Voxengo releases Elephant 3.0

Version 3.0 features a lot of enhancements over the previous version: multi-platform support, multi-channel operation, wider selection of limiter modes, preset manager, and others.

Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications. According to Voxengo, the most remarkable feature of this signal limiter is its ultimate transparency. We’re told that Elephant brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without any audible “pumping” effects.

Elephant is a plug-in for mastering applications: it features a variety of limiter modes that can be customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools. Voxengo also says that Elephant’s built-in linear-phase oversampling is a new standard in quality peak limiting and loudness maximization.
