I've used/designed/studied limiters for years. This is a remaining "black art" in audio. Its easy to make a limiter to contain peak levels as long as you don't care how it smashes transients. Its easy to design a limiter that pretty much preserves transients if you don't care about perceived loudness. A limiter with "hot" output which still preserves the transients is unusual. Elephant does this better than any limiter I've ever encountered at any price. People are suspicious of low-priced products, usually for a good reason. In this case, don't be. Check this limiter out! I don't know all the magic behind this one but its real. Again, best limiter I've ever heard.

I recently purchased Pristine Space and Voxformer and I am totally delighted with the quality and the astonishing value for money. I'm a professional composer, but I do resent having to shell out hundreds of pounds for the likes of Waves, when there are products the standard of Voxengo about- and which are easily as good as, if not better then Waves anyway!
So thanks for your work,products and customer service - I think it makes such a difference dealing with a smaller company, rather than big faceless ones.
I live in Edinburgh, Scotland (with a growing Polish community!) and I'm delighted to support an excellent company like Voxengo. Thanks again, and keep up the great work.

I consider the Voxengo Elephant Limiter to be the most smooth, natural sounding limiter anywhere. It performs circles around Waves L2 which everyone seems to be using just because everyone else has it. The results from Elephant speak for themselves.

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 cannot believe that Warmifier gives BBE Sonic Maximizer a run for the money. I was fixated on BBE, but after using Warmifier, there is so much more control that the BBE SM doesn't have: current, voltage tube emulation as well as tube makes/types, LE and HE filter adjustments as well as LE And HE EQ'ing. Just disgusting! (Don't fret: that's a good disgusting LOL)
Sometimes I have to admit it: I get confused to using Lampthruster and Warmifer, but Warmifer is the unexpected lovechild of Voxengo TubeAmp & Voxengo Sonic Finalizer in my eyes! I assume that Warmifer is better for the mastering phase when used with Marq. Compressor, Soniformer and Elephant.....as Lampthruster is good for colorizing tracks in congregation with Voxengo Crunchessor, Voxengo GlissEQ, and Elephant, correct?
Well, enough of my raving. I'm going back to using this bad boy. Using Warmifier with AFChorus and Crysonic's Spectra'PE 32-bit limiter is a deadly combo, yo.
Peace,

I really hadn't known what I was missing out on before I picked up a Voxengo product. Wow! Lampthruster's eq is absolutely beautiful. I mean, I have some decent hardware eq's and some commercially bought software eq's (even tried the Waves products) but Lampthruster actually seemed to give me a tone that didn't quash the real character of what I was equalizing. It was kind of eye-opening to me. I look forward to picking up more of these gems...

Aleksey Vaneev. I love you. I had dreadful problems with a muddy weak bass for a surround project. But whenever theres a problem Voxengo are already there for you. LfMax and LfPunch are my saviours today. (Along with Gliss/Curve and Marquis)

I have been using Voxengo plugins for about 4 years now. I use many plugins and various pieces of hardware, but I still do not open a session without using the Gliss EQ.
No other EQ does what the Gliss can do. I am able to boost frequencies on my kicks and bass while at the same time making them tighter rather than flabbier.
I can bring up the highs on the snare and increase its snap at the same time.
Between the sonic strength and useful features (such as overlaying various tracks frequency responses) of the Gliss EQ, it has become one the most used tools in my arsenal.

Voxengo's Voxformer is a fantastic tool for "trashing up" virtually any sound source, particularly vocals and drums. The dual band compression is particularly effective and sounds great too.
