Treat mastering as a different process that should be done on its own and by someone other than yourself (assuming you want the best possible result). Some people will want to do mastering directly in their project and will put mastering plugins on the master channel, but I really insist that you should not do that.
However, I like to use a utility plugin there for sometimes adjusting the gain, for instance., So if you put your effects on the master, move them to your mixbus and leave the master empty. One of the advantages you will benefit from is better control of your workflow, easy A/B comparisons with other tracks, and to see how your final mix is really turning out. One thing I’ve discovered while following mixing classes with other mentors is they use a channel they’ll call the mix bus and will route their signal to that channel in the end. it might enhance your workflow as you’ll use the master channel simply for deciding at what output you want to bounce your music (ex. While you don’t absolutely need to do it that way, it’s good to know how. Is there another way to use the master channel? In Ableton Live, many people will use the Master channel as their mix bus it’s where all your elements mix in the end. Let’s keep it simple, it’s the last channel you’ll use on your DAW where all channels/groups/sends/AUX will point. So let’s clarify a few things and hopefully some of these tricks will be helpful.
I’ve seen some memes where engineers are mocking people that aren’t using a mix bus, but in reality I can tell you that some of the best mixes I’ve heard were made by people that were still learning. If you’ve been trained in audio engineering, you’re likely to be familiar with the term. I often see confusion about the definition of a mix bus (not to be confused with the amazing DAW Mixbus by Harrison) and how a mix bus works. In this post I’ll offer some tips on setting up a mix bus for use in your projects but first we should clarify what a mix bus actually does.
