IN USE: Where most plug-ins these days are designed to serve a multitude of purposes, the AX is unique in that it really serves one singular function. There’s also an additional section called ANALOG for Waves analog noise modeling and characteristics caused by hum based on power. Controls for MODE, METER, INPUT, AX MIX and OUTPUT are all easy to access and large enough to be able to tell what you’re controlling quickly. THE INTERFACE: The design of the plug-in is bold and straightforward with no guesswork needed. WHAT IT DOES: Aural Excitement! Waves’ Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter is a faithful reproduction of the original Aphex Aural Exciter used by countless engineers and producers to enhance brightness, presence and overall brightness and vibrancy on instruments and vocal tracks. The plug-in comes standard in Waves flagship Mercury bundle and is also available in TDM and Native a la carte for $250 USD. Mono and stereo components and support for up to 24bit/192khz resolution are standard. TECH SPECS: The Waves Aphex Vintage Aural exciter is available in TDM, RTAS, Audio Suite, VST and AU format for PC or MAC. If the plug-in version was anything like the original, I had to have it.

The original and rare vintage tube processor enhanced dull and lifeless tracks with vibrancy, brightness and, of course, clarity.

When I first reviewed the Waves Vintage Aural Exciter, I remembered my first days in the recording studio using the modern hardware version of the Aphex Aural Exciter – the Type C2 with big bottom. Who couldn’t use some clarity these days? Honestly.
