Live's sound taste metalic

[Tone Deft]

Acquire the skills - read the audio paper Ableton produced, watch how you do warping, make sure you enable Hi-Q on your clips and on EQ8, watch your levels and leave headroom and you should find your sounds improve. Knowledge is power.

Hey mon ami, where can this paper be found please ?

but anyway.. enough said about the issue.. it will hold on to improove up to the point there is none anymore...

There is no such point. In about 20 years, when I get my bionic ears, I'd still want better time stretching algorithms. When I saved up for the bionic vocal chords, I'll pitch my voice down about 2 octaves and yell "Nooooo!!!" slowly all the time. That'll never get old.

that's normal, that's the warp engine. check carefully which mode you're using, even complex pro introduces some artifacts. the cleanest is re-pitch
or you can simply desactivate Warp and it should not be metallic anymore.

I actually find that it tastes würmer, in an analog kind of way. Not as clean sounding as those other high-end DAWs like Logic or Cubase.

Cheers Tone.

WELL I heard that Live's master bus uses an emulation of the SSL mix bus compressor, so it MUST sound more analog and thereby better than any competing DAW.

I thought Live eumulated the Neve, not the SSL.
