I just bought the Platinum upgrade, so I don't have the money to upgrade the Massey or flux to regular status, but they both work fine (I just can't save settings). I could use the LinMB and then either the 元,L2, Massey 2007 demo limiter or the flux demo limiter. With improved compatibility across the board, enhanced DAW and OS support, and a host of new features, V7 will take your Waves experience to new heights.

Waves Version 7 represents the latest step in the evolution of Waves.
HOW TO USE L3 LL ULTRAMAXIMIZER MANUAL
The Master Release alters the 元's Adaptive Release Control (ARC), offering a Warm, Scaled, Aggressive, and Manual tonal options in addition to the standard ARC setting. The Separation control, for example, adjusts the independence of each band when set to 0, the bands do not react separately, and so the 元 functions-and sounds-like a wide band limiter. While the technology of the PLMixer allows the 元 to be extraordinarily transparent, additional controls allow it to emulate the color and character of vintage limiters. The crossover points are selectable by the user. The 元 features a linear phase crossover which doesn't introduce phase distortion between the frequency bands. In effect, this feature functions exactly like a Linear Phase EQ placed before the limiting section of the 元, making the 元 an all-in-one final mastering tool. The 元 allows a 12dB boost or cut in each band in addition to the limiting applied to each band. This unique control lets users adjust the tonal character of the 元 over a wide range, while maintaining brick-wall limiting.

The 元's Priority control allows the user to control the relative limiting of each band. Instead, the PLMixer automatically controls the gain relationship between the bands. Unlike traditional multi-band limiters, the PLMixer doesn't require a wide band peak limiter to catch overshoots generated by individual band adjustments. 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. 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 元 differs from conventional wide band and multi-band limiters in several ways: - Unlike wide band limiters, the 元 first uses linear phase crossover filters to divides the audio spectrum into five bands. The key to the 元's power is its patent-pending Peak Limiting Mixer (PLMixer ) engine. Unlike traditional multi-band limiters, the PLMixer doesn't require a wide band peak limiter to catch overshoots generated by individual band.
