    Description:
    Setting up a basic powerful mastering chain with Ableton built-in audio effects / free download
    Let's try to set up a powerful mastering chain in Ableton with the goal of only using built-in audio effects. When “mastering” on this basic level, we are trying to accomplish 3 things: balancing the mix, cleaning up the resonance and adding loudness (punch) to the track. Of course, there are different definitions of mastering and many philosophies on the order of your effects used. For example, one could perfectly argue, that the multiband dynamics should go in front of the Glue compressor. But let's go ahead and lay down our chain as we are using it inside of the video tutorial:
    EQ8: This EQ is operating in mid-side mode. We are cutting out frequencies below 100hz on the side and freqs below 35 Hz in the mids. That way we have a clean low cut and our bass is operating in mono
    Glue compressor: We are catching some of the peaks over the entire frequency range
    EQ8: We are flattening our some unwanted resonance
    Multiband Dynamics: We are balancing the low, mid and highs with 3-band multiband compression
    Compressor: We are adding punch to the mix, emphasizing the dynamics
    Compressor: We are flattening out the mix a little bit (in order to be able to make the sum louder in the end)
    EQ8: Final touches, we are pulling up the bass a bit and adding a little bit of brilliance in the top end
    Limiter: We are increasing the loudness of the sum of our track. Note: don’t push it too far, Ableton’s limiter starts distorting the sound quite quickly.

    • @dan_goul
      @dan_goul 7 лет назад

      Fairly sure most mastering engineers will cringe at the thought of adding effects onto the master channel. As a general rule, you would want to peak at around -6db on the master track (without any processing) to allow for enough head room for an engineer to finish your track.
      Having another set of ears (trained ears) on your music is a valuable tool.

With the chain you've very kindly given away loaded into live9, the signal of my song is passing through the efx but they are not effecting the actual audio. I'm being a massive noob here. But what's the reason for this? Thanks to anyone that can help :)

    Hey dudes, ich hab ein problem. Mein mastering ist eigentlich ganz gut aber wenn ich etwas auf sc hochlade entstehen audio artefakte. Diese entstehen aber komischerweise nur wenn ich es auf Soundcloud hochlade. Ich hatte zuletzt erst ein Birckwall limiter benutzt der nichts weiter tut als die peaks die vom vorherigen limiter noch durchkommen abzufangen und habs danach nochmal mit hardclipping versucht. Mit dem Hardclipping wurden die Artefacte zwar weniger hörbar aber waren immer noch da. Das margin level war auf -0.3 eingestellt. Also ich weiß mittlerweile echt nicht weiter aber vielleicht wisst ihr woran es liegt.

    When "mastering" and "mixing" I turn the volume up on my bass so I get nice loud bass. But I can't get nice loud bass notes and kicks without the other sounds getting kinda like a muffled sound?
    I get what a compressor should do, but I'm not sure I fully understand how to use a compressor. I've been looking around forever but haven't found the right kind of answer.
    To get a better idea of what I mean is If you listen to the song ol'english by the game. The base is nice and big, but the other sounds are also very apparent. I want that kind of sound?
