Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter

Make your tracks shine with a touch of 'air' and excitement! Back in the 70s, the Aphex Aural Exciter was like a legend. It revived the high frequencies lost during recording and playback, and was once an expensive rental item. The secret behind its ability to add sheen, brightness, and excitement is controlled 2nd - harmonic distortion. Now, Waves has replicated the original's elegant sound. You can brighten your tracks without making them overly trebly or reaching for an EQ. Key features include: developed in partnership with Aphex; provides brightness without boosting treble or adding hiss; a great tool for vocals, guitars (especially acoustic); adds spark to final masters; controlled distortion enriches tracks and masters; compensates for speakers with poor high - frequency response; breathes new life into old, dull recordings; offers two insert modes and a send/return mode for three sound qualities.

Using the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter is easy. First, decide which mode suits your needs - you can choose from two insert modes or the send/return mode. For vocals, guitars, or other instruments, just insert the exciter into your audio track. You'll notice an immediate increase in brightness and sparkle without any extra hiss or harsh treble. When working on final masters, use it to add that extra sheen and excitement. If you're using speakers with a weak high - frequency response, this exciter can help compensate for it. When dealing with old, dull recordings, it can restore their vitality. As for maintenance, keep your software updated to Waves' latest version to ensure optimal performance. Avoid using it at extremely high settings for long periods, as this might cause unwanted distortion. And that's it - enjoy making your tracks sound amazing!
