Friendly greetings Aleksey!
I wanted to thank you directly for Voxengo Elephant. Every time a new limiter comes out on the market, I test it thoroughly versus Elephant, but ALL contenders to date (over the last four years) have been crushed at Elephant's massive feet. Despite compelling marketing copy, those competitors simply can't handle the extreme dynamics and transients I throw at Elephant, which rides the peaks a lot more transparently. The TRANS TIME knob is magic — if I hear unwanted distortion in a saturated track rich with ambience, I simply turn it up and the ugliness is gone. I can retain a good balance between punch and clarity, something which is unintuitively difficult in "other limiters".
You should know that I used Elephant on my album that won the Spectrasonics-Bob Moog Foundation's OMG-1 Grand Prize: http://www.spectrasonics.net/contest/winners.php From phat breakbeats to eloquent arpeggiators, Elephant is versatile and able to treat it all. Elephant's high-quality at low-latency makes it possible to use in a "realtime mastering chain", which is essential to my workflow and makes it easy to hear the near-final result instantly. Plus, auto-oversampling works like a charm.
What's more, EVERYONE out there should know how mature and stable Elephant is. It's almost a decade old, wow! Long ago, I grew irritated with lesser limiters that didn't keep backward compatibility modes in mind, since that inconsistency wastes time. But I'm glad that although Elephant continues to be in active development, it has really settled into a beautiful place in my creation process.
On top of all this, Elephant's price continues to provide the best bang-for-buck. What incredible value for a truly versatile tool!
Keep being creative — you've truly made it easier for musicians like me to make our music shine.

But now that Aleksey is leading the way by providing x64 supported versions of all his new plugs we will be purchasing every new release from now on.
Paul RussellHey,
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,
Klaus
