hi guys i am new to AR and i am loving it however i am getting lot of white noise when make new beats, on the other hand AR’S own Kits all sounding clean, i checked my compressor everything seems to be fine so what els can be the problem that giving lot of white noise ?
It’s either compressor or distortion
Welcome to the world of analog gain staging 
Bear in mind that there are quite alot of gain circuits on an AR track, improper gains will bring up bg noise fast. If you disable master distortion, compression, limiter dc offset and track overdrive, you shouldn’t hear bg noise.
What is that?
Also lowering the decay helps (when long decay is not necessary).
Make sure all your decay levels are 127 or less, this is a major cause of unwanted noise. Make-up gain should be used sparingly in the compressor page, aswell as the master distortion. Although, sometimes I find myself seeking that extra layer of noise on some tracks.

the SYM parameter on the fx/dist page (although this often reduces noise), just wanted to mention it since it adds a great deal of nonlinearities to the signal

Ah. I thought they had slipped something in to take care of sample clicks without my noticing.
Carry on.
