Amazing video Dan! Thank you so much for all of your amazing and informative videos

Thanks, Dan. I've used the L2 for years but never knew you can link the thresh and out. And, honestly, never paid attention to the link button between the two. Granted, I use it primarily for mastering, but I see how linking the two parameters can help in a mix environment. Thanks for the tip!

Looking out for more of these. This video was super useful.

Very well done videos! This helped me understand more about how to use these plugins!

Perhaps one of the best if not the best explanation on how to use and to be careful not to ruin the sound, when using limiters. Please consider doing the same thing on the other tools, like, compressors, exciters, saturation, eq, etc ..

For everyone: the song is “Reflection” by oxeye

Thank you for the explanation. I use it, but I didn't always understand how to work with it. Now I understand it better.

Very helpful, thanks👏🏿🔥🔥

Beautifully explained!

Another exception to the "last in the line" rule is when you want to controll agressive spikes in the source material before it goes into another compressor. For me often used on snares and kicks. For this I allways link the the thresh and ceiling to not raise the volume into the next plugin.

Sometimes I use a compressor after the limiter to bring some transients back. But I often use a tape saturation plugin as well afterwards to emulate a real analog workflow being recorded to tape.

Great video, Dan. I own some Waves plug-ins for my iPad Pro inside Cubasis 3 (available as IAP). They’re awesome. I would love to see more Waves plug-ins for iPad. Whether it’s an IAP for Cubasis 3 or an AUv3, I will like it.

Thank you.

You'd think these would get little interface reworks over the years but they look identical since I first touched them in like 2006. Great video btw!

I think producers are leaning in to that style bc the emulations of real life equalizers and other plugins already have that "old school" look to them. So this is like the digital version of that. I personally can't imagine the L2 for example looking any different than it already does.

Is the L2 suppose to brick wall at the out ceiling? I find that it lets peaks through some how. If I wanted to true peak max at -1 I would need to set the output ceiling to -1.3 roughly. I use it last in the chain other than a meter after it to check what it is doing.

@@grantgibbs4803 I will look into said switch. I have been trying to dial in the peak max to -1.1 because at 1.0 the yoolean meter calls it clipping. I reviewed my first two releases on Spotify and the integrated LUFS was a little higher than 14. So for the next couple release gunna focus on keeping the integrated LUFS @ 14. A by-product of that is the true peak ends up being a little lower like 1.3ish. If I was DJing myself, I would juice the gain to match, roll off a bit of the highs and get on with it.

Why do Waves plugins still look like Windows 98? Also, Waves is the only manufacturer that clutters my VST list with a ridiculous number of multiple instances of every single plugin. Everyone else manages to combine _variations_ of the same basic functionality into ONE plugin with _several controls_ for these variations, so I can do all that *from the same place.*

You could have used a bass or transient heavy modern song as an example such as EDM, Hip Hop or R&B instead of soft pop smh.
