envelope / envelope follower mapped to gain (fader or utility gain) gives crack sounds distortion

mic nolsie's icon

I love to use envelopes

envelope, envelope follower and architect max fr live units.

I tend to map them to track faders or the gain of a utility plugin.

I always get distortion , cracking sounds in the peaks. Even if i have the automation value under control.
My meters do not show any reds !

Does anyone else have this problem ? how do you solve it ??

thanks !

use the line object with a verrrrry fast time setting. You have a problem with zero crossings not matching up.

this is a missing optimization in Live (non-smoothed parameters) and i recommend to send a mail to support@ableton.com to
draw some attention to it.
