Smooth out your jagged audio peaks with Waves' L1 Ultramaximizer — an industry standard for mixing and mastering music or multimedia. It packs look-ahead peak limiting, level maximization, and high-res re-quantization, all rolled into one powerful processor. Engineers have been fans of Waves plug-ins for years, and the L1 Ultramaximizer is a popular choice for pumping up any track. Use it to simply keep levels in check, or use it to sonically crush tracks for special effect. How you use it is up to you, but we're sure that you'll find a use for the Waves L1 Ultramaximizer on just about every project. For Waves' 25th Anniversary edition of this venerable plug-in, you can choose between Legacy and Modern interfaces and take advantage of upgrades that include Double Precision bit resolution processing; True Peak domain setting, which eliminates inter-sample clipping; and Automatic Release Control, which auto-adjusts release time.
Precise dynamics control
L1 gives you the versatility of two plug-in components: L1 Limiter and L1+ Ultramaximizer. Under the hood, L1's Increased Digital Resolution (IDR) dither (with noise shaping) yields ultra-clean output; its double-precision bit resolution processing is spec'd up to 24bit/192kHz. You have control over input gain, threshold, output ceiling, and release time for precise sonic sculpting. Input, output, and attenuation meters — along with a peak hold indicator — let you know exactly what's going on with your signal, while the potent IDR quantize, dither, and shaping controls ensure an optimized end result.
