Audio Tip: From the Ableton Live Manual
Read more . . . →One point for all the producers out there, from the Ableton Live manual. Although the Complex modes may sound better, particularly when used with mixed sound files containing many different kinds of audio material, they are never neutral not even at the original tempo.
