Hey everybody! I'll start off by introducing myself. My names Steven, or New Supreme, and I like to produce mainly bass music. Mostly trap influenced.
Anyway, I've been looking to find a way to clean up my mixes, and get a good loud master. Right now my tracks are sounding okay, but I really want to get that extra kick to get everything sounding great.

So, my main question is, once you have your track in Ableton, all laid out and mixed to the best of your ability, what is your next step to start mastering your track?  Do you start grouping and export your stems to a different project? Do you just go into the same project's master chain and start mastering? Should I look into protools or any other 3rd party vsts other than Izotope ozone? I'm just trying to get a better feel for mastering and the more technical side of it all and get going in the right direction.

Also, any other tips and tricks for mixing down/mastering in Ableton with any 3rd party software added are welcome! (:

Thanks in advance!

ozone's really powerful if you know how to use it (not that im saying you dont)
try to read the manual they gave out. it's really easy to understand + it's fun to just basically learn anything about producing~
some ppl just master using a multiband compressor+limiter so maybe learn ozone, then try to figure it out from there

good luck~

Thank you for all of the replies guys! Much appreciated.
I have the general idea of mixing and mastering and using izotope to a certain extent, but will definitely be watching some more videos
