I am a 31-year-old musician that has been singing and playing guitar for 17 years. My two brothers and a lifelong friend have been writing and performing music together for over 10 years. We have gone to local studios and paid tons of money only to be rushed, overcharged, and unhappy with the end result of our music. Therefore, we decided to record our latest efforts ourselves. I studied, researched, practiced, and sought advice from several forums. I was happy with everything about our project, exept my vocals. They just sounded "dry" and "metallic". I couldn't put my finger on it, but my vocals sounded very weak next to our music (we play alternative rock...think Coheed and Cambria meets The Mars Volta). The Warmifier paired with the Voxformer is an absolutely astounding solution. My vocals sound rich, warm, and polished. Believe me, I've tried several plug-ins (compressors, EQ's, Modulators, etc., etc.) with less than satisfying results (glitches, poor quality, system crashes, you name it) but these two Voxengo plug-ins are an instant fix. I really am surprised at the difference this plug-in makes. It's almost imperceptable....very subtle, but definately there! Extremely easy to use.....I use two presets that come with the plug-ins "Warmer and Richer" on the Warmifier and "Smooth as Silk" on the Voxformer. I will be posting this on the Voxformer page as well. Thanks Voxengo.....

I've been looking for the correct, yet warm "jazz mono" mid/side split proc for as far as i can remember, and when i tried the MSED (even in Inline mode, let alone its encoder/decorder split features) it blew me away, there's something in its re-summing algorithm that makes it sound much "warmer" than any other M/S sum processor... so, for that late-50s "general usage" or for the late 70s centered "high pass" when i'm balancing the mix, or going through some 10 year old colledge tapes, or touching up some rare press needledrops, ... or even for the occasional VHS transfer's NICAM recovery - MSED is the nicest M/S processor i found so far, and it's free!!! Thanks Alex!

Just wishing Voxengo happy holidays. Also I can not thank you enough for the free DLs, friends & clients are blown away from the quality of my mixes. I am definately going to purchase all of the products I need from Voxengo in the future. Happy holidays from Joe at Big Dummy Recording

This plugin is essential when working with different brands of ADDA for accurate timing. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for included us OSX users in the release of the Overtone GEQ. I have been experimenting with M/S processing and was happy to see that feature included. All in all, a fine plugin both versatile and great sounding.

Well I'm certainly glad I found your plug-ins. I found it hard to believe the hype surrounding your Elephant plug-in. Nothing this cheap could really match waves L3. I was wrong. This plug-in has equaled L3 and in many cases, surpassed it. It is now my first choice for mastering and I think it shines on orchestral recordings. Give it a shot; I think you won’t be disappointed.
Quick note:
Boogex rocks
Pristine Space is awesome

I absolutely love the "stereo sheen" preset on the Overtone GEQ. Even after using some of my pricier eq's, limiters, and mastering plugins, it still adds a punch that is missing to the final mix. And free?? Kudos to Voxengo!

I am a regular user of Voxformer and Elephant, they are in every mix that I do, I recently needed punch up a guitar to give it a real lead feel and Boogex was just the ticket to a great sound. Boogex is another winner in your arsenal.

When mixing and mastering your ears are the most important reference about musical appeal, but in the domain of the sound quality they aren't enough! You need a good sounding room, two pair of accurate monitors and a reliable spectrum analyzer.
My chioce about the spectrum analyzer is Voxengo's SPAN for many reasons:
- very low CPU usage
- very fast information refresh
- clear and relaxing display
- only useful controls provided
- and most important: Voxengo's great experience about mastering tools
Oh, I forgot to say that It's free too.
