April 8th, 2012: Voxengo HarmoniEQ update version 2.2 is now
available for download. Voxengo HarmoniEQ, available in AudioUnit
and VST plug-in formats (including native 64-bit support), for Mac
OS X (v10.5 and later), and Windows computers, is a parametric,
harmonically-enhanced equalizer plug-in for professional music
production applications.
Note that on Mac computers, HarmoniEQ now supports Mac OS X v10.5
and higher only, running on Intel processors. Mac PowerPC support is
not available.
Version 2.2 update includes the following changes:
* -6 dB/oct low-pass and high-pass filters added.
* Window resizing implemented.
* Native 64-bit AudioUnit and VST support on Mac OS X added.
Since the easiness of tuning was one of our goals when producing
this plug-in, HarmoniEQ features a single control surface to control
the equalizer curve. HarmoniEQ’s control surface workflow implements
our best findings in the area of “user-equalizer” interaction. Just
drag the filter control points to the right places. You can enable
up to 7 parametric filters, with the filter type freely-selectable
from peaking, low-shelf, high-shelf, low-pass, high-pass and notch
filter types.
HarmoniEQ features:
* Harmonically-enhanced equalizer
* Dynamic equalizing
* Real-time spectrum analysis
* 7 parametric filter bands
* Narrow-band sweeping
* User interface window resizing
* Stereo and multi-channel processing
* Internal channel routing
* Channel grouping
* Mid/side processing
* Up to 8x oversampling
* 64-bit floating point processing
* Preset manager
* Undo/redo history
* A/B comparisons
* Contextual hint messages
* All sample rates support
* 11 ms compensated processing latency
Voxengo HarmoniEQ is available for purchase on-line for USD 79.95.

May 24th, 2010: Voxengo Deft Compressor version 1.1 update is now available for download.
Voxengo Deft Compressor is an audio track and bus compressor plug-in for professional audio production applications.
It is available in AudioUnit and VST plug-in formats, for Mac OS X and Windows computers. Version 1.1 update includes the following changes:
* Attack time range extended down to 0.01ms.
* External side-chain support added.
The characteristic feature of this compressor is its ability to produce “slim” and “slick” sounding compression, with intelligibility enhancement effect.
Such result is achieved by compressor’s timing function that closely resembles the S-curve on both attack and release stages.
The S-curve timing function means that the attack and release stages “look” like S-curve (sigmoid curve).
Such curve sonically adds a very warm coloration, without sharp edge. Beside that, S-curve on longer release times possesses a bit of “hold” time delay where it does not change.
This allows the compressor to have clean, almost uncolored higher frequencies.
Note that for bus compression to be unnoticeable you may need to set both the “Threshold” and “Ratio” parameters to lower values (e.g. “-35” and “1.3:1”, respectively, for input signal with RMS power equal to -24 dBFS).
Deft Compressor features:
* S-curve timing function * “Vintage” compression mode
* Auto make-up gain
* External side-chaining
* Multi-channel processing
* Internal channel routing
* Channel grouping
* Up to 8x oversampling
* 64-bit floating point processing
* Preset manager
* Undo/redo history
* A/B comparisons
* Contextual hint messages
* Zero processing latency
Voxengo Deft Compressor end-user license is available for purchase on-line for US$99.95.

TransGainer INTRODUCTORY PRICE IS NOW IN EFFECT!
Voxengo has released TransGainer – an audio plug-in suitable for a wide range of professional music production uses. TransGainer implements audio signal envelope adjustment algorithm that reacts on transients rather than on signal’s loudness level. This algorithm allows you to adjust volume of attack and sustain stages of any sounds you use it on. TransGainer was designed in a way to be suitable for all possible sound sources – be it individual tracks or full mixes.
In many cases TransGainer can be used in place of gate and expander plug-ins while delivering a better sound and offering an easier control. Beside that TransGainer can be used for audio recording restoration/re-mastering purposes and reverb tail modifications with excellent results.
TransGainer allows you to specify gain adjustments for sound’s transient and sustain stages separately. You can also choose an expected average time between transients so that algorithm delivers you the most precise results possible. With the help of TransGainer you can pass the border from good to excellent audio recordings.

Polysquasher INTRODUCTORY PRICE IS NOW IN EFFECT!
Voxengo Polysquasher is a mastering compressor plug-in for professional audio and sound production applications. Polysquasher was designed with a main goal: to be transparent. Transparent compression action is a cornerstone for any mastering compressor. Transparency of audio signal processing is necessary to preserve all existing elements in the mix, while compression itself is necessary to make the mix sound uniform to other mixes (tracks) and to make it sound more solid and “glued”.
Polysquasher achieves its goal by using a unique compression algorithm which requires a small number of parameters – basically threshold and ratio only – making this compressor a joy to use. More advanced settings are hidden in the “compressor mode editor” panel where you can create your own compressor modes that can be easily recalled later.
Polysquasher is best used as a finishing compressor inserted in the chain before the final mastering limiter.
Polysquasher also features real-time gain reduction and waveform graphs. Full multi-channel operation is supported.
