LOUD masters with stock Plugins - How to master in Ableton

With a little routing and thought into limiting, you can achieve LOUD masters like the pros without any distortion. I've used Ableton's built-in Limiter for this tutorial and that's all you really need. But I've also added a few extra bonus tips at the end that will give your music that little bit extra sizzle.

[@JessicaMaeve]

You’ve explained things so well, thank you! Keep up the great work!

[@luaismojo]

This was amaaaaazing!! I used on my loop track and it really got my track volume up! Thanks a lot!!!

[@AztecsPasture]

Awesome tutorial, feel like it gave me an idea of what mastering is actually about!

[@eazzygamez7959]

This is the best and effective mastering tutorial for me.. Thanks a lot

[@dalenn_dnb]

Incredibly helpful! THANKS!

[@ercanakyurekli]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial

[@rorkrork]

Thank you, master of masters. I used to play around with Limiters and sometimes giving up midway if I can't find the distorting sound during mastering. Your tip should be the easiest to follow. Subbed and liked btw.

[@redstrom_edm]

Wholly Shit! This tutorial brought power and life into my track! I've always struggled wondering how to get my mix to sound as good as it does in my studio. Also didn't understand much about the mastering process. This gives me so much more inspiration moving forward. Amazing! Thank you!

Hey, man, I am very new to producing/mixing/mastering and this is my goto video for mastering. A brilliant and well presented vid. Very well taught. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@ledworld6875]

I downloaded the template in the link works so well! Master of masters! My track sounds so much better.

[@IamELJohnson]

This was a great vid, can’t wait to get home and try this …

[@DaDa-kf4vp]

Thank you so much for this.

[@infinitesmarticulls3933]

I appreciate this video back once I got to about 8 minutes in. I realized how much of a disaster my songs are in the mixing aspect. I was trying to limit voices and I was hearing things I never could without the limiters for some reason. I realized my tracks need more work

[@davidweeks1778]

I wish I had known all of this sooner than two years into my music making!! This is suuper helping my tracks on ableton get wayyy louder. This is wonderful to know. Thank ya so mucho.

[@djearlino9869]

[@emmanumusic]

[@susanadiaz8819]

Hey thanks for this video it was very helpful 🙏❤️I’m subscribing to your channel I like how you are very clear I your teaching

[@mykytahordia]

Thank you so much. The first video without using any shitty plugins and other unnecessary stuff. Super clear and understandable.
(the only one thing is that you didn't mentioned using "IN" monitoring mode, but not that critical)

[@FrequencyFilthy]

well done

[@eleveneleven570]

thanks you so much

[@noegomezartal4748]

awesome thank you!

[@samarps]

Thanks man, Subscribed :)

[@kombobeats]

Yo I tried this, I felt like my vocals came out really clear,and at the end everything sounded pretty good, and I was peaking around 2 db or so on my master. Then I listened to my song, then a song on Spotify, and there’s still a major difference in sound. Maybe it was the low end on my track, but it just seems so hard even with my tracks being at what seems decent levels on all my instruments. I did like this process though, pretty cool stuff. Thanks!

[@rackser7349]

thank you!!!

[@tdavis85]

YES!

case 12:15min why two limiters !? -11.2 +11.5 that makes no sense to me - limiting itself makes quality loss !?

[@onzatroy999]

Great job, dude. Just have a question, should I export it in 16 or 24 bits? Another one, what dither should I use?

[@benwolf5264]

My man

[@st.fiacre6685]

When you say im going to limit, is a different connotation than what the Limiter does by making it louder

[@Ytrearneindre]

11:55 i'd like to hear the before and after at the same volume beacuse it seems to me that a lot of this could be achieved with sliding the track volumes up

[@colemak5646]

if clipping and digital audio distortion isnt an issue do that

[@DueceBandit]

Do effects on the groups get removed from the final bounce when doing this?

[@Yamuva3]

How did you group em

[@denialyz7044]

donk how do i claim skin from giveaway?

[@flex7357]

Why do the routing when you can just group what you want to limit and put a limit on your groups?

[@icylogyy7265]

Why when i group like you i dont hear my music ?

[@bitofahumdinger]

Not a bad tutorial at all, but I wish you had matched the volume before the mastering plugins. Turning a song up by +10 db is pretty much always going to sound better no matter what plugins you're using. Hard to hear what the plugins are actually doing.

[@tomfoster7556]

Hey Fabian, fired you an email. Be great to connect!

[@gregory7572]

[@R3GALMUSIK]

Very bad that you don’t respond to comments. You lost a sub
