Description

 

In the ’90s and 2000s, L1 and L2 were loudness. From Red Hot Chili Peppers to Metallica to Timbaland, countless iconic records ran through them – that was how you stood out. But loudness was yesterday’s battle.

Today, music needs more. And L4 delivers.

An adaptive limiter designed for modern music, L4 delivers not just (super) competitive levels for streaming, but also musicality:

More low end. More transient punch. More life.

Today’s sound is deeper. Bigger. More dynamic. Artists grab attention with more than just volume – with nuance, impact and feel. Limiters need to enhance music, not just squash it. L4 adds 5 unique limiting algorithms, adaptive Clipping & Release controls, Upward compression, True Peak, and much more.

  • New! 5 unique limiting algorithms: Modern, Aggressive, Smooth, Safe, L2
  • New! Adaptive clipping & release controls
  • New! Upward compression
  • Ultra-low latency
  • New! True Peak limiting
  • New! LUFS metering
  • New! Gain-match button
  • New! Oversampling
  • New! 2 GUI views: graph & classic mode
  • New! Stereo link

    More than I expected.

    The L4 is a great update in Waves limiting. The main thing I noticed is how well it preserves the stereo image and perceived width. I'm not going for crazy volume, but somewhere between -8 & -9 LUFS is very achievable with no noticeable artifacts.

    a top limiter

    I was never a fan of the L2, but the L4 is impressive. From transparent to aggressive, everything is possible and it always sounds amazing. There is a L2 algorithm too, but is sounds dated and smears the transients, if you push too hard.
