Description : Electro house / dubstep track I made. For some reason Ableton skips at 2:04 every time, even in this bounce. If anyone has a solution I'd be stoked to hear it. I used a loop by user "bdenney". Thanks!

Onboard sound isnt a good way to go, should invest a few $ into an USB-Interface (M-Audio, Tascam). Before that u could try to use a driver called Asio4all (dunno if availabele for mac, but architecture is almost the same today, so should be a solution out there). Read installinstructions with care, takin no response 4 any of my hints ;) But have done it in the past, with several machines, and was always better, than the Standard Audiodrivers (try to find best settings for buffersize for yo sound).

Other problem could be some misconfiguration of yo midicontroller - seems like it sends a skip or stop signal, maybe. 1st i would disconnect it and restart ableton in order to check this out. Check the midiproperties of yo ableton, could be send/receive problem....

When u checked all this, pls give feedback, maybe we get it done :)

This is a really uplifting fusion of styles! I like those growling basses very much! The melodies are sweet! That's really strange about the skip, I've never really encountered that. Don't know how to help. All in all a really cool song! I would recommend you normalize the track, because it seems like you have some headroom to explore. I like it! Faved for sure!

What soundcard u use? A bufferproblem? Does it happen with more tracks earlier? Check drivers...
Use any DAW controller? Could be the problem too?
Have Machines with Midi? Could be a transport signal....

Macbook Pro 8,2. Intel High Definition Audio (non-replaceable card as far as i know) .
Its happened once before with a track with many audio and midi tracks occupied.
I doubt its a buffer problem, i have 500gb SSD, ungraded graphics card, and 16gb RAM.

Not using any machines other than MIDI controller. No interfaces.

Whats the transport signal?

Sounds like the Master is muted for half a beat, check the automation. if its not that check all others. it often happens to me, that i copy unwanted automation with some parts, i stored outside the mainloop, for example...
Well arranged...

I checked all automation, individual tracks and master. I seriously cant find it. I moved the entire arrangement forward like 20 bars and it still skips in the same part of the song. Its happened on other tracks to that have alot of separate tracks

Description : This is Splatterhouse ENT at its finest - F2F made the beat, the Maawb brought the heat. I added a few flourishes but its F2F for the most part. Two more Halloween tracks remain to be shared.

Description : Grunge, Gospel and Latino vibes track... I tried using my voice as a guitar by using some heavy distortion. I need to write a song to this but I'm too lazy and want to move on to the next project lol

Description : A blend of heavy bass, melodic piano vibes, and atmospheric synth textures. I wanted to create a sound that balances powerful low-end energy with emotional melodies and subtle sonic layers.
I'm still learning and improving my production skills. I'd really appreciate your honest feedback on the overall sound, mixing, bass balance, melody, and arrangement.

This is one of my latest experiments in EDM production. Hope you enjoy listening!

Description : Hey everyone, I'm sharing my new track with you. The main motif comes from a sample by Mike Hayes titled "Lament." I added a few extra touches, some drums, and vocals from the phonk genre-I thought it would be an interesting fit. Let me know how it sounds!
