Voxengo Sobor
I have to say that voxengo plugins are incredible and often much better than more expensive equivalents "when they are available" as many voxengo plugins have no equivalent. I'm blown away by their sonic excellence and the ease with which you can find textures with great musicality and interest. The interface is clear and functional without unnecessary and distracting decorations. There's everything you need to control sounds or sculpt them.
Soniformer offers advanced and transparent dynamics processing, with all types of compression and expansion possible (upward, downward, de-compression, de-expansion). It's useful for beautiful, homogeneous multiband compression as well as for recovering a file lacking in dynamics, correcting phase corelation problems.
Sobor is simply one of the best reverbs I've ever heard and I've got quite a collection of them! It's the only one I use regularly 100%wet because the small spaces it produces allow you to create nuanced 3d depth with complete transparency. But of course it's also possible to create unrealistic spaces ranging from plate reverb to vintage models.
LF Max Punch is so well thought out in its conception that it gives the right presence and punch to low tones much more easily and better than with the other enhancers I'd used before or the other various ‘classic’ techniques, and once you've tried it, you can't do without it.
I can assure you that I regret having missed out on the offer to upgrade to the complete bundle when it was possible... I have reduced my vst folder but everything I own from voxengo is there - these are the tools I use for each of my projects! Thank you Voxengo.
This last week, I upgraded one of my computers from Windows XP to Win7. I did this by completely reformatting my partition, and installing everything from scratch.
When it came time to install and authorize all my Voxengo plugs, I was delighted to find something no regular user encounters on a day to day basis - that there is a means to authorize all my licensed Voxengos in a single action. That is some very clever and very considerate programming, and greatly appreciated by someone faced with the tedious task of installing and authorizing dozens of programs and plugins.
Voxengo plugins are an integral part of my working process now, and just about everything I turn out has been touched in one way or another by your work. Thanks very much for the great sound, and the little touches that are the product of great programming.
