Waves L3 Multimaximizer
There’s a reason why the L3 Multimaximizer has been the choice of top mastering engineers for over a decade: It artfully merges five-band parametric equalization, linear-phase crossovers, transparent dynamics control, and bit-resolution conversion into an exemplary mastering chain.
Based on Waves’ proprietary Peak Limiting Mixer™ technology, this plugin’s deep level of control for dynamics and frequency response lets you take your master wherever you want it to go.
Maximization with a Natural Sound
Unlike conventional multiband limiters, Waves’ Peak Limiting Mixer technology treats the five bands as part of an integrated whole, and distributes attenuation in each band as needed. The result: level and clarity.
Intelligent, Adaptive Release
Adaptive release algorithms, and a choice of release profiles, allow choosing the character that best suits your needs—from transparent to aggressive—without pumping, breathing, or other artifacts.
EQ: The Big Advantage
The linear phase crossovers provide freedom from phase distortion, a transparent high end, and exceptional sonic accuracy. This is why engineers use the L3 Multimaximizer as much for its equalization as for its dynamics control.

Shape Psychoacoustics with Separation
Separate the bands for maximum isolation, or reduce separation so energy from one band can influence adjacent bands. You can even eliminate separation entirely, for conversion to a wideband limiter with linear-phase EQ.
Digital Release-Ready
With 2 dithering options, 3 noise-shaping algorithms, and conversion to 16, 18, 20, 22, or 24-bit resolution, the Increased Digital Resolution (IDR) section provides high-quality preparation for digital releases.
Simplified and Low-Latency Versions
Alongside the full L3 plugin, the Waves catalog also includes the L3 Ultramaximizer plugin with simplified controls, and the live mixing-friendly “LL” (low-latency) versions of both the Multimaximizer and the Ultramaximizer.
