Voxengo has announced the release of version 4 of Elephant, a mastering limiter effect plugin for Windows and Mac.

Voxengo Elephant 4

Voxengo Elephant is a mastering limiter plug-in for professional music production applications. The most remarkable feature of this signal limiter is its sonic transparency. Elephant brings sound limiting and loudness maximization without audible “pumping” sonic artifacts.
