Voxengo

For those who are on a budget, Voxengo is good and cheap. Their product, Pristine Space as a killer convolution reverb. They give you free impulses and it is less CPU intensive than Altiverb, and just as good.

Check them out:

There are mastering engineers who recommend their "elephant" limiter. I've used it and it's very good. Their "Harmonex" eq is also good. I haven't tried their reverb, think I'll check it out.

YEs there Gliss EQ's are great too. I use them.

Voxengo makes good stuff, I've been using their plugins for years.

Was just talking to a mastering engineer. He recommended Voxengo Elephant above Waves L3 and 90% of reviews I've read seem to love it. A couple have indicated it is more metallic and less warm than other plugs.

I love Vonxengo stuff!
Elephant 2 is my goto limiter when I want to bring levels up with minimal coloration. Nothing else I've used even comes close to it for that. It's no wonder to me that no less than Bob Katz recommends it.

The HarmoniEQ is becoming my goto EQ for adding top end. The way it works dynamically with the signal levels is brilliant. I love it for adding shimmer and sparkle w/o getting shrill.

The Voxformer gets used on most of my acoustic guitar, banjo, dobro, mandolin tracks. The 2 band comp on it is the bees knees (hey, I'm running out of superlatives here...). It also has a great clipping section. The EQ in it can be brutal if you're not careful. I usually use it for HP and LP with very broad and gentle push/pulls in the middle.

The Soniformer is probably next on my list. I'm just real tentative about multi-band compression. There like bulldozers for audio. They can do lots of damage in the wrong hands...

Dwayne knows whereof he speaks; Voxengo products deliver major bang per buck.

Hi Dwayne...do you like Pristine Space better than REVerence?

Hi Dwayne...do you like Pristine Space better than REVerence?

Yes I do. Unless they fixed it, Reverence had a problem storing Impulses. If you used a third party impulse then Cubase would not recall it.

Also, I think it uses less CPU. Not sure about that, but it seemed like it.

Also Pristine space has a ton of more options. But, Rev might be easier to edit the Impulse if you need to.

If anyone knows if Cubase fixed that bug let me know.

Both Impulse Reverbs are good though.

Reverberate is good and lightweight, too.
