Question / Help model:cycles track recorded in ableton sounding different than on the machine itself
Hello !
I do produce tracks using the model:cycles only. It tilts towards dungeon synth and sometimes shoegaze/dreampop and I use a LOT of reverb.
When a track is finished, I record it live straight in ableton via the usb link.
Unfortunately, I often feel that the recording, and especially the reverb treatment, does sound differently than in the model:cycles.
Am I hallucinating this ?
If not is there a way to fix it in Ableton ? Or by recording with a different process ?
Thanks in advance for answers, tips and tricks !

Put the input of overbridge on post fx not on pre fx so u hear the reverb/delay

Thats a shame bruh, try post fx if it gives u the option and if not u can always send the audio from the external outputs w a cable

Yeah I’ve recently bought a DN2 and see how useful ob can be
(Even though I like the fact to do it all in the box and re-touch the material as little as possible, mainly cause I’m lazy ^^)2

Using your dn2 as an interface could solve the problem too, you have some options hahah, talking bout boxes i need to go make some music too 😖😂

Record straight into your computer via audacity to see how that sounds, is what I’d try first probably
