I just bought Elephant 3.2 yesterday because I was impressed with it when I tried the trial version. It definitely preserves the low-end as well as the transients. It doesn't thin out and flatten the drums like the L2 does. I have grown to loathe the L2 plugin over the years. However, it sometimes feels as though it has used me. A local studio I work at every now and then has the hardware L2, and it is leaps and bounds better than its plugin counterpart to me. It's not cheap though, and there are so many other pieces I have my eye on that are ahead of it in line. I have only done a few songs with the Elephant at this point. I am currently experimenting with the features. I am using 2 at the end of the Master bus. This first one is clipping a little and the other one is in the el uni mode and dithering with the noise on tdpf (sounds maybe a little more open or bright?) with the equal shaping. I haven't had a chance to read all of the manual. I'm actually about to do that now after I post. Anyone else have any setting they can recommend. I know different situations require different things, but what is your favorite starting point with this guy?
