Very useful for mastering sound art and experimental pieces. Obviously taking care of many details in the chain like little or no compression and limiter and precise use of the eq. Thank you.
ATTN: you need ableton suite (not intro or lite or standard) to use Color Limiter. i just upgraded to suite edition, and now i can use the mastering chain.
The evening thanks for making a free mastering chain for Ableton. This is most useful and watch pretty good for it out the box on default. Keep making them videos you guys and I'll keep watching thanks for your channel it is brilliant I watch all the time and I still have quite a lot of your tutorials and learnt a lot from them. Cheers then!
unbelievable tutorial! best mastering video I've seen by far. Wondering what your thoughts are on using OTT on a mastering chain? I used to use it after everyone online was doing the same, but it made my mixes sound trash - which is why I don't use them anymore. But then again I've heard producers like Deadmau5 use it on the master.. what do people reckon?
Thank you for the video, contains useful information. Here on my monitors the track gained much more details and sound´s quite well so far. Nice to see your approach, best regards to you and all other guys here.
very cool brother. but I do have a question: is it worth doing this process to other entirely kind of music. tense atmosphere mood. like 3 violin tracks (very dirty ones) and a Sylenth one note sub bass. Ill do anyways to check the results.
@@edgali hey! can you explain a bit more? I downloaded the mastering chain and the tilt shift is the only device that won't appear in the chain once opened.
@@Foti03 I don't quite remember how I made my own tilt shift, but I think I used this reddit thread: www.reddit.com/r/ableton/comments/9zgce1/how_do_i_diy_a_tilt_eq_aka_pivot_eq_with_eq8/
Great explanation ! A couple of questions though. Any insight would be appreciated. 🙂 At what point in time during the process explained do you disable the first Utiity that's being used to listen to the song in midsize=mono mode ? In the video it seems you enable it to listen to the song in mono mode, then you disable it, then the EQ is used to tweak the mid-size frequencies. However given that you disabled the utility you are hearing the stereo sound, not the mono sound, so in fact tweaking is done on what you hear in stereo isn't it ? If that's correct, isn't that strange ?Shouldn't the Utility to enable mono be enabled all the time until you've tweaked the frequencies with the EQ and are satisfied ? The same question for the Utility to listen in sides mode. Shouldn't that be enabled as long as you're tweaking the side frequencies using the EQ ? Do you disable the two utilities once you get to the stage of the two limiters ? After you've gone through the process up until the two limiters, shouldn't you also at that point enable the Utility to listen in mono again. To verify that the end result still sounds ok in mono ?

Ableton live is by far the best DAW in the market my recordings went from a big dramatic change in studio quality unfortunately I have ableton live 10 lite version and it rocks
Question: What's the difference between bouncing down to and uploading a .WAV to SC (or anywhere else) and letting their converter convert the track to MP3, as opposed to bouncing it down to MP3 with Ableton? Is Ableton's MP3 converter not as good, or do we do this just so we can add dither?
Hey there, at the last limiter I get a lot of compression when my kick hits, and the bright green volume wont go up to -7 or so, where could my mistake be? relative volume?
Hi, Can I just lower the master level so the peak reaches -6db, or do I have to lower the level of each tracks and leave the master at 0db? Thanks a lot
@@PierreMendola i set up my ableton to have every new audio/midi track to be at -6db automatically, it really helps in the long run. if you're used to working louder then put a utility at +6db on the master then delete once you're done
@@PierreMendola right click a midi and audio file with nothing on it, make it -6db and click save as default track This will make every track you make -6db from now on
@@Catandbeats The reason is.. When mastering it after export, you apply the full effect of what's being adjusted on all elements simultaneously, instead of additional element adjusting. That's why it's called Pre- mastering. Its a no brainer...🙂
@@Catandbeats Oh, and the other reason i forgot to mention is having the correct LUFS on the whole track, and no...it doesnt work if you place all eq on the master. You MUST export it and then apply the mastering chain. That's the final mastering being done. Your LUFS will not be the same once you export it. It will be close, but wont be on spot for the radio ready specs

I make trap/rap beats and this is one of the best Ableton mastering videos I’ve ever seen. Bravo, and thank you.
MASTER JEDI GUIDO, WE PADAWANS THANK YOU! #FULLSUPPORT
Amazing tutorial, I was struggling with making my master sounding 'full' the eq compressor trick and the 3khz dip has really helped with my track!
Same brothaaaa
Thanks PML and Catandbeats!!
Greetings from The Netherlands
Thank you! It was my first attempt to master and your tutorial was very helpful. My track sounds way better. Thanks, I'm eager to learn more ^^
i had done mastered my 3 song with this PML and so happy with the result. you help me so much!! thanks appreciate that a lot!!!
i just did the same, very solid
If you right click the width on the utility, you can toggle between stereo and mid/side
INCREDIBLE WALK-THRU. THANK YOU!
Thank you so much!
awesome tutorial, thank you very much! Very clearly presented with lots of great information.
ATTN: you need ableton suite (not intro or lite or standard) to use Color Limiter. i just upgraded to suite edition, and now i can use the mastering chain.
also its in an ableton pack called creative extensions...it does not come with live suite, but is free to download
love this guy, superb tutorial

How did you use the mastering chain in Ableton without getting the message that preset could be damaged?

can't believe how good you are!!!
Great tutorial man !! i loved it, actually got something in my head hahaha
Gotta love that part arount 4:47 "dis does sound nicer?"
does anyone know any good alternative for the color limiter ? unfortunately i only have standard not suite
nice thanks will check it out!
Really helpful! Thanks mate!

Does all of this apply to other styles of music, and not just electronic/EDM?
why would you use dithering while you're not exporting from wav 24 bit to an mp3 ?
Stay tuned for the next instalment ;)
The mastering Chains link.. has no mastering chains in it :(
Tis a ghost file...
you can recreate the tilt shift using macros, if it helps.
It's so easy to just drag & drop effects like him. Recreate it, it will take you about 2 minutes.

I have nothing to say other than subscribing 💃💃💃
Hi great video!! What is antialasing???
When I load the .adg file into Ableton Live 10 I get a message saying the file is corrupted. Happened to someone else? Thanks :)
Yes, It says Color Limiter is missing, have you fixed it? thx
Top Guido!
Thanks!
Keep doing what you do thanks
Ableton live is by far the best DAW in the market my recordings went from a big dramatic change in studio quality unfortunately I have ableton live 10 lite version and it rocks
is there any alternatives for color limiter? im still using ableton live 9 and theres no such thing :D
thank you so much

Is their a Progressive Psy trance start to finish course (just like Whitnoise ) coming ?
😊❤️
Thanks for showing me the "simple yet effective" way
I downloaded the mastering chain and it won't let me use none the mixing tools in presets?
works wonders, thank you
Any chance to have the same chain for LIVE 9?? Thanks!
color limiter where can I found ?
Quality.. Thank you so much
Hey there, at the last limiter I get a lot of compression when my kick hits, and the bright green volume wont go up to -7 or so, where could my mistake be? relative volume?
Great video
where duo I find the color limiter @ ?? im using 11 suite
Amazing man ! you are fking good at explaining, nice joky attitude
:D
Is there any free plug ins that can be used for the tilt EQ?
yes. just use the EQ8 and make macros for the high / low values to one knob. Tilt EQ ready to use.
This is Boris Brejchas song?
This is the track: ruclips.net/video/1Csq8-CguGY/видео.html
I do not have Color Limiter....dunno why...
The Color Limiter is not inside the adg Not useable then
i don't see it in stock effects. did you find it?
i have downloaded the free mastering chain, great video BTW, and i opened it with ableton. Where do find the chain now to use it?
I am here for same reason...
When I finish mastering, in the dry limiter, as I add it the master volume turns Red. What can I do?
This works with ableton 10?
my dad makes sound effects all the time when he explains things too lol
You have a great dad. Give him a high five ✋️
Super
nice track :)

It's showing up to work on Monday haha

Hi,
Can I just lower the master level so the peak reaches -6db, or do I have to lower the level of each tracks and leave the master at 0db?

You can but if you find you still have distortion I would find which channel is coming up red
@@Catandbeats Thanks!

How do you set up, you just -6Db all your tracks before composing ?

where the hell is color limiter...
For real
you need to download it off the ableton website, it is under Max for Live

You don't master a track like that...this is pre-mastering. Final mastering is done from your Wav, and it's being done like that for a good reason.
What's the reason?
@@Catandbeats The reason is..
When mastering it after export, you apply the full effect of what's being adjusted on all elements simultaneously, instead of additional element adjusting. That's why it's called Pre- mastering. Its a no brainer...🙂

- 6 Db OF REDUCTION ON THE LAST LIMITER ???????????????? IS THAT A JOKE ? :'(
Where do you see -6? .. if it's one or two tiny milliseconds and the release isn't too silly fast it's not going to make an audible difference 🙃
damn okay none of these plugins are valid or available :/
probably the worst spot for your camera
probably the only empty spot om his desk. For me is not that bad at all, his looking direction is at where it's happening.That makes sense.
@@homeofcreation no i mean on the screen lol

Your racist, ignorant side is showing. Clearly everything make sense.
