Voxengo Elephant

I use Voxengo Elephant on Linux (kxStudio 16.04) in Ardour via LinVST.

I pretty much use it in all my mixes in the master strip.  If you don't drive it into insane compression, it performs very well, you can't hear it but you're forever safe from clipping.  Best practice seems to be to use a multiband compressor first to create a transparent master, and then apply a little bit of loudness and limiting with the Elephant.

A valuable tool for me which I use every day.  Great!

I had looked for a decent VST mastering limiter for quite a while.  After a lot of crappy sounding products flooded the market and some rather expensive tools started to break the sound barrier, Voxengo has managed to come up with the first plugin of it's kind I have heard that manages to sound extremely good and transparent at a reasonable price.

I often use the Elephant on TV material and therefore really love the high pass filter.  The versatile oversampling options are a really nice idea, too.

The only thing I miss is a 5.1 mode....

Voxengo VSTs have become such a critical part of my mixing environment that I will never have a mix on my computer without them!!!

Aboslutely incredible how these VSTs mimic the sonic purity of the greatest analog gear ever invented...

Voxengo VSTs are the answer for any lacking mix.  If you are not using these plugins, then you are missing out on the best sounding products available in VST format, bar none!!!
