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.
