Voxengo Elephant
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.
Hey Alexsey and Team,
I purchased Elephant yesterday, and mastered my first project with it today. I just want to let you know what a pleasure it was using Elephant as my master limiter. Previously a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into the loudness processing of my tracks, but Elephant made it a breeze.
The control over the transient response is transcendental, and I know after one day that I could never live without it.
It's not until you've done it the hard way that you really appreciate the kind of programming that makes a plugin incredible. This plugin is incredible.
Cheers!
I just bought this plugin, and have to say it's absolutely brilliant!
For years now, I have been using some plugins that came with my DAW, which I had become accustomed to. I have always struggled to get my mixes to sound sufficiently loud without making them sound squashed.
As soon as I tried Elephant for the first time, I could hear the difference that this plugin could make to my work. Elephant is truly amazing - it is incredibly transparent, and the metering and graphing options come in very handy too.
Thanks so much for such a great product! I'd recommend Voxengo Elephant to anyone who needs super high quality buss compression.
