ableton 9. My interface is the UAD arrow. I optimized ableton following the video. There is just a slight crackle when I use ableton suite 808 kit. I've tried many different things. Unsure of why this is happening any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Is it too loud, are you clipping? Is it just a sample, and if so did you turn warping off for that clip?

It doesn’t show clipping on the meter. It’s the stock 808 kit that comes with ableton. I don’t hear it when I solo but when everything is playing together. It shouldn’t be cracking there are only 3 things on the rexording. Drums, vocal, and keys, the master isn’t clipping either.

Using any compression or limiting on the master channel?

Not trying to be dumb (although I am), are your speakers okay? You mention it only happens when you add other tracks. This is very odd.

That’s my guess, possibly disable soft clip if you do have?
