Voxengo Elephant
I downloaded the demo version of the Elephant limiter and immediately my mixes required less effort. I suffer from the all too common ailment of having a hell of a time getting my mixes to sit in the upper and lower mids while still being punchy. After demoing Elephant, I've realized that I've been wasting a LOT of time tweaking EQ plugins and other not so good mastering tools to get my mixes to translate. After using the Elephant plugin on some "problem child" projects I had, they went from being a "maybe" to "Total Destruction Of The Universe."
Voxengo might as well be selling highly addictive illicit substances, because you're going to feel like a junkie when you've experienced this plugin. You'lll want more and more...
R Kopald...Thanks so much for the HarmoniEQ update. It sounds amazing. I'm finally getting the sounds on my songs that I've been trying to get for years. I use it in my mastering chain. It gives me a airy presence that's not harsh. The compressed settings are just great. They give me a smoothness that I've been looking for for my solo classical guitar pieces that have been difficult in the past.
The mastering chain I've been using recently, all Voxengo, is Tapebus, CurveEQ, Polysquasher (also a great update-wow!), HarmoniEQ, Elephant. I've been having a lot of success with that combo but I'm wondering if you have any suggestions or feedback about it. Thanks for your great work.
