Fwd: Voxengo Elephant 4.0 mastering limiter plugin released [MSG-904-243-585]

February 20, 2014: Voxengo is pleased to announce the release of
Elephant version 4, 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.

Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional
music production applications. The most remarkable feature of this
signal limiter is its sonic transparency. Elephant brings sound
limiting and loudness maximization without audible â EURO oepumpingâ EURO  sonic
artifacts.

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-system 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.

Elephant, also featuring a DC offset filter, and a high-quality
bit-depth converter with an optional noise-shaping, allows you to
finish your music and audio productions with a spark!

Elephant features:

* Transparent signal limiting action
* 9 predefined limiter modes
* Limiter mode editor
* Optional release stage
* Noise-shaped bit-depth converter
* DC offset removal filter
* Waveform graph view
* Stereo and multi-channel processing
* Internal channel routing
* Channel grouping
* Up to 8x linear-phase oversampling
* 64-bit floating point processing
* Preset manager
* Undo/redo history
* A/B comparisons
* Contextual hint messages
* All sample rates support
* 22 ms compensated processing latency

Elephant 4.0, which is backwards-compatible, includes the following
changes since version 3:

* Added a new EL-4 limiter mode, with less harmonic coloration.
* Added a new Dynamic Release Control limiter stage.
* Added a new Timing limiter mode parameter.
* Added a new Release to Attack Ratio limiter mode parameter.
* Added a new Release Shape limiter mode parameter.
* Added input level meter together with the threshold mark.
* Implemented the Eval limiter's evaluation mode.
* Added the Trans View transient visualization.
* Made the In Gain and Out Gain knob ranges more practical.
* Magnified the Out Gain knob's scale around 0 dB.
* Made changes to the Trans Time parameter stutter-free.
* The output statistics are now automatically reset if any parameter
that influences the output statistics was changed.
* Added EL-4, COMPACT and EXPANDED factory limiter modes.

Introductory price of USD 99.95 will be effective for two weeks from
now, which is 15% off the regular price of USD 119.95. Upgrading
from the previous version costs USD 49.95 if previous version was
purchased earlier than 180 days from now: otherwise the upgrade is
free during this grace period. Demo version of Elephant can be
downloaded freely at the Voxengo web site:

Re: method for using voiceover and pro tools on a pro tools HDX system

2014-02-23 Thread Slau Halatyn
They should be able to work at the same time with no issues providing the OS 
does not use the Pro Tools hardware for playback. Often, people set up their 
computers to categorically use one hardware device for all system sounds 
including applications. In the Audio/MIDI Setup utility, select the Pro tools 
device that is being used for the HDX system, go to the pop-up menu and uncheck 
the option that says something like Use this device for system sounds.

I install a Plantronics w440 for client to use on their DAWs with speech.  This 
way you have the option of dedicating speech to the Plantronics wireless 
headset, giving you a professional look freedom using a wireless FM system, and 
privacy.

Yep, the USB or wireless route is also an option. Haven't done it lately but, 
under OS X, there are so many more options than there ever were under OS 9.

2014-02-23 Thread Chris Smart
Hi papaBear. While I'm a big fan of Slate Digital FGX, especially 
that transparent compressor section, I'm finding Elephant to be more 
flexible, being able to audition different algorithms to see which 
suits the material the best is great. The over-sampling gives me 
confidence that I'm not going over 0, etc.


I was a huge FGX fan until I started noticing distortion in the 
limiter that I couldn't seem to get rid of no matter what settings I 
used, especially with low frequencies.

I would like to get it for the mac, but I am only on PT 8 and that version 
does not support UA plugs with voiceover. I rarely use the PC anymore, but 
If I upgrade to PT 11 which provides access to UA plugs, I am going to

Hi Gordon,
Yes and its sounds extremely cool! :)
But the same old stuff with waves at least on pt 9.03, get the presets saved 
out to the pt side and use an external keyboard to control it.
Mike lockett told me that waves can be used in pt 11 now though.
