Voxengo r8brain PRO

For a long time I have been searching for the perfect Sample Rate Converter - and this is as close as I have yet come.

The quality from this is , to put it bluntly, incredible.  Best of all is the fact it only uses whole numbers to do the conversions instead of the fractions used by others causing the inevitable rounding errors.  Much better to use whole numbers only.

Also, you have 2 different modes - Linear Phase and Minimum Phase.  Purists will tell you to use LinPhase as it avoids any form of Phase smearing whatsoever, but my preference is MinPhase as it sounds exactly like the Audio has been through a round trip of seriously high end Digital-Analogue-Digital converter chain.

Superb

I'm a newbie to digital manipulation.  I took analog tape music in 4 channels (Crown CX844) recorded years ago.  These were put onto Alesis HD24XR at 88.2/24 bit for archiving.  We decided to burn the 4 channels onto CDs using SURCODE to encode to the fronts and surrounds.  I had to convert sample rate.  I played with the free version of r8brain.  Then decided, after input from Aleksey and Neil to get pro.  Very glad I did.  So easy to use.  Actually easier than free version.

I've only been using Voxengo mastering plugins for a short time, and already they have become a core inclusion in all of my new projects and in many of my old ones.

I've been able to re-release clearer, brighter, smoother versions of tracks that I thought could never be lightened-up.

My listeners have already sent me glowing feedback about the quality and spacialization of my new and re-released mixes, since having incorporated Voxengo products.

I use almost the whole array of products in different combinations in different productions with fanastic results... though it's hard not to go overboard!

While some plugins are "too subtle to be heard", there's no question they modify the /feeling/ of the music; more solid, more smooth, and more enjoyable!

I plan to purchase the remaining pieces missing from my collection in the near future.

Thanks Voxengo, for sweet sounds and sweet deals.
