Voxengo Elephant

The Voxengo Suite has absolutely made music production and mixing more fun, efficient and creative.  The workflow and visualization of PrimeEQ has made it my go-to Parametric EQ and the sound is pristine.  Crunchessor, Marquis compressor and Deft Compressor are some of the smoothest and most flexible software compressors.  They all have such a wide "sweet spot" and it is hard to make them sound bad, allowing you to focus on creative decisions.  On the mixbus, polysquasher and soniformer are the only compressors I have tried that consistently provide truly transparent compression regardless of the material, while CurveEQ can effortlessly shape a full mix with complete transparency.  Finally Elephant delivers energy, smoothness and loudness like no other limiter, beating out everything else in my toolkit.  Its tweakability makes it suitable for any material.  The entire Voxengo suite of plugins really have something special going on.  No hype, just top level DSP, top level design and top level sound.

I had looked for a decent VST mastering limiter for quite a while.  After a lot of crappy sounding products flooded the market and some rather expensive tools started to break the sound barrier, Voxengo has managed to come up with the first plugin of it's kind I have heard that manages to sound extremely good and transparent at a reasonable price.

I often use the Elephant on TV material and therefore really love the high pass filter.  The versatile oversampling options are a really nice idea, too.

The only thing I miss is a 5.1 mode....

Using fl studio as DAW, I have never had a problem with any of your plugins.  Stable, functional, easy to use and the sound quality/ cpu load is excellent.  These plugins have become my first choice in most applications.  Thank you for many years of enjoyment.
