L4 Ultramaximizer from Waves is an adaptive limiter desinged to handle bigger, more dynamic modern sounds with nuance, impact, and feel. This update to the previous L1 and L2 versions adds five unique limiting algorithms: Modern, Aggressive, Smooth, Safe, and L2. This ultra-low latency plug-in has two GUI view options: graph and classic. It supports AU, AAX Native, and VST3 protocols, making it compatble by most DAWs running on Windows and Mac systems.
