Voxengo Elephant

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 wanted to thank you for giving users the ability to receive emails when you've updated a plug-in.  You've always been good about fixing bugs and making improvements to your plug-ins, which is definitely not true with all companies.  I've also always been impressed with how well organized your website is.

Yours were some of the first 3rd party plug-ins I purchased, after trying out the free plug-ins you generously made available.  I consistently use the Voxformer (a wonderful all-in-one vocal processor, but works great for bass & drums too), the Elephant (I always use it for limiting on the Main Out bus) and the GlissEQ (very flexible) on my songs.

Since starting out with Voxengo plug-ins, I've purchased a number of plug-ins from other companies, mostly compressors and EQ's.  Many of these are modeled after "classic" compressors and EQ's, and many of them do sound good.  Having said that, I've gone back a number of times and done comparisons to my Voxengo versions, and I'm constantly reminded of how good your plug-ins sound.  In many cases, after making some adjustments, I don't hear a significant difference (which is always a little surprising, considering how much I paid for the other ones).

Your plug-ins are easy to use with a minimum of tweaking, but are also capable of deeper editing, for experimenting or fine-tuning.  They also interface well with my DAW, doing what they're "supposed to do", without many of the annoying glitches that a number of the other ones have.  In other words, you pay attention to the details, which makes for an enjoyable and predictable user experience.

Thank you again for your great sounding (and affordable!) products.

Voxengo VSTs have become such a critical part of my mixing environment that I will never have a mix on my computer without them!!!

Aboslutely incredible how these VSTs mimic the sonic purity of the greatest analog gear ever invented...

Voxengo VSTs are the answer for any lacking mix.  If you are not using these plugins, then you are missing out on the best sounding products available in VST format, bar none!!!
