Voxengo Crunchessor

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 have had a 'bedroom studio' for the last few years and when it came time to look for mixing and mastering tools outside of Logic's own I did a lot of research into the different brands on the market.  Voxengo's was a name consistently associated with high praise.  Having bought numerous plug-ins from you I attest to the robustness, usability, elegance and effectiveness of the Voxengo tools and the audible improvements they made to my music.  The price, when looking at that of the competition, seems pretty cheap.

I use Crunchessor (powerful all-purpose compressor), Drumformer (great results) and Voxformer, Varisaturator, GlissEQ and HarmoniEQ and the smaller ones, like StereoTouch (so good), Warmifier (very subtle when used correctly) and LF Max Punch (instantly rewarding).  When I master I always use CurveEQ (brilliant design), Soniformer and Elephant.

As an amateur, it's hard for me to appreciate just how good these plug-ins are, because I've not tried a lot of the comparable tools from other companies, but as Voxengo always does the job in the way I want, I've no desire to look for any replacements.  When I used Elephant, I knew I wouldn't need another limiter; it doesn't add any colour to the mix and it's incredibly powerful.  The entire mix is simply elevated, louder, with no apparent negatives.  The only one I have no idea how to use is Soniformer, but the presets are really solid, so I don't feel the need to investigate further.

The saturation, EQ and compressors in Voxformer helped me fully realise what my voice could be.  I had no idea my vocals could sound so full and warm until I used it, and now my singing has matured to match that sound so well that I don't even need to dump loads of effects anymore, just any quick preset on the Voxformer and there you go: thicker, sunnier, glowing.

I'm so stoked I came across this site, and I will definitely get the Polysquasher in the sale this summer.

Voxengo VSTs have become such a critical part of my mixing environment that I will never have a mix on my computer without them!!!

Aboslutely incredible how these VSTs mimic the sonic purity of the greatest analog gear ever invented...

Voxengo VSTs are the answer for any lacking mix.  If you are not using these plugins, then you are missing out on the best sounding products available in VST format, bar none!!!
