Thanks so much for the HarmoniEQ update. It sounds amazing. I'm finally getting the sounds on my songs that I've been trying to get for years. I use it in my mastering chain. It gives me a airy presence that's not harsh. The compressed settings are just great. They give me a smoothness that I've been looking for for my solo classical guitar pieces that have been difficult in the past.
The mastering chain I've been using recently, all Voxengo, is Tapebus, CurveEQ, Polysquasher (also a great update-wow!), HarmoniEQ, Elephant. I've been having a lot of success with that combo but I'm wondering if you have any suggestions or feedback about it. Thanks for your great work.
Pete Devine (posted on forum)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.
Tom CahoonI just bought this plugin, and have to say it's absolutely brilliant!
For years now, I have been using some plugins that came with my DAW, which I had become accustomed to. I have always struggled to get my mixes to sound sufficiently loud without making them sound squashed.
As soon as I tried Elephant for the first time, I could hear the difference that this plugin could make to my work. Elephant is truly amazing - it is incredibly transparent, and the metering and graphing options come in very handy too.
Thanks so much for such a great product! I'd recommend Voxengo Elephant to anyone who needs super high quality buss compression.
