Voxengo Elephant

We recorded a select group of bands live in the studio as part of the Savannah Stopover Festival.  I recorded them in the live room direct to 1/4" tape with Dolby SR.  The spacial quality was pretty awesome.  I couldn't keep the spacial relationship with L3.  I switched to L2 and the high mids got trashy.  The Sonnox sounded good but the snare kept jumping out and it wasn't the same snare I was hearing on the tape master.  I tried your demo in a last ditch effort to try to convey the feeling of being there.  It did just that.  THANK YOU!

I use Voxengo Elephant on Linux (kxStudio 16.04) in Ardour via LinVST.

I pretty much use it in all my mixes in the master strip.  If you don't drive it into insane compression, it performs very well, you can't hear it but you're forever safe from clipping.  Best practice seems to be to use a multiband compressor first to create a transparent master, and then apply a little bit of loudness and limiting with the Elephant.

A valuable tool for me which I use every day.  Great!

I thought I'd drop you a note just to say that I have no negative issues with the plugins.  I like using all the ones I have and love the sound.  I find them easy to use and understand.  The pricing seems very fair to me as well.  I also wanted to especially note the look of the plugs.  I prefer the straight forward layouts as opposed to very elaborate GUI's or emulations of "vintage" looking devices.
