Mastering in Ableton Live - A Step by Step Tutorial

excellent thank you for this video !

Instruction to use toilet paper should come next 😂 Indeed everything of essential. Maybe fading track is not mastering.

any 2023 mastering update for ableton ? :) any eq changes you would make now ?

What -db would you recommend the mix be before mastering , great video thanks.

Amazing and your short cuts are great, I just learned the ctrl shift W move.

Thanks.

Fast attack on mastering????

Wait do you have the video of the mixing of that track?
Did you use the master track in the mix project before exporting to do this master part?
Im confused 😅😂
Do i do this directly in my mix or do i export my mix and do it in a new project like you do here?

Hi,My master volume track is looking blue in color and sound not getting out

❤❤❤❤❤

I must thank you for this video. Mastering was one of those things I always wanted to do, but found too daunting. I have used this video as a guide for mastering a few of my tracks and while I still have great deal to learn on the subject, it has put me on the start my journey. It’s a truly valuable resource.

I was almost aboarding because of the annoying high pithes of the synthesizer 🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉🙉. You did a fantastic job. Maybe warn people to turn down their volume in the beginning. Lol. Btw these chords sound a lot like Madonna’s - The Power Of Goodbye

Thanks for the tutorial, master Obi-Wan!

Fantastic video. I'm not sure how it will apply to a rock track using Neural DSP plugins but I'm just starting out so this is a great start 🤘🏻 cheers dude!

So what you're saying is I don't need Izotope

Amazing tutorial. Explained clearly and super useful process you have that easily results in loud and more colorful sound!

Thanks for video .I looking to get the wave form more straight and not up and down on it .

Thank you so much you really help me :)

Guys it really works, I checked

What a good tutorial thanks!!

Really loved this video, not least for 'The Big Lebowski' reference. The clearest and most coherent introduction to mastering in Ableton that I've yet seen. Excellent stuff,

Thank you so much! Great tutorial

Simple, yet helpful. THanks!

this guy told mans to go learn how to eq and then showed mans how to eq

Feels like in a MGS video game when you have a feed to a computer tech guy and hes trying to help you get through the level

You can enable oversampling on the glue compressor by right-clicking on the title bar 🙂👍 And "high quality" mode with some other stock plugins.

Thank u really helped

that was great man thank you

Can I fix the LUFs to be as low as yours mine are 14 - 20 . and also my dbs start at 20-40 then immediately jump to 1.2 for the rest of the song is that okay to export???? with the LUFS high and The dbs jumping at the very beggining? it stays a constent 1.2 through the song but the lufs are high?

Great tutorial!

Very good tutorial!

thanks man!!1

So helpful. Thanks!

thank you so much this is really helpful!

nothing really goes as planned

Hey @theaudioprofessor, thanks for this video. I'v noticed a lot of ableton 10 tutorials recomending 32 bit with no dither. Is 16bit with dither better? what if i intend on sending my mastered instrumental track out to vocalist ?

Can you do a version for ableton live LITE? If that's possible. You teach soooo well, I was following every single step and really understanding, only hold back was that I wasn't able to follow most because of the difference in suite and lite plug-ins available and I'm not sure if I can substitute some such as the EQ 8 and Glue Compressor either of which I am not seeing avaliable in the lite version.

you are a great professor, i learned a lot!

This is so helpful. It answered so many questions I had, and gave me a great process to begin getting my tracks sounding great. Many thanks for putting this together.

geil, thank u very much!! <3

"Really ties the room together". Best quote ever

Great video 👍 thank you

+1000

PERFECT lesson!!!

Great video man. Really helped me understand what the steps of mastering really are!!

is it bad to have a true peak of -3? should it be as close as possible to -1 or is any value -1 and lower good?

Thanks man good am

Thank You 🙏🙏

Great tutorial! Thank you! But how about if theres a vocal in it? i dont really get at mastering
