User Reviews
A word on Elephant. I use quite an array of plug-in processors and effects(within my DAW) in my work. Some are very expensive and do an incredibly professional job (provided you take the time to learn how to use them). Heres one of them with a slight exception.
Elephant is an excellent track limiter. Especially for rhythm and drum tracks. Acceptional control with a silky, yet somewhat nuetral sound. Its user friendly with a simple, but effective interface.
The exception.........its not one of the more expensive products. The results just sound like it.
I have been very pleased in using several of the Voxengo processors in different professional projects. After learning what they do well ( and they do alot ), sound sculpting becomes that much easier.
Also...my feelings tell me that this company isn't going to rest on its laurels and there are further treats to come.
I have been Voxengo user for many years and appreciate the products very much. I daily use the GlissEQ, SPAN Plus, Elephant and MSED in my mastering, other products like the Soniformer I use for particularly tough problems. The great thing about the Voxengo products is the possibility to adjust them very precisely to your needs.
The GlissEQ is such a powerful plugin, if you take the effort to make some presets your starting point. So, I usually use it 2 times on a mix, once for notching (often dynamic), once for m/s EQing.
The SPAN Plus is an excellent analyzer, which also allows a comparison before/after by several routing possibilities. Elephant has been one of my favorites for years, because it can be adjusted very precisely and, in contrast to many other limiters, doesn't lose the bass so quickly and has less of a tendency to hardness than most of the competitors. In addition, there is the stepless scalability of the GUI and the resource-saving programming, which scores unequalled.
