The search for the ultimate mastering maximizer is often a tedious task - so many claim to have developed 'The Tool' to help you achieve that modern loudness level - but it never seems to be the case; they're either too expensive or they're simply crap! Yes, they do pump it up - but the quality loss, burned out transients and the "dynamics death" speak of the sad truth.
Well, that was the reality until Waves released L3. It's amazing how audible the difference is - the quality of the original mix is very much preserved, transient detail is fantastic, stereo image outstanding and regardless of the fact that the overall level is drasticaly inreased, the result still sounds spacious and dynamically healthy.
The crossover network is of exceptional quality and the linear-phase design adds up to the overall transparency. The result is a silky, lush and solid sound sparkling with confidence.
There are several release modes implemented which give the user a fine choice of possible settings (the automatic ARC mode seems to be a perfect choice for most types of music).
It's also dead-simple to use, features some innovative stuff (e.g 'band priority') and has a great choice of quality dithering algorythms.
So, if you're still looking for 'The Maximizer' - look no further. This is it! Thumbs up!Read Review
