In this case the only reason I could think of is PC audio settings & parameters like bit rate & buffer setting inside your DAW that might be causing artifacts or alter the audio out from the DAW. In Ableton’s Live you may want to check the “CPU Loader” indicator in % on the top right as well as your “Audio” settings in Preferences. Prior to this is your audio interface settings too. If you’re working on a daily basis on your own project and adding tracks & processing each time, you may want to keep an eye on this CPU load & increase the buffer size as needed.
If you are loading the preset from your user presets folder inside ANA 2 after copying it from the course project ( using the “Save as” feature ), you should get the same sound each time you’re loading your project, the only "permanent " & not presets related parameters are inside ANA 2 Settings → settings like Quaility ( HD waveforms ) or Note/Poly Modes can have an impact on audio quality & CPU load. Other than this I can’t think of anything else inside ANA 2 that could alter the sound loaded from a saved preset.
Could you please have @jaytechmusic share from which Splice pack he got the main kick&snare loop, “WHAT_DA_Drum_32B_128_G”? I’ve been searching on Splice, and I can’t find any pack that matches.
The “Classic Trance Plucks” is a patch for ANA 2 available in Presets Pack Vol.5 “Trance”, you’ll find it here on Sonic Academy website : ANA 2 Presets Vol. 5 - Trance | Sounds
I’ve just bought Ableton Live Standard and used this course to get the hang of it. Great track, really excellent course and engaging tutor. I like the approach of only using eq, compression etc when it is needed - some producers seem to pile on the plug-ins with no audible effect.
Amazing track and the course moves at a great pace. I found the tip about the plate reverb to be a big help, it has instantly made my tracks so much better
