Oh my gosh! This is amazing. I have been recording in my home studio for over 8 years and I have always gotten a hollow, narrow, non-professional sound, no matter how hard I tried. I use good (mid-grade) pro-audio equipment, a quality mic, and decent sounding instruments, however I could never get that professional glaze. I am a female vocalist, and due to the natural timbre of my voice, combined with my soprano range, my vocals always seemed to sound hoow, with too much reverb and echo (and nor because I added that either). I bought the voxformer, harmoniEQ, varisaturator, and polysquasher, and downloaded some of the free applications as well. The difference is remarkable. I just bought these yesterday- I installed them and worked with them til about midnight last night, then set the CD to burn while I slept. This morning, I took a listen and WOW. It sounds like it was done in a professional studio. Most of that came from the voxformer and harmoniEQ. Now, I will clean up the little things and add the final gloss with the varisaturator and the polysquasher. All I can say is "thank you". After many dead end searches, I finally found the products that work.

I was looking for something like the VC-64 that comes in Sonar for my new Reaper Setup.
After playing with it for an hour i was hooked. The Voxformer is not only a good vocal compressor, it also features a very pleasing saturation algorythm and routhing capabilities that makes it usefull for a lot of situation. It has instantly become one of my go-to plugins
Great product !

The new Voxformer 2 is an incredibly flexible, efficient and excellent sounding multi-function plugin, great for vocals, but also useful for many other sound sources. I especially like the new multiband gate; great for toms - after the initial tom snap dies down, you can have the higher frequencies gate down to reduce cymbal bleed, while preserving the lower sustain of the drum.
Smoother, tighter and cleaner than version 1, and now with the wonderful GUI and routing options that have become a trademark of Aleksey's professional plugin collection.
Another audio gem from Voxengo!

Good sound, good presets. It takes no more than a minute to find a setting.

Transparent honest dynamics, is perhaps the most difficult to harness without odd processing artifacts or splattting. What a plugin!
This mono monster will easily bring out the best in your microphone. Multi stage dynamics to Q sections,
It provides an easy to use interface, conceptually understandable, and invaritable the easiest way to fit a vocal into a mix. The functional presets start the ball rolling
As an engineer in a DAW environment, exceptional . . . as a musician in a recorded environment, Bravo
Thanks for the most inexpensive, megabuck sound.

I am delighted with my purchase of the latest Voxformer. I have used your free EQ, MSED and OSVerb for a number of years with useful results. I have to admit that I sometimes cannot tell the difference between my analog hardware equipment and your Voxformer on a track. Now that I know how to get what I want with the hardware, your vst filters are easier to understand, along with your excellently written user manuals. I have used many other vst plug-ins but my first choice is your product, which is why I have invested in it. Your free selection really does make a loyal customer. Congratulations on the new look, and the re-sizing too, easier on tired eyes.
Best Regards

In my studio time is an issue as deadlines are always a problem. I am constantly being told "I need it yesterday". And as I work with lots of different vocalists 'Voxengo Voxformer' has become my 'go to' channel strip as it allows me to create a great vocal sound quickly. The vocals seem to fit into my mixes better and I can create edgier vocal sounds for my tv work that are not too brittle and sharp. The presets are also very helpful.

The new Voxformer 2.0 has so many features at such a great price. I've been looking for a quality equalizer/deesser, and all the ones that compared with Voxformer were easily $200 or more. Best thing is, I can now use this as a general channel strip with the new dual attack/release variable compressors. It really cuts down on the amount of plugins I have to run.

AAAMMMMMMAAAZZZZZINNNNNNGGGG PRODUCT!
I was mixing a project and was looking for the perfect vocal sound on a lead vocal track. I read about the voxformer update to on KVR and gave it a try.
I was immediately sold. My 6 year old son entered the room and said "I had not noticed this word was there before......."

I am a 31-year-old musician that has been singing and playing guitar for 17 years. My two brothers and a lifelong friend have been writing and performing music together for over 10 years. We have gone to local studios and paid tons of money only to be rushed, overcharged, and unhappy with the end result of our music. Therefore, we decided to record our latest efforts ourselves. I studied, researched, practiced, and sought advice from several forums. I was happy with everything about our project, exept my vocals. They just sounded "dry" and "metallic". I couldn't put my finger on it, but my vocals sounded very weak next to our music (we play alternative rock...think Coheed and Cambria meets The Mars Volta). The Warmifier paired with the Voxformer is an absolutely astounding solution. My vocals sound rich, warm, and polished. Believe me, I've tried several plug-ins (compressors, EQ's, Modulators, etc., etc.) with less than satisfying results (glitches, poor quality, system crashes, you name it) but these two Voxengo plug-ins are an instant fix. I really am surprised at the difference this plug-in makes. It's almost imperceptable....very subtle, but definately there! Extremely easy to use.....I use two presets that come with the plug-ins "Warmer and Richer" on the Warmifier and "Smooth as Silk" on the Voxformer. I will be posting this on the Voxformer page as well. Thanks Voxengo.....
