Voxengo Elephant

I have had a 'bedroom studio' for the last few years and when it came time to look for mixing and mastering tools outside of Logic's own I did a lot of research into the different brands on the market.  Voxengo's was a name consistently associated with high praise.  Having bought numerous plug-ins from you I attest to the robustness, usability, elegance and effectiveness of the Voxengo tools and the audible improvements they made to my music.  The price, when looking at that of the competition, seems pretty cheap.

I use Crunchessor (powerful all-purpose compressor), Drumformer (great results) and Voxformer, Varisaturator, GlissEQ and HarmoniEQ and the smaller ones, like StereoTouch (so good), Warmifier (very subtle when used correctly) and LF Max Punch (instantly rewarding).  When I master I always use CurveEQ (brilliant design), Soniformer and Elephant.

As an amateur, it's hard for me to appreciate just how good these plug-ins are, because I've not tried a lot of the comparable tools from other companies, but as Voxengo always does the job in the way I want, I've no desire to look for any replacements.  When I used Elephant, I knew I wouldn't need another limiter; it doesn't add any colour to the mix and it's incredibly powerful.  The entire mix is simply elevated, louder, with no apparent negatives.  The only one I have no idea how to use is Soniformer, but the presets are really solid, so I don't feel the need to investigate further.

The saturation, EQ and compressors in Voxformer helped me fully realise what my voice could be.  I had no idea my vocals could sound so full and warm until I used it, and now my singing has matured to match that sound so well that I don't even need to dump loads of effects anymore, just any quick preset on the Voxformer and there you go: thicker, sunnier, glowing.

I'm so stoked I came across this site, and I will definitely get the Polysquasher in the sale this summer.

I bought CurveEQ and Elephant last week and put them to the test over the weekend.  I just want to say that I'm absolutely blown away, especially with Elephant.  The Curve EQ has answered all my prayers - I've been struggling with FreeFilter for about 2 years and find it so limited and restricted, your interface is not only enjoyable to use but intuitive and highly workable, for me just seeing average DB against frequency is like unlocking all the secrets of the big mastering houses - most of our stuff goes on to vinyl so getting the 20-150Hz range right is vital.  The Elephant is just HUGE compared to Waves L2 (which to me sounds dull in comparison), Elephant lifts the mix right up, kick drums don't get squashed and main leads and bass are just sooo loud without pumping.  3db preset is just the best, this will be our new secret weapon in making mixes sound even bigger & better.  I just want to say a big thanks for writing the above magic tools, you obviously love programming and understanding sound which has given you a great ability to make killer plugins.  I will definitely be commenting on forums and passing on recommendations to others.  Wishing you all the success in the future ;) Best regards.

Hey,

I've been using your plugins for quite a while now.

Also right now, actually.

Time to say THANKS for some GREAT TOOLS!  These are my main tools on the digital side.

Also I would like to state, that I really like your pricing.  With some other plugins, I feel that I really pay a lot for a big name or whatever and I don't really enjoy that.  For Voxengo Plugins, every dollar I gave - I gave it to you with pleasure! :)

Cheers from Berlin,
