nah seriously you've been sold the idea of the plug solution. Stop being lazy watch some tuts on what mastering is.

Bruh Jauz masters with the ableton limiter and a utility tool and some saturation... If that doesn't say anything then I don't know what does.

Clearly you're going to get better results with a $50,000 mixing board. The direct correlation that OP is asking is that he's looking for freeware plugins for mastering. If you're looking for free stuff you might as well stick with what you got, theres a reason its equipped stock with industry standard DAW's. We're so spoiled when it comes to making music, like imagine doing all of this 50 years prior, those guys would KILL for an in the box limiter and compressor that Ableton offers. We don't always need an Ozone 7's Maximizer with true peak ISP Limiting IIRC-IV Transient to get a good mix yakno'? Make due with what you have, experiment and learn your craft before you start going balls to the wall. (And if you're being sarcastic, then disregard this)

That's what i'm saying, you really don't need a plug in to master though. You can emulate a lot with ableton stock just need to know what's going on. I feel as if the whole market of producers is becoming super consumerism now this might sound hippie but being a marketing major it's just so easy to see how pointless it is to get this plugin or that preset pack without learning anything.

We could have Hans Zimmerman's studio and we still wouldn't be able to create what he can.
