Waves L1 Ultramaximizer (plugin) vs L2 Ultramazimizer (plug-in)
What is the difference between these two plug-ins?

Mostly the specs and how they go about doing what they do...(loudness) The L3 is the top of the line...and there are 5 versions of the L3 , the Ultra versions just have a streamlined interface... L3 Multimaximizer L3 Ultramaximizer L3-LL Multimaximizer and L3-LL Utramaximizer L3-16 Multimaximizer For a complete run down go here...has all the plugins.. http://www.waves.com/content.aspx?id=91

I picked up the L1 instead of cakewalks limiter and I just love it. I wanted something very simple but effective so I jumped on the L1 because it had an interface similar to Cake's concrete limiter and it was cheaper. I find it very transparent so I imagine the L2 and L3 are just more so.

I also have the L1 and prefer it over the Concrete....it is very transparent.... and very simple to use...as you said... Hopefully I'll be able to move from Gold to Platinum and gain the L2 and L3....that's my goal... that's next years upgrade I hope (provided we survive Rush's 21 12....ha ha...LOL

I'm looking for something easy to use also. At $29.00, L1 is looking pretty good!

I've got all three and I still go back to the L1 for some songs. It just adds a certain feel I can't seem to duplicate with the L2/L3.

i use the L1 a lot...
on individual tracks, and on busses....
i use L2 exclusively for mastering.
it's much more tighter and transparent than L1, but does not have the 'character' L1 has

That's good to know.... That's what the Site Description says about the L2 ..that's it's more for Mastering. Eventually I'm going to download the Demo's and test them one by one and side by side.

I also don't have the money but have just bought Vocal Rider after reading this. I've had my eye on this thing for a while. Thanks for the heads up (I think) :)
