Voxengo Elephant Mastering Limiter Plug-In
Voxengo Elephant update version 3.6 is now available for download. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications, available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats, for Mac OS X and Windows computers.
Version 3.6 update includes the following changes:
- Real-time gain reduction and waveform graphs implemented.
- Mid/side and side-chain routing presets now appear dimmed to reduce confusion.
- Parameter automation on AU Mac OS X now shows real parameter values.
- Preset “update” function implemented in the preset manager.
- The “VST Function Sync” global switch was added that fixes crashes in some hosts (i.e. Tracktion).
- “Density mode” implemented in level meters.
- Occasional extreme CPU overloads eliminated at the expense of average increased CPU load.
- “Pure+3″ output metering mode’s peak indicator is now 3 dB lower.
- “Pure” and “Pure+3″ metering modes are now known as “dBFS” and “dBFS+3″ modes, respectively.
- The “No Multi-Channel Operation” global switch was added that fixes incompatibility with some non-VST2.3 compliant VST hosts.
- DC filter parameters are now specified for all channel groups to avoid phasing problems.
- The “Show All Channel Meters” routing switch added.
- Statistics “reset” function now resets statistics of all channels correctly.
- A minor issue fixed in the dithering stage. Continue reading

Loudness war goes on and on – but don´t worry, there is a solution and it doesn´t cost too much. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter that is transparent, doesn´t pump and gives you loudness enough for serious mastering. Voxengo Elephant is actually so good that I would compare it to Waves L2 limiter.
Voxengo Elephant has 64 bit floating point processing, multi channel processing, 10 predefined limiter modes, A/B comparisons and noise shaped dithering. It´s available as AU and VST plugins.
+ transparency
+ sound quality
+ supports multi-channel at any standard sample rate

To be honest, I have never used the original Fairchild 670 sound processor. Some users say that everything that goes through it starts to sound great 
Maybe that is truth, I don´t know. Anyway, this modelled unit by IK Multimedia sounds really great! And at what price? It´s only $99.99!!! Go and download it immediately!
+ sounds great

This plugin really adds something more even to a track that has already been limited very hard. With Sony Oxford Inflator you can get more loudness without any breathing or pumping. It´s not as it´s best if you try to use it as the only limiter in a stereo bus. I got best results when using it after a limiter in a drums bus or in main stereo bus. What I think that should be included is dithering. But this is still well worth buying.
+ Simple to use
+ Sound quality & results
- No dithering
