Mastering in Ableton Live - A Step by Step Tutorial
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- This demonstrates the technical method for mastering a track in Ableton Live. All the devices used, except for the free loudness meter, are included in Live Suite. Also demonstrated is the how to manage the loudness to match the requirements of Spotify, Apple Music, UA-cam and many others. This is a step-by-step method that starts from beginning to end. Also demonstrated is the free version of the Youlean Loudness Meter.
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.
Great, finally the Master chain I was looking for! Thx :)
Thank you so much. I love your tutorials, keep up the good work!
Thank you for this! Straight to the point with the explanations I need :)
"Really ties the room together". Best quote ever
It's a nod to the movie 'The Big Lebowski'
Classic.. :)
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,
I appreciate this! Really gets me wanting to go master some of my bands earlier work
Thank you so much for sharing! This helped me to complete my projects. 🙏🙏🙏
Many thanks from Brazil!!!!
This is should be essential learning for everyone new to mastering. Wish you great success with the channel.
Amazing tutorial. Explained clearly and super useful process you have that easily results in loud and more colorful sound!
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!
Amazing and your short cuts are great, I just learned the ctrl shift W move.
Thanks so much Lorne, all questions answered.
Best mastering tutorial I've seen so far!
Brilliant tutorial, especially with the advice on streaming services, thank you :)
Thank you so much for the kind words.
Awesome tutorial!!! Many of the previous comments go for me too. Thanks man...
Thank you so much! Great tutorial
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!
Thanks so much for the kind words! Best wishes for your health and your songs!
Simple, yet helpful. THanks!
This video was so helpful! Great tutorial that helped me get started and understanding the mastering process. Now a happy subscriber :)
Awesome, thank you!
Great video man. Really helped me understand what the steps of mastering really are!!
Awesome, thank you!
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!
This has been immensely helpful! I've had to watch it several times, because there is a great deal of info there. Thank you.
you are a great professor, i learned a lot!
Great tutorial. Thank you! I will use this the day I finally finish a track.
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.
@@TheRealAudioProfessor Interesting! Thanks!
@@TheRealAudioProfessor I second this. If you are reading this comment, go and check out the book right now. You will be glad that you did it :)
Thanks ! realy helpful and very clear explained.
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!
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. 🙏🙏🙏
And still 15000 e-mails to answer! 😂👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻

that was great man thank you
most helpful tutorial thanks
Thanks for this video and all the help! You are great :)
Thanks so much for the kind words!
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.
Thank you so much for the wonderful words. They really made my day. I'll hopefully have some more good content in the upcoming weeks.
Very good tutorial!
Thank you! this was extremely helpful
Awesome! Glad to hear it, thanks!
thanks man, great tutorial
Thank you man, this was extremely helpful! Subscribing right away
Thanks so much!
thank you so much this is really helpful!
you made me finished a track thank you so much 💕❤️
You’re welcome. Thanks for the kind words!
Thank you so much for this video!!!
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!" ;-)
So helpful. Thanks!
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 🙏🏾
Well done, thank you!
Thank you so much you really help me :)
Thank u really helped
Great video! Hello from the colorado college music dept :)
Nice! now i can make my mastering sounds better.
Great video 👍 thank you
Thanks for the video. I made notes.
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.
Great ,Thank you so much for the Video !! ^^
Guys it really works, I checked
This is good stuff!
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. 💪💪💪
You can enable oversampling on the glue compressor by right-clicking on the title bar 🙂👍 And "high quality" mode with some other stock plugins.
great video
Thank you so much 🙏
Thank You 🙏🙏
Amazing... Thank you.
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.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I’ll definitely do more videos of that style. I make them as a result of questions brought up in my classes
Thanks for the tutorial, master Obi-Wan!
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
Awesome !!!! Thanks man !!!!
You’re welcome! Thanks for the feedback.
@@TheRealAudioProfessor Your welcome mate!
Wooooow,...great! Thanx
I fkn love you dude.
i tried this method and i loved it ... i could probably do my own mastering here on :) thank you
Awesome! Great to hear. Go for it!
keep these up!
Thanks so much! I’ll make more in the next couple of weeks!
amazing vid thnx
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
Thank you so much. Yar... and also
could you please share your preference settings
thanks man!!1
Thanks.
Thanks man good am
Thanks for video .I looking to get the wave form more straight and not up and down on it .
Great tutorial. I only miss the differences of the Dither Options.
His dudeness abides this video
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 ?
"Chorus goes on forever." That really cracked me up.
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!
Thanks so much! Hope it works out for you.
I feel the same way.
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.
Great tutorial! Thank you! But how about if theres a vocal in it? i dont really get at mastering
Amazing! This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you so much and btw are you on Instagram?
Thanks so much! You can track me down on there, @lbregitzer and @theaudioprofessor
geil, thank u very much!!
thank you, sub and liked.
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! Thank you for this amazing tutorial. Before I master should I create a 1 track layout for entire song? Or can I use this tutorial with a multitrack? I have 14 tracks at the moment for song... would it be easier to have it on 1 audio track?
JRUX These effects you can do all on the master mix bus, if you want. You just won’t be able to fade or trim this final mix easily. I personally prefer to have a separate Live set for mixing and mastering, but you can do either.
You are the greatest!!! Thank you so much!!!
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?
Are there implications with doing this on the master (with the stems available) or should this process be applied with a wav like this? Thanks for sharing this.
You can do it either way. I like doing it on the wav file in a separate session. It makes it better to trim the beginning and end as well as apply any fade at the end. Whatever workflow works best for you.
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.
I have Live 9 and Utility don't have the Bass Mono function, sadly... What is the easiest way to do the same job? Thank you!
What -db would you recommend the mix be before mastering , great video thanks.
-6 db is the usual recommended
Thanks so much for your video! Could you make one about mixing in ableton? That would be so helpful. Thanks!
I’ve gotten a lot of requests for that, so I’ll make one in the next couple of weeks!
@@TheRealAudioProfessor Lorne, great & informative video! I second the mixing tutorial!
Will do. I have a sponsored video coming out shortly, and thanks to everybody’s encouragement, I have several Ableton videos sketched out to be released in the next two months.
Thnks
