Ampire suddenly sounds very bad.

Tried a new USB Audiobox, worked with tech assist and adjusted sample rate, device block size, record format, etc. to no avail - sound "better" but still sounds crackly and too crisp. Also lots a hiss - even EZ Drummer sounds off. I have used this same setup to record all kinds f stuff of varying quality but the problem just "showed up" one day a few weeks ago and seems to defy resolution.

I bought a brand new Personus Studio One install and all new Ampire install trying to resolve this but to no happiness.

Help! Please!

The title of your post is specific to Ampire but you also mention EZdrummer in the details...
Can you think of anything related to something that may have changed (OS update, new gear added, etc.) at that time to cause this issue?
 
I update drivers frequently. I'm wondering if updating my graphics drivers etc. might cause a conflict with Studio One?

Gonna try updating all drivers and updates and check again....I appreciate the interest. All the other audio on my PC sound great, just not Studio One.

Edit: I ripped everything Presonus Studio One off of my computer - uninstalled and deleted all the folders. Downloaded all new replacement software, updated computer and all drivers/updates and reinstalled. PITA - guess what?

Still sounds like sh*t. I'm really burning hours trying to resolve this. Might be cheaper and faster to dump all this and start over on my Studio. Does Studio One have to be this convoluted and frustrating? I have used it for years and loved it but I simply cannot resolve this issue. The hiss/noise component that has manifested itself makes the whole Studio One platform virtually unusable.

I'm having a similar issue. Using S1 7.2.3. Have used S1 daily for years. Several days ago I opened S1 and everything sounded slightly distorted.
All my VSTs (including EZDrummer 3) suddenly sound crapy.
Went back to Cubase 15 Pro and all sounds great.
I have a high end PC which is tweaked just for music. I have't updated any drivers in over 3 months and this started about 2 weeks ago.
Maybe a Windows 11 update is the cause ?
 
The only time I've had this happen is when Windows decides to make my good interface the default Win audio device, changing the sample rate to what Windows wants it to be.
 
Thanks Bob: Yeah one of the first things I checked was my interface settings. Nothing changed (48K w/ 128 buffers)
And as I stated: Cubase sounds just fine using the same VSTs

Please update your signature (see link and example in mine) with the specific version of Windows you're running.
Also post your audio driver settings, UC and firmware version.
 
Updated my signature but I'm sure there is information missing to get a solution - Trucky, what specific information do you need to help with a diagnosis?

Against my better judgement, I uninstalled everything involving Presonus Studio One and all the Toontrack and extras, restarted and downloaded/installed a brand new Studio One Pro with only Studio One and Ampire. Sounds way bad.....so there is a conflict with Studio One and drivers, apps, or OS. The thing that is perplexing is that it worked fine and then, one day, for unknown reasons, everything sounds like a buzz saw on steroids.

Could still be a problem if you're sharing your interface between DAW and Windows. Verify sample rates are the same for/in both.
