Waves L3-16 Multimaximizer
Multiband Limiter Plugin
Multiband Level Maximization with Unparalleled Precision
There's nothing like the L3-16.
Fusing paragraphic EQ and dynamics control, the informative displays shows 16 virtual bands, with response represented by three discrete curves - attenuation, EQ, and priority.
And it's all under intuitive control, thanks to a familiar paragraphic EQ control set.
The result is an uncanny ability to shape masters beyond traditional dynamics - it's almost like you're getting inside the music, then re-balancing dynamics and frequency for the perfect mix.
Each L3-16 license also includes the L3 Multimaximizer, L3 Ultramaximizer, L3-LL Multimaximizer and L3-LL Ultramaximizer plugins as sub-components.
