Voxengo Elephant

My first album was an instrumental metal album with electronic instruments and orchestra crammed in and I was at wits end trying to get it up to current volume levels and not destroy the sound.  I tried a number of other popular compressors\limiters that cost much more and could not get the sound I wanted.  I finally tried the Elephant and I couldn't believe how simple the interface was...and how well it just worked!  I've since recommeneded it to others, one friend who was in a punk band came back to me and said, "That plugin worked miracles!".  I literally use the Elephant at the end of my chain for every project now.  It's a given.

I also bought Soniformer that same day and I've been very happy with it's performance.  It's one of the only EQ\multiband compressors I trust to hand delicate high frequencies without distortion.  It's extremely powerful, though the serious control provided makes for a somewhat confusing interface.  Also I wish it provided for seperate left\right channel EQing\Compression. (of course that would clutter the interface even more haha!)

Woaaa - I just updated Elephant to the latest version as well as I purchased the new Harmony EQ...  I am completely blown away by the Harmony EQ - there was always that cryptic "boost" knob in the old version - which usually sounded great, but was not really controllable - so I usually ended up not using it.  Now with the new Dynamic Section as well as the realtime analyzer..  Wow!

In addition I just stepped over the graph feature in Elephant.  Great great great!!  Ok - watching a waveform has nothing to do with mastering..  But I do love to watch that.  I am most sure we all do that..  Before I had to open an exported masterfile in Wavelab, haha - now I can see what is going on :)) Now that is really a cool feature!!

Cheers,

I just want to say thank you for making amazing plugins.  All of your plugins sound great, are easy to use, and offer so many features providing ease of use, but also provide deep customization.  This is no small feat..especially coming from one person!

Thank you for your dedication to providing great sounding plugins.
