Just a quick note about mastering in relationship to this thread. Mastering is really that last creative step in the recording process. It is not really an effect, but a part of the process. Sometimes mastering involves doing nothing, other times it involves compression, limiting, EQ and on rare occasions a few other things.
These days it is very common to use some sort of extreme limiting to get the final levels louder (L1, L2, Finalizers, etc), but many times a sense of presence or bigness comes from judicious EQ; and often more cutting than boosting.
If you are going to be using extreme limiting be cautious. At first it can be a little exciting but if overused can sometimes hurt some of the natural dynamics and change of texture that makes so much looping music interesting.

comments on my mastering. Hah! It makes me chuckle.
Ha, I started my mastering jobs with the L1 and Sounddesigner, later Peak, and never changed the plug-in... All clients had been happy so far...
Might be all you need...
I would not do it in Ableton-Live, sounds like more hassle than a dedicated editor....
