There are a LOT of good EQ plugins on the market. GlissEQ is different. Really. The user interface makes it versatile and easy to use, but the sound is what really makes it unique. I really think that this way of EQing much more musical than anything else. The combination of harmonic and dynamic filters produces a very lively sound. If I could only keep ONE third party plugin this would be the one I would go for...

I have used many Compressors, including Sonitus, UAD and many others and I decided to give the Voxengo Crunchessor a try to see how it stood up to highly regarded compressors during mixing.
I was very impressed with the ease of use of the Crunchessor and the ability to tailor sound/tone on this to the instrument. It did wonders for my drum tracks! I can't wait to use it on other tracks and see what else I can find to help out with my mixes. I am very pleased with what it did to my drums!

I messed around with dozens of plug ins for a week trying to get a difficult mix to "pop". I loaded up Elephant and BOOM, my mix came alive. I'm sold and I'll be back!

Oh my gosh! This is amazing. I have been recording in my home studio for over 8 years and I have always gotten a hollow, narrow, non-professional sound, no matter how hard I tried. I use good (mid-grade) pro-audio equipment, a quality mic, and decent sounding instruments, however I could never get that professional glaze. I am a female vocalist, and due to the natural timbre of my voice, combined with my soprano range, my vocals always seemed to sound hoow, with too much reverb and echo (and nor because I added that either). I bought the voxformer, harmoniEQ, varisaturator, and polysquasher, and downloaded some of the free applications as well. The difference is remarkable. I just bought these yesterday- I installed them and worked with them til about midnight last night, then set the CD to burn while I slept. This morning, I took a listen and WOW. It sounds like it was done in a professional studio. Most of that came from the voxformer and harmoniEQ. Now, I will clean up the little things and add the final gloss with the varisaturator and the polysquasher. All I can say is "thank you". After many dead end searches, I finally found the products that work.

Just a quick note to say how outstanding the Elephant 3 limiter is! Since I began using this highly capable tool, it has replaced my much more expensive "L" series limiters. Further more, I conducted my own tests between Elephant 3, and the two other main limiters I had been using.
To my ears, Elephant 3 is more transparent and more natural sounding, hands down. Excellent plug-in. Highly Recommended! Thanks very much to Aleksey and all at Voxengo!

I'm currently mixing my band's album and I was looking for a good vocal channel strip. I have several third party plugs and the entire logic plugin suite at my disposal, but have been struggling to nail "that sound" on all the vocals. I popped your plug on the insert, checked some presets, made a couple tweaks, and there it was for the first time! In seconds! I'm never going back. Lots of vocal coloring options like overdrive and presence bring this beyond the realm of just compressor, eq, gate. It is literally on every vocal track now I like the results so much. I will be adding more of your plugs to my collection for sure.

Just a quick word about Gliss EQ. This is an excellent EQ that offers the user a different experience with its "dynamic" EQ features. The filters are smooth, and features are well implemented, and of course the sound quality is excellent as usual with Voxengo. This plugin is indeed something special. Thanks to Aleksey and all at Voxengo!

What a great plugin. turn it on, turn oversampling up to 4x and listen as whatever you feed through it just sounds.. tighter.
Brilliant. straight away one of the first things i try on my main output at mixing stage.
bills and more bills
i heard about voxengo from a while by a mastering studio and then i read about them
on other forums so i decided to try first the varisaturator and i was impress of the clarity and tone.
so recently i tried the sony dymanic channel strip and i liked it so i start looking around for something similar and run into voxformer and i tried it it blew me away it has everything for shaping almost any instument and sound i used it on drums and it just sit right
especialy on my snare drums it perfect i like the fact that i can split the the frequencies on the compressers and slam them to taste and add warm
the gate is just so easy to use the de-essers works well the saturator is great it is definitely a bang for the money you can use in a whole mix also on sub or master bus
voxformer is a great tool to have at hand for seriuos audio engineers and home studios

I have all kinds of very expensive software, but still I use a lot of Voxengo plug-ins, some of them are really unique.
I purchased Curve EQ yesterday and I'm hooked. I don't wanna do another job without it.
What sets Curve EQ apart from the competition is not that it perfectly shapes one spectrum into another, there are more that can do that, but the fact that one can't hear that it has been done. Even huge corrections don't seem to bother the sonics at all.
This makes it a perfect mastering EQ also if you're not after copying another spectrum.
Well done Aleksey
