Description

 

In the ’90s and 2000s, L1 and L2 were loudness. From Red Hot Chili Peppers to Metallica to Timbaland, countless iconic records ran through them – that was how you stood out. But loudness was yesterday’s battle.

Today, music needs more. And L4 delivers.

An adaptive limiter designed for modern music, L4 delivers not just (super) competitive levels for streaming, but also musicality:

More low end. More transient punch. More life.

Today’s sound is deeper. Bigger. More dynamic. Artists grab attention with more than just volume – with nuance, impact and feel. Limiters need to enhance music, not just squash it. L4 adds 5 unique limiting algorithms, adaptive Clipping & Release controls, Upward compression, True Peak, and much more.

  • New! 5 unique limiting algorithms: Modern, Aggressive, Smooth, Safe, L2
  • New! Adaptive clipping & release controls
  • New! Upward compression

    Clean, Modern Limiting with Absolute Control

    An impressive evolution of the classic L-series that pushes loudness while maintaining incredible transient punch. The adaptive release and transparent ceiling make it an essential, low-latency limiter for the master bus.

    Never fear - the L4 is finally here

    The L2 has been one of my favorite limiters as it adds a distinct, crunchy character/color. I sometimes use it sparingly in series with one or two other limiters. Because its code is quite old, pushing the L2 hard on a modern master may cause harsh digital distortion and squash transients faster than transparent modern limiters. Enter the L4. It has that nice nice L2 color, but is more transparent and louder.
