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.

The GUI is very nice and the sound is excellent!!!! Both Limiter and Compressor have really good algorithms!!!!! I tried lots of compressors within the last 3 months, only the ones from Waves comes near to yours. Very good work!!!!!

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!

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!

…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.

This affordable compressor plugin by Anwidasoft performs flawlessly and would be a great addition to your post production toolbox.

…ANWIDA delivers what it promises…The sound is consistently transparent, and the signal dynamic range compresses smoothly even at extreme settings. In our tests, for example, we found that the CX1V is effective in softening transients, such as from drum kits, without adding any coloration. Sometimes the transparency was so effective overall that we often checked to make sure the compressor was active…Since most musicians are usually concerned with compression rather than expansion of dynamic range, it is easy to forget that the CX1V is also an expander. However, the expansion capability worked just as well and displayed the same virtues of transparency and smoothness…In addition, the demand on CPU usage is very low, which means that on most computers there should be little problem running as many instances of the CX1V as needed for multi-track recording. In general, this uncomplicated, straightforward compressor/expander is a reliable workhorse. It does the job it’s supposed to do, and it does it very well.
