L3 Multimaximizer Black Friday deals cut the Waves multiband limiter plugin by 79%, which brings it to $29.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
The L3 Multimaximizer is a limiter plugin that splits your mix into five frequency bands and limits the peaks in each one separately.
Waves says top mastering engineers have chosen it for over a decade.
The maker describes it as a mastering chain in one plugin. It combines five-band parametric equalization, linear-phase crossovers, dynamics control and bit-resolution conversion.
It is based on Waves' Peak Limiting Mixer technology, which gives you control over both dynamics and frequency response.
Because each band is limited on its own, a loud low end does not have to dictate how hard the highs get squashed.
Waves says the multiband peak limiting raises levels while keeping the result musical.
The variable crossover points let you move the band edges to suit the material you are mastering.
The bit-reduction and dithering section sits at the end of the chain, so the same plugin that sets your final level also handles the step down to a lower bit depth.
The L3 Multimaximizer VST, AU and AAX versions cover the major plugin formats on Mac. On Windows you get VST and AAX.
If you master in the box, it drops onto your master bus or a bounce-stage track like any other insert.
Yes. The Waves L3 Multimaximizer Black Friday deal takes 79% off, bringing the plugin to $29.99. The offer runs until Nov 26, 2026.
It has five bands, and the dynamics in each one are optimized independently. The crossover frequencies are variable, and the crossovers are linear-phase, which Waves says keeps the signal free of artifacts.
On Mac it comes in VST, AU and AAX and runs on macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 or Sequoia 15. On PC it is VST and AAX, and it needs Windows 10 or later.
Yes. Alongside the limiting and equalization, it includes advanced dithering, noise shaping and bit-reduction processing. Waves positions this as part of the mastering chain, so level and bit-depth conversion happen in one plugin.
