Voxengo Elephant VST 2.5 released

[Aleksey Vaneev]

Version update 2.5 of Voxengo Elephant--a mastering limiter plug-in in PC VST format--is now available for download. This version implements the following changes: Metering mode selection now includes K-20, K-14 and K-12 systems; metering mode selection is now local instead of global.



Beside that, Butterworth DC (high-pass) filter performance has been fixed (previously it was not working as it should work).

Voxengo Elephant is a brickwall limiter with a variety of limiter modes that offer transparent action for almost any kind of program material. Voxengo Elephant features up to 4 times linear-phase oversampling that blocks intersample overshoots from appearing. Noise-shaped bit-depth conversion is available as well.

Voxengo Elephant features:

* Transparent limiting action
* 8 limiter 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

* "A-to-B" comparisons
* Factory presets
* Mono-to-Stereo, Stereo-to-Stereo processing

Didn't it used to support "Sample rates up to 192 kHz"?

[Aleksey Vaneev]

electro, generally, no. It does support 192 kHz, but only with noise-shaping disabled.

Wicked! Can you give any info on the different metering modes? I'm not familar with those terms.
