How to optimize sound output?
Posted: Thu Oct 25, 2007 5:35 am
Hi all, i have searched for the answer to this question withought avail. I just wanted to get some input on how to optimise the sound coming out of ableton.
I am a dj who mixes in a 4 channel configuration with an outboard mixer, i have a firewire 410 soundcard that feeds 4 individual stereo outs to a djm-600 and i use a UC-33e to controle ableton. I use a 4 channel configuration in ableton where the master is not used, each channel corresponds to a channel on the mixer and hence has all its effects duplicated here. each channel has EQ3, auto filter, beat repeat, simple delay, ping pong and compressor 1 wich seldomly is active.
My question is this, when i play my files in iTunes or Torq, they sound much "cleaner" than in ableton, i would like to know if there is a way to make my outputs sound like this, is it a result of all the efx that i have on each channel that is distorting the sound or is there a config that i can do that will make the outputs sound "better"?
If you need any more info on my setup, please feel free to ask.
I thank you in advance, as this is driving me nuts.
