Ableton 11 - Distortion with NI plugins?
Ableton, distortion with Native instruments plugins?
When using NI sounds e.g. Kontakt, Maschine2, Komplete Kontrol as a stand alone products, they sound great! But when I use them with Ableton as a plugin there is loads of noise and distortion, popping, clicking, banging?
I am using the same hardware in both scenarios.
PC with icore 7 gen. Intel/MB gigabyte Z390 UD.
MS windows10/64.
Ableton 11.
Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 Gen.2 for headphones
Anyone got any ideas please?

You can absolutely install things on whichever drive in 99.9% of cases. C: vs D: doesn't really matter, and has nothing to do with this issue.
You should have ASIO selected!

You shouldn't have installed or reinstalled anything, just set audio in Ableton to ASIO... You absolutely to NOT need to reformat!

yes it was both ASIO and latency by having plugins on different drives, Now selected ASio and put plugins on the O/S active C:\ drive (where the apps. are located!), made a big difference to the sound!
Many thanks mate for your help!
much appreciated, take care!

native instruments is on the "C:\" drive, whilst Ableton is on the "D:\" drive; (SSD). Does that cause an 'issue'?

Drive letter makes no difference at all. OP, how do you have your Focusrite set up, and how do you have Preferences->Audio set up in Live?

Just try what Mark Williams recommends in your Ableton Forum thread:
1 -
Ableton: 48,000
input buffer 8192
output buffer 4096
focusrite:
48,000
buffer 512

Hmmm yeah buffer is mismatched. How's that even possible? Or do you not have ASIO selected as audio driver?

I don't have ASIO selected!

I had read that apps and plugins should be on C:\ whilst libraries should be on separate drive "D:\" as well as projects etc.?
So mine is back to front! (lol) i.e. Ableton on "D" not libraries! Apparently can cause latency issues? i.e. all apps and plugins on same drive for best performance, and libraries elsewhere?

I might have to reinstall everything from a re-formatted drive!
