Voxengo Crunchessor

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.

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.

I just bought this plugin, and have to say it's absolutely brilliant!

For years now, I have been using some plugins that came with my DAW, which I had become accustomed to.  I have always struggled to get my mixes to sound sufficiently loud without making them sound squashed.

As soon as I tried Elephant for the first time, I could hear the difference that this plugin could make to my work.  Elephant is truly amazing - it is incredibly transparent, and the metering and graphing options come in very handy too.

Thanks so much for such a great product!  I'd recommend Voxengo Elephant to anyone who needs super high quality buss compression.
