I mainly use Marquis and Pristine Space light.  For me Marquis is one of the best comps out there since it covers a lot of different compressor types and it's very tweakable.  Pristine Space has all I want in a convolution plug.  I also have some of the more expensive stuff in my plugin folder but Voxengo holds its ground and gets used in every mix I do.

I must say I really like this approach to plugins.  Feature rich, plain but useful GUI's and some unique ideas.  Not to forget the fair prices.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Aleksey, Crunchessor is crunchtastic.  When layering kicks or snares it pulls all the sounds together, and with the valve processing I can brighten them up or make them bland and dirty but still with a good amount of thump.  Worth every penny.  Keep up the good work.

I bought Voxengo Crunchessor because I needed a sidechain compressor to use with SONAR 6, and Crunchessor is the least expensive sidechain compressor out there (except for the freeware compressors that I couldn't get to sidechain reliably in SONAR).  Little did I know what a cool piece of gear it is.  Now I'm using it frequently, on everything from organ to drums.  It's got a lot of attitude, from very clean to very aggressive, and it works with all sorts of material.  And the side chaining works great too!  This plugin is a bargain.

This thing has bite.  Guitars, Snares and Kicks really cut through using little guy..

After seeing the Voxengo name in various forums, I decided to have a look for myself.  I had no idea what I was missing...until now.  I own a number of competing products, but haven't heard anything quite like these plugins.  They look different and come with funny names, but don't let that fool you.  They're extremely musical and achieve great results.  Within hours of purchasing and installing the Mixing Suite, I have created what is probably my finest mix to date!

Voxengo plugins are the best computer related products I ever bought!  When I tried them I couldn't believe my ears.  How can they sound so good?!  I'm using a PC mostly, but own a MAC also.  I never thought I could get such a sound with my PC. (Sonar7 on a 64bit Vista Ultimate).  Voxengo have saved my musical life! "Sound with a Soul", takes my music and makes it fly...  Thank You very much!

Woohoo!!  The Mac OSX 10.4.11+ version of Voxengo Overtone GEQ came out just in time!  I'm mixing live multi-track recordings from 7 different bands I captured at the Northern California Blues Festival and the email notification about this product came just as I was mixing the 4th one... a rather large band with a horn section.  I was struggling with the sound until I threw this plug-in into the mastering track along with Crunchessor.  This thing put the "live" back into the live recording!  Thank you!!!!

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,

Thank you again for your products.  With every new project I find new ways to get the sounds I want with your tools.  Voxengo VSTs are truly part of my workhorse arsenal.

The latest example is LFMax and LFPunch.  At first I thought they were nice enough to buy, but I didn't use them much until recently.  In fact, I had almost considered giving them up.  But recently I sat down with the tools to really see what they're made of -- and that's when I came to really discover their potential in ALL my mixes!

With a clever combination of Crunchessor for sidechaining, LFMax, and LFPunch for all tracks with low-frequency content, my tracks sound ten times better.  I had always thought 'low end will always be sloppy, there's no way to make it sound good'.  I was wrong!

I was always trying to repair slop in the midrange and unbalanced highs with simple EQ, but with LFMax, LFPunch, and Crunchessor, I'm able to tame the low-end and get the sort of solid, even response I've wanted in a wide range of listening conditions -- headphones, studio monitors, and consumer systems with a wide array of subwoofer quality, tone, and loudness "features".

We find our Voxengo plug-ins to be valuable additions to our collection.  They sound fantastic, use very little CPU power and cost next to nothing.

They hold there own next to many of our much more expensive (and 'famous') plugs.

Thanks guys!  Keep up the good work!
