Voxengo r8brain free

As a home studio owner I have a very limited budget when it comes to my DAW.  I use the Kristal Audio Engine as my main DAW along with Sound Forge 6 for mastering.  A few months back I got in a "pickle"......I had recorded an entire CD worth of music using another DAW.  When I tried to load it into KAE it sounded like the band was on speed!  I needed 48k but everything was recorded at 41k.  A fellow KAE user (THANKS DOUG!) turned me on to the r8Brain converter, and I have to say it was a God send!  Easy to use, small and quick, even on my P3 700mHz system with 640mb of ram.  The conversion went well, and sounded great, clear and clean with no artifacts at all...wow!  How can you folks put out one of the best pieces of software I have ever used for free?  You can bet that as my studio makes a few more bucks some of it is coming your way!  THANK YOU!

In a market bloated with 'emulations' of classic gear, it's rare to find juicy sounding plugins that capture the best qualities of 'classic', offer some flexibility and don't break the bank.  In the universe of more tweakable plugins, here too only a few offerings stand out.

After years of working with hundreds of plugins from numerous companies, I've found only a handful of offerings that keep me coming back.  One of those companies that still hold a top spot is Voxengo.  Their plugins are 'analog' without being slavishly limited to a given hardware model; flexible but not overloaded with 'feature bloat'; affordable without sacrificing sound quality; and have excellent & consistent GUIs to work with.  A winning combination.

There is definitely a place for well designed emulations of classic gear, but when you require some flexibility and/or modernity, Voxengo is great choice.  Their uniform GUIs also promote actually listening to the music!

Voxengo also has an easy robust activation system (no dongles), exceptional reliability (I've never had a Voxengo plugin crash my DAW in 14 years) and full 64 bit floating point processing*.

Dear Mr.  Vaneev,

I am using Your tools for professional CD productions, broadcast an TV, too.

And it is about time to say thank You!

I am enjoying to work with all Your plugins every day.

Nowadays we have many plugins being programmed to be used by non professionals, as long as they look good and have all kind of bullshit-addons to disturb studio computers from working smooth and efficiently.

I appreciate Your way of seeing the things from the point of music professionals and sound engineers in terms of quality, pricing, and handling parameters as it should be technical wise.  The optical appearance of the tools are made for an everyday use in industrial production.  Thanx a lot.

All the Best

Yours,
