Voxengo

Voxengo Voxformer v2.0 is a multi-functional vocal channel strip plug-in designed to be a comprehensive vocal processing tool.

Description:

Voxformer is a multi-functional vocal channel strip plug-in for professional audio applications.  Combining several professional quality processing modules, Voxformer was designed to be a comprehensive solution for all your vocal processing needs – be it spoken or sung vocals.

The coolest feature of Voxformer is its one-knob vocal compressor.  Using only a single knob, you can get a tight, open and definitive professional vocal sound with an excellent articulation in no time.  You do not have to worry about common ratio and make-up gain controls since they are automatically selected by the advanced compression algorithm while attack and release parameters are stored in a mode preset.  Moreover, Voxformer features two compressors of this type, allowing you to apply either a two-band or a two-stage (serial) vocal compression.  For two-band compression Voxformer splits the audio signal into two spectral parts, by means of a crossover filter.

Voxformer also features the de-esser with selectable center frequency and threshold.  Multi-band noise gate is available, which, in a manner similar to the compressor, was designed to bring ease of tuning while providing excellent sonic results.  For those who like a saturated vocal sound, Voxformer implements a special module which applies a smooth saturation.  Another useful feature Voxformer has to offer is the presence boosting module, which you can use to add some shine and space to the vocals.

To simplify the control over these processing modules, Voxformer implements residue listening, which allows you to hear what gets removed during de-essing and noise gate operation, and what is being added by the presence module.  Beside that, almost all modules offer “mode editor” panels where you can fine-tune specific module’s operation.  In most cases this allows you to use Voxformer for processing of a wide range of instruments beside vocals.

As a finishing touch, Voxformer offers you a flexible easy-handling 5-band equalizer (pre/post selectable) with a real-time output stage fast Fourier transform (FFT) spectrum analyzer display.  Each equalizer band can be switched to a parametric, low-shelf, high-shelf filtering mode, or a low-pass or high-pass mode of a selected steepness.

Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications. According to Voxengo, the new limiter “brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without any audible “pumping” effects.”

Elephant features a variety of limiter modes that can be deeply customized, and a comprehensive set of level metering tools. Elephant limiter can be used for mixing and mastering of both stereo and multi-channel music and sound material, at any standard sample rate.

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 retails for $89. Read more…

Voxengo has introduced a new free AudioUnit and VST plug-in for Windows and Mac OS X computers.

Voxengo Sound Delay is an auxiliary multi-channel signal delaying plug-in for professional audio applications.

With Sound Delay, you can specify delay time in both milliseconds and samples, with a high level of precision. Sound Delay provides a basic signal delaying function only, without signal feedback or modulation capabilities.

Sound Delay also features internal mid/side encoding and decoding, and allows you to delay mid and side channels independently. Read more…

Voxengo has released the next version (v1.2) of Overtone GEQ, a high-quality freeware graphic equalizer in PC VST format.

Overtone GEQ is a 7-band harmonic (overtone) graphic equalizer with multi-channel support (supporting up to 8 input/output channels, host setup dependent: if you are using audio host application that conforms to VST specification of version below 2.3, 2 plug-in channels will be available only). Overtone GEQ offers extensive internal channel routing capabilities, and supports mid/side processing.

Beside equalizing, Overtone GEQ applies harmonic enhancement processing. That is why Overtone GEQ is comparably CPU-heavy: it uses 7 harmonic enhancement modules, one for each EQ band. This generates complex harmonic coloration you will probably like a lot.

Overtone GEQ conforms to VST specification version 2.4, and so it is able to interface with audio host applications in full 64-bit floating point resolution (if supported by host application).

Overtone GEQ features:

• 7-band graphic equalizing
• ± 12 dB gain range per band
• 2 graphic equalizer views
• Multi-channel processing
• Internal channel routing
• Channel grouping
• Mid/side processing
• Complex harmonic coloration
• 64-bit floating point processing
• Preset manager
• Undo/redo history
• A/B comparisons
• Context hint messages
