I'm getting a lot of what sounds like clipping (mild distortion) in the "Prarie" piano Real Track
I've checked my output levels and they are fine
I switched between ASIO and MME and it doesn't help either
Anyone else run across this or have some advice

Hi Zan,

First thing to do is to locate the actual RealTrack file itself in its folder and play it back using something like the Windows Media Player or perhaps an Audio Editor like Audacity where you can both hear and see the graphic waveform.

If the RealTrack file itself is clipping, that would mean that it is either corrupted or needs to be addressed in an update.

If you identify the *actual* RealTrack's full name here, one of us can also do the same with our copy and maybe we can get to the bottom of this.

Thanks Mac, I hadn't thought of trying that...
No, it sounds fine when I do that
I guess it has something to do with my settings, but I'm at a loss because I've messed with the buffers and back and forth between ASIO and MME
Checked my input and output levels
Done just about everything I can think of
Exasperating!!!

Check the Audio Level setting inside your RealTracks Settings, it may be turned up above the 0dB mark too much...

What is the timing recommended for the piano ? I find if what you set in the timing is less than or greater than about 10 from the one recommended then things can get distorted.

I checked that .wav file, sounds good to me in Audacity.

Perhaps a corrupt file??

Are you in 3/4 or anything other than 4/4

I find that is often a cause for trouble.
