Voxengo - Sound with a Soul
Professional VST PlugIns and
AU PlugIns

Voxengo Elephant update version 3.6 is now available for download.  Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications, available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats, for Mac OS X and Windows computers.

Version 3.6 update includes the following changes:

• Real-time gain reduction and waveform graphs implemented.
• Mid/side and side-chain routing presets now appear dimmed to reduce confusion.
• Parameter automation on AU Mac OS X now shows real parameter values.
• Preset "update" function implemented in the preset manager.
• The "VST Function Sync" global switch was added that fixes crashes in some hosts (i.e.  Tracktion).
• "Density mode" implemented in level meters.
• Occasional extreme CPU overloads eliminated at the expense of average increased CPU load.
• "Pure+3" output metering mode's peak indicator is now 3 dB lower.
• "Pure" and "Pure+3" metering modes are now known as "dBFS" and "dBFS+3" modes, respectively.
• The "No Multi-Channel Operation" global switch was added that fixes incompatibility with some non-VST2.3 compliant VST hosts.
• DC filter parameters are now specified for all channel groups to avoid phasing problems.
• The "Show All Channel Meters" routing switch added.
• Statistics "reset" function now resets statistics of all channels correctly.
• A minor issue fixed in the dithering stage.

Elephant is a highly competitive plug-in for mastering applications: it features a variety of limiter modes that can be deeply customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools.  Elephant's built-in linear-phase oversampling is a new standard in quality peak limiting and loudness maximization.  Elephant limiter can be used for mixing and mastering of both stereo and multi-channel music and sound material, at any standard sample rate.

Elephant features:

• Transparent signal limiting action
• Optional release stage
• Multi-channel processing
• Up to 8x linear-phase oversampling
• Undo/redo history
• 22-millisecond processing latency
• 10 predefined limiter modes
• Noise-shaped bit-depth converter
• Internal channel routing
• 64-bit floating point processing
• A/B comparisons
• Limiter mode editor
• DC offset removal filter
• Channel grouping
• Preset manager
• Contextual hint messages

Voxengo Elephant is available for purchase on-line for USD 129.95.  Voxengo Elephant demo can be downloaded at the Voxengo web site: http://www.voxengo.com/

The gain reduction graph is a nice touch.
I like!

Thanks for your feedback!  We'll try to make the graph run smoother in some future update.

Being able to see the output waveform in Elephant (my last plug-in in the chain) is invaluable...thanks!

It would be nice touch if you could make the graph window re-sizable.  I already have the plug-in scaled to 50% and the graph seems huge by comparison.

thanks for this update!

You are welcome!

I'll think about making the Graph window resizable.
