The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter Plug-In is created to add brightness, vibrancy and depth to your vocal and instrumental tracks. Developed in association with Aphex, this plugin delivers all the unique character of the rare original hardware unit, with all the advantages of software.
The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter Plug-In is modeled on one of only a few tube-powered units ever made. When it was originally introduced in the mid-1970s, the Aphex Aural Exciter brought its distinctive sound to select sessions by leading recording artists, traveling from studio to studio as an exclusive (and expensive) rental unit.
A true ground-breaker, the original Aural Exciter was highly regarded for its ability to increase and enhance presence, brightness, and vibrancy on vocal and instrumental tracks alike. It was even credited as a "session player" on best-selling albums by the likes of Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, engineered by Val Garay, who worked closely with Waves on the development of the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter Plug-In.
