Hi Im trying to make a mix set. I noticed certain track's distort only in the high frequencies. I play them with I tunes and they sound fine. I also double check the volume settings to make sure the track isnt in the red. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how i can resolve this problem Thank you

are these mp3s, and are you warping these tracks? which warp method are you using?

Itunes may be adding compression so I wonder if comparing is not beneficial.

These are mp3's I ussed previous versions of ableton and never had this issue. I am warpping by creating the marker and dragging it to the begining of the first beat of every 16 bars.

When they say 'warp method' they mean on the selector for the clip: either beats, re-pitch, textures, complex, etc. They each can sound drastically different. If you just reinstalled ableton, your default warp method might be 'beats', you can try 'complex'.
