It's also rather good at adding bite to instruments needing attack, like picked bass, close-miked snare drums or loops needing something extra. By contrast, MIX2 is very dependent on the mix blend, allowing you to achieve a midrange boost with high-frequency dip, as well as more obvious broad treble boost. The two mix modes differ in that MIX1 the cleaner parallel option scoops out the signal around the 1. Something's missing… Aphex's Aural Exciters have come in various forms over the years, but Waves' emulation is based on the very first design, which was valve-based and behaved differently in insert and aux configurations.

Now listen to our audio demo to hear the Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter in action on: Aural pleasure The essence of the Aphex effect are extra esciter and third harmonics, and as mentioned, these only really kick in for fundamental frequencies above Hz.

It's also rather good at adding bite to instruments needing attack, like picked bass, close-miked snare drums or loops needing something extra. The two mix modes differ in that MIX1 the cleaner parallel option scoops out the signal around the 1.

Both options make fine-tuning the results much easier. Aphxe contrast, MIX2 is very dependent on the mix blend, allowing you to achieve a midrange boost with high-frequency dip, as well as more obvious broad treble boost.

This included a shift to fully solid-state electronics, ultimately culminating in the off-the-shelf hardware products that are still available to buy today. But a little goes a long way, and you'll find traditional EQ is more suitable for master buss duties.

Cons No Big Bottom feature.

However, as Aphex developed their solid-state units, features and flexibility increased. Then the same process using MIX2 mode.

By contrast, Tune limits the effected frequencies by adjusting the high-pass filter's cutoff frequency. This was particularly useful back in the day for pepping up signals that had become dull due to multiple generations of tape dubbing. As you might expect from an old-school piece of kit, controls are simple, with the main knobs being Input, Output and Mix levels. Useful new insert mode. However, Waves have incorporated idiosyncrasies from the original into their design.

The first controls the amount of harmonics generated, and so effectively acts as an additional drive control. Meters can be calibrated.

Note the non-linear response. As alhex push the input harder, more of the frequency spectrum is affected and higher-order harmonics generated. A few sonic idiosyncrasies to learn.

On later Aphex units, you'll find two controls - Harmonics and Tune - that are not vintge the vintage version. Convenient emulation of rare hardware. Adjustable noise and selectable hum.

While "Aural Excitement" isn't quite so vital nowadays, Waves have done a good job in bringing it to plug-in users.

Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter review

Modern Aural Exciters are just as popular for their Big Bottom circuit, which delivers bass punch without excessive flabbiness. This rare valve-based design first gained popularity among pro users as a rental-only unit, prompting further developments through the late s. First some full kit with edciter effect, then full kit with some effect added to kick, snare top, toms and accent crash.

Then the same using MIX2 except after bypass compare, winding the mix back down again. Other success came when inserting the Aphex across our bussed electric guitars, generating some added bite but without the general boost associated with EQ. Therefore, exciters tend to work best in small doses, and the Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter is no exception. Pros Good for air and sparkle. The Mode knob offers four options, including Bypass, which still colours the signal subtly, like the real unit. As its name implies, the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter is an exciter, and it adds a treble 'sheen' to any signal.

Aphex's Aural Exciters have come in various forms over the years, but Waves' emulation is based on the very first design, which was valve-based and behaved differently in insert and aux configurations. The essence of the Aphex effect are extra second and third harmonics, and as mentioned, these only really kick in for fundamental frequencies above Hz.
