Apr 15, 2011 11:32 AM
Waves Audio, in association with Aphex, is now shipping their modeled plugin version of the original Aphex Aural Exciter. Officially called the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter, the new plugin is based on one of the two original tube-powered prototype units developed by Aphex during the mid-1970s. The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter modeled plugin delivers all the unique character of the rare hardware unit, with all the advantages of software. The original Aural Exciter traveled from studio to studio as an exclusive (and expensive) rental unit, bringing its distinctive sound to select sessions by leading recording artists. Highly regarded for its ability to increase and enhance presence, brightness, and detail on vocal tracks and masters alike, the Aural Exciter was even credited as a hardware “session player” on popular albums by the likes of Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor. Price: $250 Native, $500 TDM
