Advanced Mastering Chain (Ableton Live Device Rack, Live Suite 11+)
Added 2025-08-28 16:07:25 +0000 UTCpolished tracks
Due to the popularity of mixing/mastering products and the "one knob - Mastering" especially, I have created an advanced mastering chain - all within Ableton Live's stock devices!
All the parameters and settings have been carefully tweaked so you have it easy actually achieving good results. This chain contains a lot - all boiled down to very simple to use controls.
It includes:
- easy gain staging between steps to properly shape your sound
- a low end compressor with one knob control
- a high band compressor with one knob control
- a complex de-harshing algorithm, similar to Soothe2 or Spectral Dynamics in ProQ4
- a simple EQ
- compression, width, saturation, limiting - all dialed in seconds
There will also be a video on my youtube channel talking about it soon - please subscribe! I will show how I've built EVERYTHING, so in theory, you could just follow along and build it yourself, if you feel so. https://www.youtube.com/@NoelAudio
As with most of my devices, I keep them cheap/for free, but I highly incentivize you to donate, if you can! This will help me being able to push these out more - AND keep them affordable for those who do not have the money.
