Ableton Forum

I've been at this for days now!

Trying to render a song, but I can't get rid of the clicks and pops. I've bounced all the tracks to audio, and they are clean (no clicks), but when I bounce the master there are always a few clicks and pops.

I think the problem is my liquid mix... I have twelve instances of it across the session. The audio has to render in real time because it runs through the liquid mix box...

So I thought I might solve the problem by freeing up resources. All unneccesary programs shut, latency in Ableton up to max, latency on Liquid mix up to max. I can't think what else to do!

Anyone have any ideas?! Frustration is building over here!

Thanks!

try recording your master output into a new audio channel

right click on the newly recorded track and select "show in browser"

the audio file will be highlighted in abletons browser - right click on that and select "show in finder" and you will find your audio file

see how that sounds

Thanks for the suggestion dude.
I tried that already though, and unfortunately that was even worse, with clicks and drop outs!
My processor's only running at about 25%...so I dont understand.
Seriously though, I appreciate the suggestion. If you got any more, I'd love to hear them!

You might try freezing/flattening some of your tracks. If the problem persists, then please get in touch with technical support: http://www.ableton.com/support

Yes, Im in the process of doing that right now, but having to work around all my sidechaining.

But yes, if the problem persists I will contact support...

Tip about working around sidechaining - if the sidechain devices are at the end of the effects chain, then you can work around freezing by using Group tracks. Make the track a group track, keep everything but the sidechaining devices on the original track, and move the sidechaining devices to the master track for the group. Then freeze the original.

My mistake, one of my tracks was crackling...so I guess it happened during recording, but it slipped by me somehow. Thanks for the help.
