Elephant 3 seems a big improvement over 2, with it's increased tweak-ability and better LP oversampling.
I agree though that the led meters take a bit of getting used to; I preferred the Elephant 2 meters; you could really see when just the transients were being suppressed and when the body of the music was being limited; 3 is less obvious. I understand the concept of standardizing the various plugin interfaces, but in this case, I liked the old metering system better.
Still, Aleksey deserves major kudos for his continued improvements on so many excellent products, and all at very reasonable prices.
Can't wait for a 5+ band linear phase dynamic EQ and/or compressor with thresholds, if he ever chooses to make one. Soniformer is nice, but tricky to work with, especially the attack and release settings in relation to the peak/env and 'fluffy' settings, and you can only define one threshold (per band); also, it doesn't seem to be LP.
still:
Voxengo rocks!
