Why is Ableton audio crackling?
In most cases, audio errors such as crackling, glitching or drop-outs occur as a result of high CPU load. ... Ableton's CPU usage can be monitored using the 'CPU Load Meter' in the top right corner of Ableton Live. Heavy CPU load is mainly caused by instruments and effects.
Why does Ableton keep skipping?
When Ableton tries to process too many audio elements at the same time, the resulting bottleneck causes the audio output to freeze intermittently, creating a skipping sound. To get rid of skipping in Ableton, install an ASIO driver for your soundcard, and render MIDI tracks to audio.
Is it OK to clip in Ableton?
-The internals of Ableton allow a signal to go up to somewhere around 60-64db without clipping. -Just because a signal inside Ableton is going red, it does not mean that clipping has occurred. In fact any track can go well in to the red before it actually clips.
