I just finished my first major mix using Warmifier. I put this plug up there with the best tools in my digital or analog kit. Its a lifesaver. You say the drummer had brass that sounded like ass? - warmifier will sweeten it. Say the vocal doesn't pop into the pocket? Warmifier's vocal preset somehow makes it a lot more focused. ... and I could go on. The raves on gearslutz.com were correct.
Its so quiet and transparant that you can use it on a lot of tracks without any negatives as far as I can tell. Ok, this is the joy of a guy with a new toy, but... I would compare the effect on a track to something like the difference between a focusrite red and an api pre. Subtile - but the api costs a thousand dollars more. The Warmifier was 34 dollars. I would have paid a lot more. t.
Voxengo plug-ins have made their mark on the world of computer audio. Instead of simply imitating a hardware effect box, Voxengo plugs also address issues that are specific to computer-based recording such as noise reduction and sound quality problems that are inherent to A to D conversion. Voxengo plugs can go head to head with other offerings and walk away winning. Couple this with their competitive price and superior support, and you have the absolute best value in the music industry today.

A word on Elephant. I use quite an array of plug-in processors and effects(within my DAW) in my work. Some are very expensive and do an incredibly professional job (provided you take the time to learn how to use them). Heres one of them with a slight exception.
Elephant is an excellent track limiter. Especially for rhythm and drum tracks. Acceptional control with a silky, yet somewhat nuetral sound. Its user friendly with a simple, but effective interface.
The exception.........its not one of the more expensive products. The results just sound like it.
I have been very pleased in using several of the Voxengo processors in different professional projects. After learning what they do well ( and they do alot ), sound sculpting becomes that much easier.
Also...my feelings tell me that this company isn't going to rest on its laurels and there are further treats to come.
After seeing the Voxengo name in various forums, I decided to have a look for myself. I had no idea what I was missing...until now. I own a number of competing products, but haven't heard anything quite like these plugins. They look different and come with funny names, but don't let that fool you. They're extremely musical and achieve great results. Within hours of purchasing and installing the Mixing Suite, I have created what is probably my finest mix to date!
