Product description Grand Masters Collection from Waves is a set of precision processors that can perform subtle or surgical manipulation of mixes. The bundle includes multiband compressors, linear EQ and models of classic EQs, stereo metering, and other mastering specific processors. Additionally, two versions of a low-latency multiband peak limiter/level maximizing plug-in, the L3-LL Multimaximizer and Ultramaximizer, are also available. - Center - Spatial Imaging Adjustment Plug-In (Native/SoundGrid, Download) Center from Waves is a plug-in useful for fine tuning final mixes and for mastering applications. The software allows for separating the phantom center in stereo sources from the side (L/R) content in order to bring out or bring down the vocals, or whatever occupies the center space, without affecting everything else.
Conversely, it is possible to widen or narrow the side content without disturbing the center, aiding post-production engineers as well as DJs, to reposition, isolate, and even eliminate elements from a mix. - Change lead vocal levels during mastering
- Add high-end sparkle to side content without affecting center information like vocal, kick, and snare
- Accentuate or tame the overheads in a drum submix
- Bring out just the kick and snare in a drum loop
- Enhance the room ambience on stereo percussion tracks
- Add punch to the kick and snare in an already mixed track
- In post production, focus dialogue captured with stereo microphones
- Lower vocals in songs for karaoke versions
- Up to 24-bit/192 kHz resolution (Native) and 96 kHz (TDM)*
*Accel card required for 96 kHz operation - SoundGrid license compatible with MultiRack Native, StudioRack Native, MultiRack SoundGrid, StudioRack SoundGrid, and eMotion ST Mixer
- L2 Ultramaximizer - Loudness Maximizer Plug-In (Native/SoundGrid, Download) L2 Ultramaximizer from Waves is a plug-in that provides dynamics control for mixing, mastering, and more. The software features look-ahead brickwall peak limiting, level maximization, and ultra high resolution re-quantization for crystal clear level gain.
- Peak limiter/level maximizer plug-in
- Manual and ARC Automatic Release Control
- IDR (Increased Digital Resolution) with double precision bit re-quantization and dither with 9th-order noise shaping filter
- Double precision bit resolution processing
- Up to 24-bit/192 kHz resolution
- Mono and stereo components
- SoundGrid license compatible with MultiRack Native, StudioRack Native, MultiRack SoundGrid, StudioRack SoundGrid, and eMotion ST Mixer
- L3 Multimaximizer - Multi-Band Limiter Plug-In (Native/SoundGrid, Download) The L3 Multimaximizer from Waves is a plug-in that performs multi-band peak limiting, delivered in two versions. The Multimaximizer and Ultramaximizer plug-ins both utilize the "Peak Limiting Mixer" (PLMixer) engine, with the only difference being less control provided on the Ultramaximizer.
The plug-in uses linear phase crossover filters to divide the audio spectrum into five bands. The PLMixer then uses psychoacoustic criteria to intelligently decide how much attenuation to apply to each band so that all available headroom is used.
The result is that inter-modulation is minimized and overall loudness is maximized, while brick-wall limiting is still maintained - all while retaining a single master threshold control. With its transparent operation, brick-wall limiting, dithering and noise shaping control, the L3 is able to function as a complete mastering processor. - Multiband peak limiter/level maximizer plug-in
- Linear phase EQ avoids strident highs and delivers punchy lows
- Master and individual ARC Automatic Release Controls
- IDR (Increased Digital Resolution) with double precision bit re-quantization and dither with 9th-order noise shaping filter
- Also includes L3 Ultramaximizer
- Up to 24-bit/96 kHz resolution*
*For TDM use, Accel card required for all sample rates - Mono and stereo components
- SoundGrid license compatible with MultiRack Native, StudioRack Native, MultiRack SoundGrid, StudioRack SoundGrid, and eMotion ST Mixer
- L3-16 Multimaximizer - Peak Limiter Plug-In (Native/SoundGrid, Download) The L3-16 Multimaximizer from Waves is a plug-in that performs multi-band peak limiting. The software achieves this by dividing the audio source into sixteen variable bands and utilizing the company's "Peak Limiting Mixer" (PLMixer) engine.
The plug-in uses linear phase crossover filters to divide the audio spectrum, while the PLMixer uses psychoacoustic criteria to decide how much attenuation to apply to each band so that all available headroom is used. The result is that inter-modulation is minimized and overall loudness is maximized, while brick-wall limiting is still maintained. - 16-band peak limiter/level maximizer plug-in
- Built-in linear phase equalizer
- Linear phase filtering for maximum output, free of phase distortion
- ARC Automatic Release Control
- IDR Increased Digital Resolution with double precision bit re-quantization and 9th-order noise shaping
