Quite simply, Elephant 3 is the best limiter I have ever heard - vastly outperforming my current one in terms of transparency (I'd better not say which one it is - but it costs a lot more than Elephant!)
It has so many excellent features which make it very easy to tailor the perfect sound for my masters. And yet, despite having so many variables, the clear layout, innovative metering graphs and incredibly well designed preset modes make it an absolute joy to use straight away.
The only downside is that now - I'm redoing the last CD I mastered. Not because my client was unhappy, but because I know it will sound SO much better with an Elephant sat on it. Thanks very much to Aleksey and his team for this marvelous piece of software.
Hue Jah Fink? - Mastering Engineer, and Creative Director at BinaryFeedback.comThanks 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.
