Voxengo Crunchessor

I love all my Voxengo plugins. My mastering chain is basically Crunchessor->CurveEQ->Elephant and the results are great. Crunchessor also gets a lot of use when tracking since it can give a wide range of colors to my tracks.
I will definitely get some more stuff from Aleksey in the future.
Alfonso Alba (hobby musician)Crunchessor - good for drums and percussions. Fixed ratio, “style” selector - suitable for adjusting the sound for any genre and character.
Deft compressor - good for other track types. Punch knob - excellent for transients/attack management
Marquis compressor - good as SSL analog for gluing groups (variable soft mode of amplifier - pleasant to the ear).
I recommend all three compressors at once for purchase.
Iaroslav, RussiaIt's pretty simple why Voxengo plugins are so good - Alexsey has a better ear compared to other developers.
His plugins sound so 'musical'. I've used many other plugins that technically perform their designed function, yet somehow just don't sound good.
I now have a whole set of expensive plugins that are just taking up drive space. They simply don't sound as good as thier Voxengo counterparts.
