As a professional masteringstudio i'm looking all the time for the best limiter.
After comparing the Elephant 3 seriously with all the State-of-the Art-Limiters on the marked i use now the Elephant 3 on nearly all of my masterings.
The El-Uni-Algo ist fantastic;
more punch, less distortion, less side-effects & less harshness than all the "big names"!

Hi. This is Robert from Serakos studio (Poland) www.serakos.pl. I've just downloaded your GEQ and I'm absolutely stunning. This plug-in exellent. I'm using Pro Tools TDM with couple of nice outboard (Vintech, TL Audio, Focusrite, Apogee) and Wavelab for VST plugs. I have to say that GEQ is one of the best eq (software and - or - hardware) and the M/S option is superb for mastering. Thank you!

I've been using L1, L2 and then the "mighty" L3 Multi at the end of countless chains for countless projects- from the modest sound-byte, the neato car commercial, the ending credits for a movie, etc...anywho, I have done a lot of "finishing" work for all sorts of music/sound related stuff. I thought I was good and then: enter Elephant- holy crap, it looks cheap but whatever, it delivers the goods and imo should be making the people at waves and digi have some sleepless nights. I've recorded countless songs in my own studio and have been recorded myself at some pretty big name places with some big-shot producers, you know the type, they have a closet full of vintage u-47's and will not shut up about their studer 2 inch 16track machines (I know, I love them too!)- even though secretly they have like, 10 macs with a million gigs of ram and eat EWQL's 165 gigabyte orch samples for breakfast---point being, I got into this world first through Bach than punk and jazz and so forth and was always a super sound freak as well as a computer dork. I know what sounds good and what sounds great- and I gotta say, Elephant is actually the best software of it's kind I have come across bar-none. End of discussion. I've had masters done by many people and places including the venerable abbey road and well, I must say that Elephant can hang with the best of them. I can't wait to get some of Voxengo's other plugs 'cause if they are of Elephant quality, well then- my 6000$ Waves Bundle may find it's way into the trashcan some time in the near future. You guy's are great! In this world of endless terrible garageband/reason one click music, it's really refreshing to come across a plug that actually does have "Sound with a Soul". Excellent work.

In mastering work I often do (unscientific) blind testing where I'll A/B two files or settings (with my eyes closed) and see which I choose as better. I did this with R8Brain PRO for some 48KHz to 44.1KHz conversions and easily and consistantly chose R8Brain over Wavelab's Crystal Resampler. Just last night I stepped further to compare the R8Brain dither to UV22HR and was surprised to find I chose R8Brain Pro hands-down over UV22HR... At least on that track I was working on, it was notably less cloudy. You are making me look good... I mean sound good! Money very well spent.

Voxengo plugins are the best computer related products I ever bought! When I tried them I couldn't believe my ears. How can they sound so good?! I'm using a PC mostly, but own a MAC also. I never thought I could get such a sound with my PC. (Sonar7 on a 64bit Vista Ultimate). Voxengo have saved my musical life! "Sound with a Soul", takes my music and makes it fly... Thank You very much!

During the last few years I replaced a lot of mixing outboard with Voxengo Plugins, simply because they sound better.
Voxengo Curve EQ has replaced nearly every digital or analog EQ I own (except the Focusrite stuff) and the various tubesim and saturation plugins have made my Telefunken tape machine obsolete.
Since I use Voxengo Pristine Space / Boogex all my guitar and bass amplifiers start to rot slowly in their corner, only being used for capturing impluses sometimes.
There certainly is still some use for my old stuff, but not too much since I have my Voxengo Plugins.

I love Voxego Products. Specially the Sample rate converter r8Brain pro. the conversion Quality is better then most of the products & DAW softwares available in the market. (Protools, Cubase. Logic Etc) I read about r8Brain pro in the UAD forums, & tried out the free version, which also sounds extremely good, now I own the Pro Version of r8Brain.
The batch conversion is a very helpful feature which helped me convert almost 200+ files 96khz to 44.1 in the matter of Hours.
A feature that is not listed her, is that you can run multiple version of this software. As I have a Dual Quad Core PC so I can safely run 8 separate instances of r8Brain pro which accelerate the batch process to a great deal.
Life without music is soulless.

I had to stop what i was doing to comment on how amazing Redunoise is. That detail of operation is astounding. The more you learn how to tune it the more work it can do. Simply amazing.

I have just finished mastering 'Is there time' by Rail Road Riders.
Most of the songs needed some final flavour and with Varisaturator I obtained what was needed. It is very easy to use. I flipped through the various proposed settings and quickly found what I was looking for for each individual song and all I needed to do therefater was a small adjustment with the available analogue like bottoms.
I used Varisaturated after the EQ (Voxengo GlissEQ) and before the final limiting.
Great tool Aleksey!
