Waves L3-16 Multimaximizer

There’s nothing like the L3-16. Fusing paragraphic EQ and dynamics control, the informative displays shows 16 virtual bands, with response represented by three discrete curves—attenuation, EQ, and priority. And it’s all under intuitive control, thanks to a familiar paragraphic EQ control set.

The result is an uncanny ability to shape masters beyond traditional dynamics—it’s almost like you’re getting inside the music, then re-balancing dynamics and frequency for the perfect mix.
