Is anyone else hearing clipping on a sample in Maschine?

[106andParker]

Trying to use a sample which came with Maschine named "Chord EPnBass," but it sounds as if it was clipping when originally recorded. Even when I turn my gain and velocity down, it still distorts. There are 8 different versions in Maschine and numbers 2 & 3 seem to be the ones with issues.

Let me know!

I brought them all into ableton to give them a look, and it seems like most of them are hitting at about -0.5 dB. But I don't see any of the obvious signs of distortion when I look at then nor when I listen to them. The samples themselves have little imperfections that I think are supposed to be from the vinyl or tape recording or whatever emulation they used. There are a few (4 and 6, actually) that go over 0.0 but i don't see any clipping when I turn them down.

Maybe that's what you're hearing?

Not sure, mine sound as if they're clipping regardless of how I adjust them. Anyway you could send me a stem of #2 and #3? Gonna compare it if so, thank you.

Well I don't think I'm allowed to under ToS of maschine and/or this site, but here's their waveforms. Top to bottom is 1 to 8.

Thanks Mussar, I fixed the issue!
