I wanted to thank you for giving users the ability to receive emails when you've updated a plug-in. You've always been good about fixing bugs and making improvements to your plug-ins, which is definitely not true with all companies. I've also always been impressed with how well organized your website is.
Yours were some of the first 3rd party plug-ins I purchased, after trying out the free plug-ins you generously made available. I consistently use the Voxformer (a wonderful all-in-one vocal processor, but works great for bass & drums too), the Elephant (I always use it for limiting on the Main Out bus) and the GlissEQ (very flexible) on my songs.
Since starting out with Voxengo plug-ins, I've purchased a number of plug-ins from other companies, mostly compressors and EQ's. Many of these are modeled after "classic" compressors and EQ's, and many of them do sound good. Having said that, I've gone back a number of times and done comparisons to my Voxengo versions, and I'm constantly reminded of how good your plug-ins sound. In many cases, after making some adjustments, I don't hear a significant difference (which is always a little surprising, considering how much I paid for the other ones).
Your plug-ins are easy to use with a minimum of tweaking, but are also capable of deeper editing, for experimenting or fine-tuning. They also interface well with my DAW, doing what they're "supposed to do", without many of the annoying glitches that a number of the other ones have. In other words, you pay attention to the details, which makes for an enjoyable and predictable user experience.
Thank you again for your great sounding (and affordable!) products.
Tom CahoonThis last week, I upgraded one of my computers from Windows XP to Win7. I did this by completely reformatting my partition, and installing everything from scratch.
When it came time to install and authorize all my Voxengo plugs, I was delighted to find something no regular user encounters on a day to day basis - that there is a means to authorize all my licensed Voxengos in a single action. That is some very clever and very considerate programming, and greatly appreciated by someone faced with the tedious task of installing and authorizing dozens of programs and plugins.
Voxengo plugins are an integral part of my working process now, and just about everything I turn out has been touched in one way or another by your work. Thanks very much for the great sound, and the little touches that are the product of great programming.
