Review: Singomakers Ableton Live Mastering Racks v.1
Review: Singomakers Ableton Live Mastering Racks v.2
The real issue with these questions are that each track is different. Each genre is different. Everything is specific. That doesn’t mean, however, that we can’t get something like a starter kit going.
I have made a number of mastering racks in the past and most come with tutorials and/or walk-throughs. Downloading them and watching the video tutorials will go a long way to helping you understand what goes into a mastering chain in Ableton Live.
This post is a guide to what most mastering chains will have in them and some of the settings to be aware of and explanations of why. This is not the end all be all, and like I said before all tracks will be different. This is just enough to get you started!
Read through and / or Download the Mastering Rack Below!
From first to Last Device (left to right in the chain).
Saturator
“Saturation is a process that has its roots firmly in the analog domain. Mix engineers using tape would print ‘hot’ levels to create a type of compression, which is known as tape saturation.
“When tape is driven in this way and the level meets 0db (and a fair way beyond) the level clips, but in the analog realm this is known as ‘soft clipping’. The end result is a satisfying, fuzzy overloaded signal which displays natural compression and limiting characteristics. Engineers would use this as a tool on certain elements on the mix.” – music.tutsplus.com
We add Ableton’s Saturator to the mastering chain first to add warmth to the mix and also an almost vintage feel, as if our digital noise is being processed through physical hardware.
A good setting to start with might be the Analog Clip or Soft Sine algorithms. Drive +1 , DC filter on, no Coloring, no Soft Clipping, Output at 0dB, and at 50% Dry / Wet.
Dynamic Tube
A Bit Warmer, Dynamic Tube Preset, 50% Wet
“Dynamic Tube is a tube saturation effect that has a built in envelope follower that is perfect for dynamic tonal variations. There are three tube models available, labelled A, B, and C.” – proabletonproducer.com
- Tube A does not produce distortions if Bias is set low
- Tube B is a combination of Tube A and Tube C
- Tube C produces distortion all the time
We add this for a bit more digital warm that follows the signal pathways dynamically. A good starting point is the “A Bit Warmer” preset in Live. Just go ahead and turn the Dry / Wet to 50% to start with.
Glue Compressor | Drums
Glue Compressor, Mastering Chian – Gentle Two Buss Modified
“Glue Compressor, a new device modeled on a popular vintage bus compressor [SSL] from the 1980s, known for “gluing” the mix together.” – Ableton.com
Next we will compress the drums. Live has a number of great Glue Compressor presets for this! I suggest using the Full Parallel or Soft Two Buss presets to see how they sound.
You want to be careful not to use two much make-up, if any at all. The goal here is only to tighten up the lower end of the drums and percussion, and even some bass, not add any gain in volume.
If you are looking for a good video tutorial on the Glue Compressor you should check out this one by Dubspot. I found it on Ableton’s website, so it is safe to assume the information is on point!
EQ 8
“The EQ Eight effect is an equalizer featuring up to eight parametric filters per input channel, useful for changing a sound’s timbre.” – Ableton User Manual
Just like all the other devices this one is going to highly depend on your premaster, genre, and desired result. I have made a number of great presets for EQ 8, from Ozone 6 and Ozone 5 mastering software. I believe they are great starting points.

Some general tips for mastering with the EQ 8.
- Roll off the ultra sub end.
- Slightly dip the mid range with a small Q.
- Gently boost the high shelf.
- Mid / Side
- Roll off quite a bit of low end, to taste
- larger dip with large Q in the mid range
- slightly boost the higher end
Compressor
Standard Compression in the Mastering Chain
“A compressor reduces gain for signals above a user-settable threshold. Compression reduces the levels of peaks, opening up more headroom and allowing the overall signal level to be turned up. This gives the signal a higher average level, resulting in a sound that is subjectively louder and ”punchier” than an uncompressed signal.” – Ableton User Manual
He we are going for a bit louder, tighter, and punchier, but without over compressing and losing too much dynamic information in the process!
- Ratio 2.5 : 1
- Attack 5.5 ms
- Release 20.0 ms
- dry / wet 50%
- Threshold -18dB
- Knee .8dB
Limiter
Limiter, Mastering Chain, Increases Final Volume without Clipping
“The Limiter effect is a mastering-quality dynamic range processor that ensures that the output does not exceed a specified level. Limiter is ideal for use in the Master track, to prevent clipping. A limiter is essentially a compressor with an infinite ratio.” – Ableton User Manual
Ableton on mac and pc. Only problem I see when using windows for everything, not only music production but also gaming etc is that MS forces you to update. It is stable and fast (when using SSD of course).
We use this bad boy last in the chain to get our volume. You still need to be careful of over compression though! I think it is best to leave this at 0dB to start. Then slowly turn it up until the loss in dynamics is more than the volume gained. Pioneer dj mixer software free download filehippo.
![Abc extreme makeover home edition](http://maipronroths.duckdns.org/images/post/2020-02-25/-1584828247hQ.jpg)
A ceiling between -0.3 and -0.5 is a good range with .12 ms release time.
Finally. Group this chain into an Effects Rack!
Now that you have some standard starting points for a decent Ableton Live mastering chain it might be a good idea to wrap them all into a group and save for later! Select all the devices and hit Cntrl + G or right click and select Group from the fly out menu.
Now you can map the important parameters, up to 8 of them, to the macro knobs for easy use in the future! I have mapped what is shown and labeled in the picture. I have also set the parameters up as a simple drag and drop mastering rack, with room to do a lot more processing!
