Voxengo Elephant

To begin, let me say that I love virtual synths but rarely get excited about virtual EQs and Compressors - until I bought something called the Soniformer.  This is really one of the coolest dynamic plugins I have ever used and it has pretty much replaced my use of the C-4.  The degree to which you can control the dynamics and frequencies of your sound is simply unlike any other plugin.  I've also recently acquired the Gliss and Curve EQs (not to mention a few others).  Not only do they all sound amazing, but the ability to control their parameters in such a graphic way and visually get feedback as to how much you are affecting the sound is really awesome.

When it comes to dynamic processors, a lot of companies design plugins that are boring and sound dull.  One of the things that I love about the Voxengo products (in addition to their great sound) is their ability to harness the vast capabilities that a computer has in processing digital audio.  Aleksey seems to understand that since your working with digital audio you can do some really unique things to polish and enhance the sound that you might not be able to do with traditional EQing and Compression, and this is where plugins like Soniformer and Gliss EQ are a breath of fresh air for audio.

As a young, aspiring producer, I've been fortunate to have worked on a wide variety of audio related projects from writing music for indie films (Flying Tiger, StagBunny), voiceovers for EA (Superman Returns), to appearing on some well respected electronic music compilations.  I'm also a Pro-Tools Lab Instructor for Advanced Workstations at Full Sail and since discovering the Voxengo products they have made their way into every one of my projects and will continue to do so in the future.  Other Audio Instructors in our department use them and I highly recommend them to my students as well.  Thanks Aleksey for such great sounding and "ingenuitive" plugins.  Sound with a Soul indeed!

I bought CurveEQ and Elephant last week and put them to the test over the weekend.  I just want to say that I'm absolutely blown away, especially with Elephant.  The Curve EQ has answered all my prayers - I've been struggling with FreeFilter for about 2 years and find it so limited and restricted, your interface is not only enjoyable to use but intuitive and highly workable, for me just seeing average DB against frequency is like unlocking all the secrets of the big mastering houses - most of our stuff goes on to vinyl so getting the 20-150Hz range right is vital.  The Elephant is just HUGE compared to Waves L2 (which to me sounds dull in comparison), Elephant lifts the mix right up, kick drums don't get squashed and main leads and bass are just sooo loud without pumping.  3db preset is just the best, this will be our new secret weapon in making mixes sound even bigger & better.  I just want to say a big thanks for writing the above magic tools, you obviously love programming and understanding sound which has given you a great ability to make killer plugins.  I will definitely be commenting on forums and passing on recommendations to others.  Wishing you all the success in the future ;) Best regards.

I just want to say thank you for making amazing plugins.  All of your plugins sound great, are easy to use, and offer so many features providing ease of use, but also provide deep customization.  This is no small feat..especially coming from one person!

Thank you for your dedication to providing great sounding plugins.
