21-Nov-2016: Voxengo Elephant version 4.5 is now available for
download. Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plugin for
professional audio and sound production applications, available in
AAX, AudioUnit, VST and VST3 plug-in formats (including native
64-bit support), for Mac OS X (v10.6 and later), and Windows
computers.
The “EL-C” algorithm which is the newest addition to Elephant
version 4, uses a novel approach to limiting, based on usual
compression found in compressors, but applied in a special
feed-forward & feedback manner. This mode has fixed internal timing
constants making it very easy to setup and use. This mode is not
meant to completely surpass and replace the “EL-4” mode, but in some
music genres, the “EL-C” mode produces less coloration and less
transient distortion. It also has a different release character.
Elephant is a highly competitive plug-in for mastering applications:
it features a variety of limiter modes that can be deeply
customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools,
including headroom estimation and K-metering. Elephant's built-in
linear-phase oversampling is an important element in achieving
high-quality peak limiting and loudness maximization without
inter-sample overshoots.
Elephant limiter can be used for mixing and mastering of both stereo
and multi-channel music and sound material, at any standard sample
rate. Limiting process can be visualized both as gain reduction
meter and real-time graph.
