Overview

L1V is a professional limiter/maximizer designed for precise peak control with a transparent, natural response. It can be used on individual tracks, buses, or the final mix to control dynamics and increase perceived level while preserving punch and tonal balance. Its high-precision limiting algorithm keeps the output below the selected ceiling. Used as a maximizer, L1V can raise overall level while retaining the clarity and impact required in contemporary production.

MORE DETAILS

A limiter adjusts the audio signal to ensure that the processed output does not exceed a specified level. The high precision algorithm of L1V warrants that the output level never reaches a value beyond the set threshold and this is done maintaining transparency and warm tonal response.
Used as a level maximizer, the L1V makes the mixes sound louder with the punch so often required in contemporary productions.

Testimonials

Craig Anderton
EQ Magazine

What’s most impressive about the CX1V is the transparency. This is not a compressor that encourages “squashing”-type special effects, but you can easily restrict the dynamic range of everything from individual instruments to program material while retaining a very natural sound…if you crave a quality compressor, check out the demo of this fine plug-in.

I’m really impressed by the transparency this compressor has. With this plugin it’s so easy to compress; unnoticeable, very good.
Nice looking and easy to use interface. Great compressor!

Eric VanLandingham

Wow, I had no idea the plug-ins were this great! I have worked with them on a 1 minute drum track for a few hours and I am amazed at the quality. I am sold, these are the plugs needed to create pro sound within host recording apps.

I wanted you to know that they are fantastic! Just what I need for the voice work that I do. Thanks for making me sound GREAT!

James A. Putnam and Dennis L. Trunk

…the sound is just as consistently clean, transparent and smooth. That makes it an excellent tool for use in both multi-tracking and mixdown. Overall, we are as favorably impressed by the L1V as we were by the CX1V, and for the same fundamental reasons that we don’t mind repeating – simplicity of use and superb sound quality.

Beautifully conceived, Anwida plug-ins never disappoint. Highly recommended!
