Waves Audio has released the L4 Ultramaximizer, an adaptive limiter powered by their latest adaptive limiting technology.
The L4 introduces a new take on limiting that claims to deliver not only highly competitive loudness levels for streaming, but also greater low-end impact, enhanced dynamics, more transient punch, and a more vibrant overall sound.

Waves’ L4 Ultramaximizer adaptive limiting claims to preserve dynamics and feel while delivering the competitive loudness modern music demands…
Adaptive Clipper & Release: Clipping and Release settings are automatically tailored to the content by the plug-in. Once applied, you can fine-tune their relative levels in real time, shaping the transient impact and overall feel to suit the track.
Upward Compression: Inspired by the classic Waves MV2 plug-in, this module is designed to enhance low-level details and add density. When combined with optimized limiter settings, the L4 delivers greater loudness and heightened dynamic impact.
Ultra-Low Latency: It’s live performance-ready, integrating with Waves eMotion LV1 and LV1 Classic mixing consoles, SuperRack SoundGrid, and SuperRack Performer.
LUFS Metering: Prepare your track for streaming with both short-term and long-term LUFS (Loudness Units relative to Full Scale) metering. The L4 provides accurate level monitoring throughout your workflow, ensuring your songs are optimized for streaming platforms.
