If the out of your KP3 is unplugged (ie not going in to Live) do you hear the unaffected track?

this method produces the same flattened bass sound...

this makes absolutely no sense why this is happening >_<

When I wear the headphones connected to the Kp3, the sound is nice and clear. But when ableton receives the signal back, it comes back muddy and flattened.
Could it maybe be your audio interface ins? Do you have any other inputs to compare against?

CASE CLOSED!!!! thank you kind sir...


I don't know exactly why, but when I plugged the input into the FRONT of my NI audio 8, the sound is PERFECT.

That's so strange!

But I'm glad this is figured out.

Now I need to do some research into exactly why the Inputs on Channel A/B of my NI audio 8 sound so crappy....

I've tried it both ways (send and direct) and I haven't had any issues. What kind of interface do you have? can you try plugging the outputs from the KP3 into a different pair of inputs on the sound card? how are the inputs labeled?
