01 / Before you touch a knob
Load it.
Zero spend.
Already finished.
Stock devices, sequenced and gain-staged the way I finish my own records. The rack carries the decisions; the macros carry the taste.
01
Clean
Low cut and corrective EQ tighten the mix before anything else.
02
Glue
Bus compression holds the record together.
03
Width
Mono-maker for a solid low end, widener for the top.
04
Loud
Limiter to competitive loudness, controlled from one macro.
Load
Drop the chain on your master bus, on a finished mix peaking around -6 dBFS.
Set loudness
Bring the Limiter macro up to your genre's target, then check true peak.
Shape
Lows, Mids, Air, Glue, Width: small moves, compared at matched volume.
02 / 8 macros
One knob.
One decision.
Each macro moves several parameters at once, within ranges I've already tuned, so every position sounds intentional.
LO-CUT
Kills sub-24Hz rumble. Tightens the mix before anything else touches it.
LOWS
Sculpt your bass. Harder hits or cleaner sit, depending on the genre.
MIDS
Pull vocals and leads forward. Kills the boxed-in sound that makes amateur masters sound amateur.
AIR
Sparkle and clarity. Pro-level high-end without harshness.
GLUE
The macro that makes a mix sound finished. Compresses everything into one cohesive record.
MONO-MKR
Control which frequencies stay mono. Club-ready low end. No phase issues on big systems.
WIDENER
Expand the stereo field without breaking mono compatibility.
LIMITER
Push to commercial loudness without crushing dynamics.
03 / Signal flow
The exact
chain.
Master bus, in to out, in order. Sequenced and gain-staged through hundreds of releases.

06 / The alternatives
Three other ways
to a finished master.
| Build it yourself | AI mastering | Hire an engineer | This chain | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost | Free, plus years | ~$10 to $25 a month, forever | $97 per song (my Stereo Mastering) | $29 once |
| Time per master | Hours | Seconds | Days of turnaround | Minutes |
| Control | Total, slowly | A few presets | Through revisions | Every stage + macros |
| Same sound every release | Depends on the day | Same algorithm | Per song | Yes |
Want me to master it instead? Stereo mastering is a service I run personally.

Before you buy.
Do I need any paid plugins?
+
No. The chain is built entirely from Ableton's stock plugins. If you have Live 10 Standard or Suite, you have everything required.
Does it work on Live 11 and Live 12?
+
Yes. Built and tested on Live 10 through Live 12.
Can I tweak the macros, or am I locked in?
+
Tweak everything. The macros are pre-mapped to sensible ranges, but every plugin underneath is fully editable. Use the defaults, then adjust to taste.
Will it work on my genre?
+
Built on house, melodic bass, future bass, D&B, and electronic-pop. Producers have used it across hip-hop, indie, and cinematic with small macro adjustments.
Should I just buy the bundle instead?
+
If there's any chance you'll want a different sound — analog color, console character, transparent precision — yes. The bundle is $89 for all five chains plus lifetime updates — $85 less than buying every build separately. This stock Ableton single is right when a clean, zero-extra-spend master is all you're after.
Refund policy?
+
All sales final. Due to the nature of digital products, once the download has been delivered we can't issue refunds. Email me before buying if you have any questions about fit.
Do I get future updates?
+
Yes. Every refinement to the chain ships to you for free. One purchase, lifetime updates.
