In this video, we review the Waves L4 Ultramaximizer – the latest limiter plugin from Waves Audio and the newest addition to the legendary L-Series.
The L4 Ultramaximizer is designed for modern mixing and mastering workflows, delivering competitive loudness for streaming while preserving punch, clarity, and dynamics.
In this review we’ll look at the interface, limiting algorithms, loudness controls, and how the plugin performs in a real mix.
🔊 What is the Waves L4 Ultramaximizer?
The L4 Ultramaximizer is an adaptive peak limiter and loudness maximizer designed to help producers, mix engineers, and mastering engineers achieve loud, polished mixes without unwanted distortion. It builds on the classic Waves L1, L2, and L3 limiters with new algorithms and modern loudness tools.
⭐ Key Features
• Peak limiter designed for modern loudness workflows
• 5 limiting algorithms: Modern, Aggressive, Smooth, Safe, and L2 mode
• True Peak limiting for streaming-safe masters
• Built-in LUFS metering for accurate loudness monitoring
• Adaptive clipping and release controls
• Upward compression to increase density in quieter passages
• Ultra-low latency performance
• Two interface modes: Graph View and Classic View
• Gain match for accurate A/B comparison
• Oversampling and dithering options
• Stereo link control for balanced dynamics
These features make the L4 Ultramaximizer suitable for:
✔ Mixing
✔ Mastering
✔ Streaming-ready loudness
✔ Live sound setups
✔ Broadcast audio
The plugin supports VST3, AU, and AAX formats and works with most major DAWs on macOS and Windows. It can be used in mono or stereo sessions and integrates with Waves live systems like SuperRack and eMotion LV1.
🎧 In this video you’ll hear:
• Before / after audio examples
• Different limiter algorithms
• Loudness comparisons
• Real mix bus usage
Let me know in the comments if you think this limiter can compete with other mastering limiters!
