Song distorts in certain section

Post by debeatz » Sat Oct 14, 2023 1:33 am

Hello! I am here because I am new to Ableton and I am having an issue with one of my tracks distorting in a certain section. To be more specific here's an image of the time line: https://ibb.co/1zX5syw

when the track play at the 7 mark it sounds fine, I copied and pasted that same pattern 3 more times as you can see but section 7.2 and 7.4 distort heavily. I've checked to see if maybe I had accidentally messed with the volume automation and it's not that. I've tried just moving the sections over to a different spot in the timeline but no matter what I do, both of those to beat sections distort.

I'm running a MacBook Pro 2018 with the latest version of Mac OS Sonoma, no audio interface, and the latest version of Ableton live suite (free trial edition).

Thank you :D

Maybe too much low end? Those kicks look fat. Try using a compressor and maybe it will stop distorting. Make sure that the bars stay green.
