Its five bands make it usable on most every sound, and itвЂ™s super-easy to get results quickly.CHAPTER 1 вЂ“ INTRODUCTION.Presenting the most advanced member of Waves acclaimed L-Series: the L3-16 Multimaximizer, a 16-band peak limiter delivering unparalleled loudness with unprecedented control.

For the first time, producers and engineers could shape their final mixes with unprecedented precision. With the L3 Multimaximizer, Waves revolutionized the world of mastering. The Waves L3-LL Multimaximizer is a Low Latency 5-band auto-summing peak limiter, the fifth processor in WavesвЂ™ acclaimed L-Series of Ultramaximizers and Multimaximizers.

Gain and PriorityThe L3-LLвЂ™s Gain curve and Priority control make for a very powerful mastering tool, enabling both equalization and multiband limiting. The result is that inter-modulation distortion is minimized and overall loudness is maximized, while retaining the simplicity of a single master threshold control.Unlike traditional multiband limiters, the PLMixerв„ў does not require a wide band peak limiter to catch overshoots generated by individual band adjustments it automatically controls the gain relationship between bands while maintaining brickwall limiting. The PLMixerв„ў incorporates superimposed Gain and Priority control that allow the user to set gain and priority (relative limiting) across the audio spectrum, functioning like an EQ before the L3-LLвЂ™s limiting section. The key to the L3-LLвЂ™s power is its patent-pending PLMixerв„ў Peak Limiting Mixer engine, which uses a single peak limiter to control all of its bands.Dividing the audio spectrum into 5 bands using phase-compensated crossover filters, the PLMixerв„ў uses psychoacoustic criteria to intelligently decide how much attenuation to apply to each band, using all available headroom.

Separation is similar to a filter cutoff slope (or Q) between the bandsвЂ™ sidechain being fed to the PLMixerв„ў. SeparationThe L3-LL phase-compensated crossover allows control over the amount of Separation between its 5 bands.
