Voxengo Soniformer

I bought Soniformer years ago and never regretted it...it did more than I really expected it to do, and after using it on so many videos we produced it has proven to be one of my top plug-in choices.  Aleksey has always been very helpful and he produces some of the best audio tools available.  Don't hesitate to purchase any of his programs - you'll be very pleased that you did!

To begin, let me say that I love virtual synths but rarely get excited about virtual EQs and Compressors - until I bought something called the Soniformer.  This is really one of the coolest dynamic plugins I have ever used and it has pretty much replaced my use of the C-4.  The degree to which you can control the dynamics and frequencies of your sound is simply unlike any other plugin.  I've also recently acquired the Gliss and Curve EQs (not to mention a few others).  Not only do they all sound amazing, but the ability to control their parameters in such a graphic way and visually get feedback as to how much you are affecting the sound is really awesome.

When it comes to dynamic processors, a lot of companies design plugins that are boring and sound dull.  One of the things that I love about the Voxengo products (in addition to their great sound) is their ability to harness the vast capabilities that a computer has in processing digital audio.  Aleksey seems to understand that since your working with digital audio you can do some really unique things to polish and enhance the sound that you might not be able to do with traditional EQing and Compression, and this is where plugins like Soniformer and Gliss EQ are a breath of fresh air for audio.

As a young, aspiring producer, I've been fortunate to have worked on a wide variety of audio related projects from writing music for indie films (Flying Tiger, StagBunny), voiceovers for EA (Superman Returns), to appearing on some well respected electronic music compilations.  I'm also a Pro-Tools Lab Instructor for Advanced Workstations at Full Sail and since discovering the Voxengo products they have made their way into every one of my projects and will continue to do so in the future.  Other Audio Instructors in our department use them and I highly recommend them to my students as well.  Thanks Aleksey for such great sounding and "ingenuitive" plugins.  Sound with a Soul indeed!

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.
