 Mastering is the final process in all professional recordings. "Mastering" is often a mystery to many people. However, the goal of mastering is quite simple, to take a song and make it reach its greatest potential. Getting the best sound out of your newly mixed songs generally requires a third party, a mastering engineer with a fresh set of ears, one who has not been immersed in the process of tracking and mixing those songs. Many recording studios do not specialize in mastering, which also creates a need for a proper mastering studio.

The process of mastering is about objective listening, adding a third party to the table also adds another way of thinking about the big picture. Second in importance to a mastering engineer's finely trained ears, are the tools of the mastering engineer. This includes an accurate well-tuned room (listening environment), an extremely high quality monitoring path including extremely accurate Analog to Digital and Digital to Analog converters, and high fidelity accurate mastering quality monitors (speakers). These are the basics for listening and playback. Additionally, professional mastering often employs EQ, Compression, and other processing.
Although mastering takes generally less time than recording and mixing of any project, it is no less important. The whole goal of mastering, is for your music to have a national sound, a professional final master ready to be sent to duplication. We create consistent volumes between songs, we can make songs louder, we employ consistent equalization (i.e. bass, mids, highs), we smooth transitions between songs (fade ins, fade outs, standardized or custom space between tracks).
 
Often times, songs are too "bright" or "bass heavy" before mastering, that also can be remedied. The talent of a mastering engineer lies in knowing what is called for in a particular situation. The creativity lies in adding warmth, depth, widening the stereo image of a recording, and masterfully using EQ to bring out the best in a song. The end result of our mastering will add a theme of continuity in the entire project and from one song to the next.

 WE MASTER THE WORLD

 

With the L3 Peak Limiter, Waves has once again created an entirely new category of audio processor.

Like its predecessors, the acclaimed L1 and L2 limiters, the L3 is destined to become an indispensable tool for professional mixing and mastering by offering unprecedented control over multi-band peak limiting.

The key to the L3’s power is its patent-pending Peak Limiting Mixer™ (PLMixer™) engine. The L3 differs from conventional wide band and multi-band limiters in several ways:

Unlike wide band limiters, the L3 first uses linear phase crossover filters to divide the audio spectrum into five bands.


The PLMixer™ then uses psychoacoustic criteria to intelligently decide how much attenuation to apply to each band so that all available headroom is used.

The result is that intermodulation is minimized and overall loudness is maximized, while brick-wall limiting is still maintained—all while retaining the simplicity of a single master threshold control.

Unlike traditional multi-band limiters, the PLMixer™ doesn’t require a wide band peak limiter to catch overshoots generated by individual band adjustments.

 Instead, the PLMixer™ automatically controls the gain relationship between the bands.

The L3's Priority control allows the user to control the relative limiting of each band. This unique control lets users adjust the tonal character of the L3 over a wide range, while maintaining brick-wall limiting.

 

The L3 allows a 12dB boost or cut in each band in addition to the limiting applied to each band. In effect, this feature functions exactly like a Linear Phase EQ placed before the limiting section of the L3, making the a final mastering tool.

The L3 features a linear phase crossover which doesn't introduce phase distortion between the frequency bands.
The crossover points are selectable by the user.

 

While the technology of the PLMixer™ allows the L3 to be extraordinarily transparent, additional controls allow it to emulate the color and character of vintage limiters.

The Separation control, for example, adjusts the independence of each band; when set to 0, the bands do not react separately, and so the L3 functions—and sounds—like a wide band limiter.

The Master Release alters the L3’s Adaptive Release Control (ARC), offering a Warm, Scaled, Aggressive, and Manual tonal options in addition to the standard ARC setting.

Rounding out the L3’s feature set is the acclaimed Waves dithering and noise shaping section, which delivers the highest perceived quality of sound after quantizing.

  Brand new proprietary algorithm

 Accurate dynamic noise profiling

 Better low frequency resolution

 Advanced transient preservation

 
The Z-Noise Difference
 

Other noise reduction methods need you to provide a section of pure noise in order to deliver optimal results. Z-Noise features an exclusive Extract mode which can create a noise profile from sources that contain signal, as well as a flexible Adaptive mode. This innovative dynamic noise profiling delivers unparalleled results when reducing noise that changes over time.

What’s more, other noise reduction systems are limited by the restrictions of traditional FFT band split methods, which divide the frequency range linearly into equally spaced bands. This leads to excessive frequency resolution in the high end, and insufficient frequency resolution in the lower end of the spectrum. And in the time domain, it results in insufficient time resolution for high frequencies and excessive time resolution for low frequencies. These inherent limitations lead to smeared audio images that lack crispness and clarity. Z-Noise changes all that.

Z-Noise employs a brand new “more musical” algorithm which delivers better low-frequency resolution and improved time sensitivity. Combined with its advanced adjustable transient enhancement, Z-Noise lets you remove noise while retaining all the power and punch of your source recordings. The result: Better noise reduction and better transient preservation.
