Voxengo Polysquasher

I want you to know I am VERY happy with CurveEQ and Polysquasher.  In reality mastering is performed with expensive analog gear inside a special room.  These two plugins get me as close to mastering as I can get for someone who does home recording for his own enjoyment, only without spending the big dollars.  Nothing I have tried to date can come close to these plugins.  You do very good work and I wish you the best of success.

Voxengo is one of these rare plugin developers who offers high quality professional audio software at a really fair price.  I tried their limiter, Elephant 2 some years ago and I just bought Elephant 3, released in September 2008.

Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications.  I tried some other limiters but Elephant, despite is name, is really transparent and discrete and can add some loudness without the usual side-effects, used sparingly like with every limiter of course!

For The Field Where She Died, I’m using another Voxengo plugin which is a mastering comp called the Polysquasher (I love this name!!).  It’s a “glue comp” which is really transparent and brings more cohesion to the mix.  I find that Elephant and Polysquasher work really great together and are a great and low cost way to finalize your songs, preserving their natural feel and dynamics.

There’s also a free EQ which is quite interesting: The Overtone EQ.

I’m really curious to try other plugins from Voxengo like the GlissEQ, a mastering EQ which seems to be really appreciated here and there!

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.
