MASTER — the last 1 dB, not the first
=====================================
Only touch this after the four chains above are done.

1. Corrective EQ         no more than 1 dB anywhere; usually a 30 Hz high-pass only
2. Glue compressor       2:1, slow attack, 0.5-1 dB gain reduction, mix 40% if available
3. Optional saturation   2% drive for density
4. Limiter               ceiling -1.0 dBTP, aim for -14 LUFS integrated for streaming
5. Reference             A/B against a commercial track at matched loudness, every time

Cubase: Frequency -> Compressor -> Maximizer, Supervision for LUFS.
FL Studio: Fruity Parametric EQ 2 -> Fruity Limiter -> Wave Candy / Youlean for LUFS.
Ableton: EQ Eight -> Glue Compressor -> Limiter, Live's own LUFS meter on the master.
