Massive 'self-bitcrushing' when opened in Live?...

Post by sublimation » Thu Feb 23, 2012 12:50 am

So i've had this happen a couple of times since i started getting into producing a couple of months ago...I have massive running standalone, working on sound design and everything sounds fine (CPU is fine, nothing clipping, etc.). But then I thought of a nice synth line and wanted to get it put into live, so i opened massive in live, opened my patch and when I play any notes it just spits out this super bitcrushed sound...thats about the only way i know how to describe it. :? When im playing it in live the CPU is still fine as well so i dont think its anything to do with that.

Has anyone ever encountered or heard of this before? Ive never had it happen when starting out with massive running in live so i guess thats one solution, but id still like to know whats going on here...

your massive standalone is most likely using an aiso driver. check and see if live is using the same driver.

Nah im just using coreaudio at the moment, but the drivers were the same on both. I'm in class right now and haven't changed any settings but i tried it out again and it's working fine (just on my laptop speakers), so maybe it has something to do with my audio setup at home? The only other time that it happened i was using headphones so maybe it has to do with using the audio line-in port (which im using for my setup at home too)...i have no idea really im just throwing ideas out there haha.

it's a lack of processing power/audio bandwidth, increase the size of your audio buffer or switch to asio

Some laptops also super derp when you plug in headphones, because they start routing your shit through their drivers, with it's dolby surround sound, and maxx audio and shit. I forget what laptops do that, but it was a crippling problem at my friends house until i swicthed asio4all back on. (It automatically switched it to the internal card)

I'm having a similar problem. When I'm playing the notes in massive they sound fine, but when I try to record them in Ableton it does that "bitcrushing" thing. How can I fix this? My driver is the default one for my laptop and I have the buffer all the way up.
