Voxengo Crunchessor
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".
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.
