When it was originally introduced in the mid-1970s, the Aphex AuralExciter® brought its distinctive sound to select sessions by leadingrecording artists, traveling from studio to studio as an exclusive (andexpensive) rental unit.
A true ground-breaker, the original Aural Exciter was highly regardedfor its ability to increase and enhance presence, brightness, andvibrancy on vocal and instrumental tracks alike. It was even credited asa "session player" on best-selling albums by the likes of JacksonBrowne, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, engineered by Val Garay, whoworked closely with us on the development of the plugin.
Modeled on one of only a few tube-powered units ever made, the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter plug-in delivers all the unique character of the rare original hardware unit, with all the advantages of software.
