This tutorial should be an example for UA-cam. Most UA-cam beginner tutorial lack the ability to teach at a granular level. They teach as if the new user already have prior knowledge. It's so frustrating. This tutorial is granular, simple, concise and complete.
And you started recording the video at 03:00 am and completed at 03:39 am people who disliked your tutorial must realise how much effort you have put into it to educate us. 🙏🙏🙏
Thanks so much! I've been there. If you're getting stuck finishing, check out Dennis DeSantis' book "Making Music: 74 Creative Strategies for Electronic Music Producers". It'll up your game, for sure.
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,
@@TheRealAudioProfessor can u please make a another tutorial on how to master EDM and get that loudness and that feel, vibe!!! Please do it It'll help alot🙏
this tutorial is a bit old but just came across it and it has saved me so much time losing my head trying to find the right audio effects, thank you so much
even though my track belongs to the completely different genre, following along with this, skipping few steps with brightening and so, now it's finally sounds somewhow descent, night and day difference! can't thank you enough for this video!
Beautiful tutorial, thank you so much. I've made a few songs in the past few weeks and want to release them, but don't know much about mastering. This helped a ton!
Before this, I never knew how to combine all tracks into one (dragging the file into a new one, or whatever you did at the beginning), you sir, are a genius, thank you!
Dude. You are dope. You're Fresh. You're cool. Your intelligence is so evident in that you are able to make things so clear. This was the list of Everything I wanted know. Awesome presentation. You're the kind of mind that defines what a teacher should be. There are so few of you in this world. Thank you.
This is the greatest thing about UA-cam. Once in a while you get to be taught by someone you'd never meet otherwise. We need to take down the campuses and create global learning resources where the best teachers, like you, rise to the top. Then the correct salaries will be awarded. 5% of teachers are great and deserve to be paid hundreds of thousands if not more. Unfortunately, bricks and mortar model is what is destroying teacher salaries, turning teaching positions into side gigs, which is a crime. Can't wait for the changes to come. Keep this up. With appreciation ~ Pete
Thanks so much for the very kind words! They really made my day. I'm inspired to post more as soon as I get a chance. I have probably 100 lectures or more that I can post, so stay tuned. They'll be up as soon as I get a break from my regular job of teaching, which is at least a bit ironic.
@@TheRealAudioProfessor The future is bright and the reach is now far and wide beyond the lecture hall. This is the best time to be an experienced teacher - who has the ability. Twenty years from now, you'll be able to say "Well, my dear nephew, I got into the teaching game early. That's how I made my fortune and all you see around you. Now, Higgins! Fetch me my robe. I wish to spa before my lecture. Higgins! Look lively now! Chop Chop!" ;-)
Mastering has always befuddled me. People act like it’s this dark art so I didn’t bother thinking I could do it even though I have mixed a fair amount. After this tutorial I feel confident I can master my own records. Thanks for uploading!
You have such a wonderful coaching style - this video was perfect from end-to-end; thank you for being so prescriptive and thoughtful with your approach.
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.
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!
I'm really happy to find thistutorial as a begginer producer, but with some previous technical knowledge. It's important to properly use native plugins for later using more advance ones. Thank you so much Professor. Get going with the content, I would recomend you to focus on videos like "What is LUFS?" ;D.
You are a hero and a cool teacher. As a Ableton noob, with experience of a few months, this helps me a lot. Can´t thank you enough! Keep up the good work. Really good editted aswell
Thank you so much for this, I was literally following along and adjusting as necessary for my own track...it helped having you basically coach me as I go, thank you Prof 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Helped me A LOT! Such a bummer that the glue compressor doesn’t come with Ableton 10, at least not with the intro version 🥀
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.
Thanks so much for this. I have an additional question, how would you adjust the LUFS louder or softer to get it closer to -12? Would this be done in the mixing state? You went over adjusting the true peak with the limiter, but how do adjust the LUFS?
Good question. I could have been a bit clearer, but the LUFS control for this track is done with the Limiter. For example: if the LUFS were -14, I would raise the gain on the Limiter 2db. Hopefully this answers your question.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. One question regarding the EQing of the sidechain compression: isn’t it necessary to activate the sidechain-button and select the source to get the effect working?
In this case the sidechain is the internal (audio) signal. He's removing the low end frequencies from the compressor detection circuit so that it's only compressing audio above that frequency.
This tutorial should be an example for UA-cam. Most UA-cam beginner tutorial lack the ability to teach at a granular level. They teach as if the new user already have prior knowledge. It's so frustrating. This tutorial is granular, simple, concise and complete.

I finally managed to master with the help of true Master Lorne Bregitzer... and I am over the moon. A Million Thanks.
Thank you so much for the kind words! Glad it helped out!
@@TheRealAudioProfessor U R welcome. 💪💪💪
really nice video, helped me to master my first song today
Simple, yet helpful. THanks!
You can enable oversampling on the glue compressor by right-clicking on the title bar 🙂👍 And "high quality" mode with some other stock plugins.
Thanks so much Lorne, all questions answered.

Great ,Thank you so much for the Video !! ^^
Amazing... Thank you.
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
Wooooow,...great! Thanx
Thanks a lot! I would like to know, wether I can adapt this things on a vocal integrated master or not. Regards and Blessings
keep these up!
Thanks so much! I’ll make more in the next couple of weeks!
amazing vid thnx
Instruction to use toilet paper should come next 😂 Indeed everything of essential. Maybe fading track is not mastering.
Thanks.
Thank you so much for this tutorial! Helped me A LOT! Such a bummer that the glue compressor doesn’t come with Ableton 10, at least not with the intro version 🥀
You can also use the regular compressor on the same settings should not differ to much
Great tutorial. I only miss the differences of the Dither Options.
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 ?
Thanks man good am
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.
I know this is super late but you could use EQ three for mastering or you can get an EQ plug-in if lite supports VSTs. I recommend tdr nova.
Thanks so much for this. I have an additional question, how would you adjust the LUFS louder or softer to get it closer to -12? Would this be done in the mixing state? You went over adjusting the true peak with the limiter, but how do adjust the LUFS?
Good question. I could have been a bit clearer, but the LUFS control for this track is done with the Limiter. For example: if the LUFS were -14, I would raise the gain on the Limiter 2db. Hopefully this answers your question.
any 2023 mastering update for ableton ? :) any eq changes you would make now ?
Great tutorial! Thank you! But how about if theres a vocal in it? i dont really get at mastering
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. One question regarding the EQing of the sidechain compression: isn’t it necessary to activate the sidechain-button and select the source to get the effect working?
Yea I think he just ment eqing it not sidechaining
In this case the sidechain is the internal (audio) signal. He's removing the low end frequencies from the compressor detection circuit so that it's only compressing audio above that frequency.
What -db would you recommend the mix be before mastering , great video thanks.
-6 db is the usual recommended
thanks man!!1
