Voxengo Soniformer - User Testimonials
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!
Well this is a very strange point of view I have achivied after trying out
the Voxengo mastering tools.They sound superb in confront to others.I don't want to repeat myself but Soniformer and Elephant have given the results of a TC Electronic master (or even better).So I now look at the audio world in another way -There are some things in life that money can't buy,even your talent and devotion to the audio world- Your intelectual property should cost more and more but you kept this simple.Well I am astonished with Curve EQ and Lampthruster which gave us the ability to throw some tube racks out the window.And finaly r8brain Pro and Free that helped to over come the need to by those expensive and bother some converters that seems to me just take up space and confort.A big thank you from a young composer but very careful to sound quality and final products.You made it people transparency,clarity,punch,artistic design,warmth and consistency will have the VOXENGO stamp over them for a long time

There's not much to say about the products. They're just fantastic.
Can't really remember how I mastered in my pre Elephant days.
Just bought the convolution suite and looking forward to spending some quality time with it.
I record and master a lot of different types of projects. I have the algorithmix plug-ins, two UAD 1 cards, just about every plugin you can think of. I just started using the voxengo plugs and "wow", I can't believe how great they sound!!! They do things to your signal that you strive for with expensive high end gear.
Keep on creating.
Voxengo makes some of the hottest plugins in the biz. The marquis comp is now my go to comp for all my tracking and mixing. From clean to colored and all textures in between marquis is the one. On the two buss soniformer killed the w***** L2. Soniformer is butter smooth with no artifacts. It pulled the mix together while adding a touch of warmth and sheen. WOW!!!!

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 did want to mention that I find your products to work very, very well. I post a number of docu-drama shows as well as some music. I am finding myself forgoing my hardware based plugs and using your Voxformer, and Soniformer in those same slots. I had a producer comment a couple of weeks ago, during a mix of his show; he asked how I was able to get the on camera dialog to be so clear in the midst of a great number of fx and music cues. I pointed out the before and after using your Voxformer plug as an insert on the dialog channels. He was very impressed with the difference. This was one of those shows where the location audio guy had been let go after shooting for several days and I had to still make the dialog work.
Anyway, thanks for making these plugs available.
