Waves L4 Ultramaximizer
Adaptive Limiter Plugin
The Limiter for a New Era of Loud
In the '90s and 2000s, L1 and L2 were loudness.
From Red Hot Chili Peppers to Metallica to Timbaland, countless iconic records ran through them - that was how you stood out. But loudness was yesterday's battle.
Today music needs more, and L4 delivers.
An adaptive limiter designed for modern music, L4 delivers not just (super) competitive levels for streaming, but also musicality:
More low end, more transient punch, more life.
Today's sound is deeper, bigger, and more dynamic.
Artists grab attention with more than just volume - with nuance, impact and feel. Limiters need to enhance music, not just squash it.
L4 adds 5 unique limiting algorithms, adaptive Clipping & Release controls, Upward compression, True Peak, and much more.
