Voxengo updates

Thx Carl, I am a big fan of Span.

Updated Span. Looks a little easier on the eyes to me!

March 15, 2013: We are happy to inform you that Voxengo Voxformer 
version 2.8 update is now available for download. Voxengo Voxformer 
is a multi-functional vocal channel strip plugin for professional 
audio production applications, available in AudioUnit and VST 
plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X 
(v10.5 and later), and Windows computers. 

Changes that version 2.8 implements: 

* The EQ curve is now hidden when the equalizer is set to "Off". 
* Spectrum mode presets are now shared between all Voxengo plug-ins. 

The coolest feature of Voxformer is its one-knob vocal compressor. 
Using only a single knob, you can get a tight, open and definitive 
professional vocal sound with an excellent articulation in no time. 
You do not have to worry about common ratio and make-up gain 
controls since they are automatically selected by the advanced 
compression algorithm while attack and release parameters are stored 
in a mode preset. Moreover, Voxformer features two compressors of 
this type, allowing you to apply either a two-band or a two-stage 
(serial) vocal compression. 

As always, thanks Carl.

It's about time Alexsey put in 1/9th-octave smoothing! My gosh, how could he have overlooked that feature for so long? You know, for those times when 1/6th-octave smoothing is just too coarse.
 
(Kidding, of course. Love SPAN and thrilled that it's still being enhanced.)
 
One of the more curious enhancements is the right-click copy to clipboard feature. So many things a programmer might want to do with a right-click event, it's surprising that he'd squander it on such an obscure feature.
 
So I had to try it out. It does indeed place a text string of the frequency you're currently pointing to into the clipboard. I assume this is to allow you to paste a precise frequency into an equalizer's settings.

27-May-2014: Voxengo Elephant version 4.1 is now available for download. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plugin for professional audio and sound production applications, available in AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers.

This version includes the following changes:

• Extended the input gain range to +24 dB.
• Extended the output gain range to -15 dB.
• Made the "Eval" switch to not affect the output statistics.
• Extended the "Release Shape" range to 2, offers an extreme punch and "hardness", via an idealized S-curve release shape.
• Added "EL-4 BRITE" factory limiter mode.
• Made the output signal level to never exceed 1 dB over the Out Gain setting.
• Improved the "EL-4" algorithm reducing transient distortion and "boxiness": the sound is more biting less woofing now.
• Improved oversampling filters reducing chances of overshoots.

Actually I think it's slightly better than Pro-L.
 
I don't use either for general instrument audio tracks.
For stems or mastering I'm using less limiting overall these days. It used to be no more than -3db, now it's -1db or less.
 
Now if he'd only update Pristine Space to x64....
