I've just discovered the Peaking HRM option in GlissEQ. Wow. I was working with some difficult acoustic guitar tracks. These had some harsh frequencies due to room modes and recording in an untreated space. I've since treated my room and have learned better how to track. So now I hear all these problems on my older tracks. Ever time I've tried to fix these tracks by EQing the harsh upper-mid-range, it just takes the life out of the guitar. Rather than re-record these old tracks (what I should probably do someday), I used the Peaking HRM feature of GlissEQ. Really amazing, I was able to dramatically improve the tracks, take out the harsh frequencies but leave the body of the track in place. I'm knocked out how deep I could cut without dulling the sound. As I improve my tracking and mixing, I'll be using this in much more subtle ways. I've also found Peaking HRM to be great when used very gently to soften the mid-range harshness and low end mud that inevitably builds up at the mix level.

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.

Hi Voxengo folks! I just wanted to say thanks for the free stuff. I've been using your EssEQ, TubeAmp, TempoDelay (LOVE this one), and StereoTouch for a while now. I'm a VST 'hobbyist' who plays with this stuff for fun when I get a bit of spare time, but I'll never make any money from my 'tracks', I just enjoy playing for fun. Because of the free tools from people like you, I've been able to learn about things I always thought would be out of my reach - like mastering, synth programming, etc. I love all of this knowledge, and the ability to use my computer for stuff like this, and again, it's thanks to the amazing talent and generosity of people like you! I wouldn't be able to get involved in this world and learn this stuff if I had to pay for the commercial products, because I can't afford them and it's not a priority to me. Anyway, this is becoming a long message! I just wanted to say a big 'thanks', you have honestly played a part in changing my world.
