Voxengo Elephant

Hey all..I just upgraded from the demo version of the Elephant mastering limiter, and I am impressed do far.  It's WAAY better than the mastering limiter that came standard with Sonar 8, that I've stopped using that one altogether except for extremely mild limiting cases.  The Elephant limiter is so much more musical sounding and punchy than my stock limiter that I can immediately hear a very noticeable difference.  Congratulations to Voxengo for pimping me out, because now I'm going to have to but some of their other plug ins too.

The Voxengo guys really have struck the right balance here between controls and automation so that, with very few tweaks and a little foreward planning, results are coming in fast.  And they are good results!

I bought Elephant during the final mastering stage of our latest album, to add those few extra dBs for punch and playability, and this little plugin with its intuitive interface did just that, and did it well.  The transparancy up to +3dB gain is excellent provided the appropriate limiting algorhithm is pushed into action.

There may be even more accomplished limiters out there.  But they probably cost multiples of what this baby retails for.  For the money, nothing beats it.

I thought I'd drop you a note just to say that I have no negative issues with the plugins.  I like using all the ones I have and love the sound.  I find them easy to use and understand.  The pricing seems very fair to me as well.  I also wanted to especially note the look of the plugs.  I prefer the straight forward layouts as opposed to very elaborate GUI's or emulations of "vintage" looking devices.
