i grabbed the trail version of playbeat 3 and would like to purchase it, but theres a low humming noise on playback that sounds alot like the ableton playtest sound. i turned the mix all the way down and i still hear the noise. Is this some sort of audio watermark in the trail version? im hesitant to purchase because of this, any help would be appreciated. ---

Hello Operate\_Without, Thanks for reaching out. Indeed there is a subtle sine wave audible at the background on the trial version only. ---
