L3-LL User Manual

Chapter 2 – Quickstart Guide

We recommend reading this manual to get the most out of the L3-LL. However, for a quick start to setting up the L3-LL on your audio, follow these steps:

1.Insert the L3-LL Multimaximizer into your project, preferably as the last processor on the master buss with no subsequent gain adjustment.

2.Play your audio, selecting a loop with a high RMS level.

3.Select the Threshold/Out Ceiling Link control, located between the Input and Output meters, and drag downward while watching the Attenuation meter.

4.Once the Attenuation meter registers gain reduction, listen carefully and continue to drag downward until you hear degradation, distortion, or a reduction in level.

5.At this point, stop, and drag upward until the output sound is free of such degradations.

6.Set the Out Ceiling control to -0.2dBfs.

7.Set the IDR Quantize factor to match your designated medium.

8.Process your audio.
