Ableton Forum

I am having a problem which happens when using Live, in that on playing my guitar, via an IK Multimedia Stealth Plug, through Ableton the output is fine, but consistently after playing for a while the guitar sound suddenly degrades and distorts really badly. Once this happens I am forced to exit and re-open Live.

The IK Stealth Plug works fine, as does my Amplitube on it's own, both have the latest drivers and versions. I had even sent it back for tsting and there is no reported problem with it.

My laptop is also running fine and has the following:

Intel R Core TM Duo CPU
T5800 @ 2.00 GHz
3 GBRam
Vista 32 Bit
With 178 GB of free hard Disk

I am baffled why this keeps happening, Any advice welcome.

I think you have all the info, except the useful info

- Ableton version
- amplitube version

What if you ditch the amplitube plugin and try with another (Ableton amp if you have it) just as a test.?

How long does it take before the sound distorts? If it does and you remove the plugin from the chain does it work again?

Hi, thanks for your message.

Live Lite 8
AmpliTube2

The drivers/version for both are up-to-date, alongwith the Stealth Plug.

It varies, sometimes I can play/record without any problem, then out-the-blue it will suddenly my guitar sounds really distorted and broken.

Tends to stay like that, only way I can restore the sound/signal is to close/open Ableton.

I only have Amplitube/Stealth Plug (both are absolutely fine in stand alone mode, as is Live Lite, this occasional irritant only surfaces when combined

Ooo, sample that! Make glitchy proggy guitar beats!
