Mastering in Ableton Live - A Step by Step Tutorial

[@michaeludeze8470]

This tutorial should be an example for KZbin. Most KZbin 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. 🙏🙏🙏

Great tutorial. Thank you! I will use this the day I finally finish a track.

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

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 ties the room together". Best quote ever

[@anonymousphantom720]

It's a nod to the movie 'The Big Lebowski' Classic.. :)

[@Drumers]

Best mastering tutorial I've seen so far!

[@DavidRoden-enemyindustry]

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,

[@adarshvermamusic]

Finally i got a perfect step by step mastering tutorial ❤️🙏love u dude👍

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

Thanks so much for the kind words. I’m glad that it helped out!

[@adarshvermamusic]

@@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🙏

[@X_Spence]

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!

[@pete565]

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.

[@pete565]

This is the greatest thing about KZbin. 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

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

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.

[@pete565]

@@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!" ;-)

[@igorthegr3]

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!

[@Coachwill101]

This has been immensely helpful! I've had to watch it several times, because there is a great deal of info there. Thank you.

[@kapildattani9557]

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.

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

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.

[@Lemke68]

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!

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

Thanks so much! Hope it works out for you.

[@k.c4178]

I feel the same way.

[@matthew-tq7fj]

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!

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Best wishes for your health and your songs!

[@toxictower]

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

[@kelvincristi]

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.

[@TheRealAudioProfessor]

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

[@spiritrider963]

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.

You can also use the regular compressor on the same settings should not differ to much

[@trinibago7682]

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.

[@Ferrichrome]

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.

[@alifunkyfize]

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?

[@MainYotubeacct]

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?
