Voxengo has updated Elephant, a mastering limiter plug-in in PC VST format, to 2.0.

The key feature of this brickwall limiter is its transparency. Unlike many limiters, it does not adjust the dynamic structure of the processed audio material, but instead brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without any audible “pumping” effects.

With the release of version 2.0, Elephant became a highly competitive mastering product. It features a comprehensive set of level metering tools and a variety of limiter algorithms. Elephant’s built-in linear-phase oversampling is a new standard in peak limiting and loudness maximization. Elephant, also featuring a high-quality bit-depth converter with an optional noise-shaping, allows you to finish your music and audio productions with a spark.

Features:

• Transparent limiting action
• 5 limiting modes
• 7 speeds for various styles of music
• Gain reduction VU meters
• Noise-shaped bit-depth converter
• RMS and peak RMS output counters
• Automatic attack and release
• DC removal filter
• Up to 4x oversampling
• “A-to-B” comparisons
• Factory presets
• Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo-to-Stereo processing
• Sample rates up to 96 kHz
• 64-bit internal precision

Elephant v2.0 is a free update for all existing registered users of the previous Elephant version. Voxengo Elephant is also available in several bundles and as a single on-line purchase for USD 69. For more information and downloads please visit the Voxengo web site.
