It is not necessary to use VOX if the TX command is configured correctly in MMTTY. I run MMTTY direct and do not use N1MM+ or other applications. The reason for me NOT using VOX is that I use VOX for other operations and don't like having to change the VOX settings for MMTTY. Of course if one doesn't use VOX for SSB then set the values for MMTTY and carry on.
I make thousands of RTTY and WSJT-X QSOs a year. For many years, I've used nothing but VOX to key my ancient K3s for SSB and all digital modes (RTTY and WSJT-X). Elecraft remember a lot of settings by band and mode, so once I've set them, levels have never been a problem for me. I'm using a good USB audio interface designed for semi-pro audio applications, a Tascam US100 (long discontinued, available at the great auction site). That improves decoding as compared to the built-in sound of many computers, but that's all it changes.
BTW -- with a K3 and no built-in USB, using VOX rather than a "pull to ground" PTT reduces by one the number of cables between computer and radio, and a second USB port in the radio.
