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.

Voxengo Elephant is hands down my favorite limiter.  I own a lot of different limiters, and prior to purchasing Elephant, found myself having to test several per song in an attempt to find the one that did the least damage with its limited features and distinct characteristics.  Eventually I'd find something that worked OK but I never felt as satisfied with the sound as I do with Elephant.  I'm grateful to Aleksey for adding in a lot of important features, features that many others seem content on leaving out, and for giving us the ability to tinker around under the hood for more complex setups.  It can be a little daunting at first trying to understand what everything does, but with a little perseverance, it all begins to make sense and then you truly realize how powerful and flexible this limiter really is.  It excels at remaining transparent even at extreme levels and with a bit of fine tuning, is the best limiter I have in my arsenal for those clients looking for maximum level with as much of the transient clarity intact.  Of course there's a point where it all begins to fall apart, but Elephant has the ability to go farther than the rest.

Dear Mr.  Vaneev,

I am using Your tools for professional CD productions, broadcast an TV, too.

And it is about time to say thank You!

I am enjoying to work with all Your plugins every day.

Nowadays we have many plugins being programmed to be used by non professionals, as long as they look good and have all kind of bullshit-addons to disturb studio computers from working smooth and efficiently.

I appreciate Your way of seeing the things from the point of music professionals and sound engineers in terms of quality, pricing, and handling parameters as it should be technical wise.  The optical appearance of the tools are made for an everyday use in industrial production.  Thanx a lot.

All the Best

Yours,
