Waves L3 Multimaximizer

Description

paragraph: There’s a reason why the L3 Multimaximizer has been the choice of top mastering engineers for over a decade: It artfully merges five-band parametric equalization, linear-phase crossovers, transparent dynamics control, and bit-resolution conversion into an exemplary mastering chain.

,
paragraph: Based on Waves’ proprietary Peak Limiting Mixer™ technology, this plugin’s deep level of control for dynamics and frequency response lets you take your master wherever you want it to go.

heading: Maximization with a Natural Sound,
paragraph: Unlike conventional multiband limiters, Waves’ Peak Limiting Mixer technology treats the five bands as part of an integrated whole, and distributes attenuation in each band as needed. The result: level and clarity.

,
heading: Intelligent, Adaptive Release,
paragraph: Adaptive release algorithms, and a choice of release profiles, allow choosing the character that best suits your needs—from transparent to aggressive—without pumping, breathing, or other artifacts.

,
heading: EQ: The Big Advantage,
paragraph: The linear phase crossovers provide freedom from phase distortion, a transparent high end, and exceptional sonic accuracy. This is why engineers use the L3 Multimaximizer as much for its equalization as for its dynamics control.

,
heading: Shape Psychoacoustics with Separation,
paragraph: Separate the bands for maximum isolation, or reduce separation so energy from one band can influence adjacent bands. You can even eliminate separation entirely, for conversion to a wideband limiter with linear-phase EQ.

,
heading: Digital Release-Ready,
paragraph: With 2 dithering options, 3 noise-shaping algorithms, and conversion to 16, 18, 20, 22, or 24-bit resolution, the Increased Digital Resolution (IDR) section provides high-quality preparation for digital releases.

,
heading: Simplified and Low-Latency Versions,
paragraph: Alongside the full L3 plugin, the Waves catalog also includes the L3 Ultramaximizer plugin with simplified controls, and the live mixing-friendly “LL” (low-latency) versions of both the Multimaximizer and the Ultramaximizer.
