L3-LL User Manual
L3-LL Release Behavior
The L3-LL offers a wide range of sound qualities which are controlled using the release settings across its frequency bands.
Like its predecessor the L3, the L3-LL’s band release times are determined by Waves ARC™ Auto Release Control, which dynamically chooses the optimal release value for a wide range of inputs. The ARC™ system, like the human ear, analyzes and reacts to RMS and peak transients differently, resulting in increased RMS level with greater clarity.
While ARC™ is always engaged, the L3-LL Multimaximizer allows independent release controls for each frequency band along with a global Master Release preset control. For example, a Master Release preset could consist of relatively fast release values for the low frequency bands, with gradually slower release values for the higher frequencies. Accordingly, this character would apply more attenuation to the higher frequency range.
The L3-LL Ultramaximizer has Profiles that contain per band settings for Priority, Release, and Separation, together with a global Release control that proportionately shortens or lengthens each band’s release values.
We highly suggest that you experiment with the various Release parameters in order to discover the wide range of sonic flavors the L3-LL can achieve.
1.4 Components
WaveShell technology enables us to split Waves processors into smaller plug-ins, which we call components. Having a choice of components for a particular processor gives you the flexibility to choose a configuration suitable for your material.
The L3-LL has two component processors:
L3-LL Multimaximizer Stereo - A stereo channel processor with individual band control. L3-LL Multimaximizer Mono – A mono channel processor with individual band control. L3-LL Ultramaximizer Stereo - A stereo channel processor with global band control.
L3-LL Ultramaximizer Mono – A mono channel processor with global band control.
