Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter
Hello,
I have been using the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter plugin and this thing is just great! A lot of people seem to run it: EQ -> Exciter -> Comp Looking for feedback on different ways that people have used this plug. I just used it on a hot guitar ( Joe Satriani style playing) and it added that something special to the sound. I don't think this is what it was intended for but damn what a great added touch to the sound. Any stories about ways you have used this plug?

Re: Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter
Its best to simply try each order and see what happens. My personal preference is to run any "clarity" plugin last so the compressor doesn't undo the intended effect. when I say "clarity" plugin, I'm referring to anything that adds hi-end "air" which would include the aphex, as well as any Pultec model or the Maag EQ's AIR band But just because that's how I like to run, doesn't mean its the best method for you

Re: Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter
Great point. I have it last in the guitar signal path most of the time. Yesterday it went:
Guitar DI into the board --> Waves GTR --> Eddie Kramer Guitar --> Aural Exciter. I was just super impressed with the sound. I'm still on TDM so the delay was not an issue. Tony

Re: Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter
You should also try using the exciter FIRST plug in the chain, because as your guitar strings age they tend to lose high end crispness, so if dialled right you could bring them back to life with it -- then use normal processing with your "new strings sound"

Re: Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter
Thanks Augusta for this thread. Love the ideas and have to try this out this weekend The Aural Exciter is a very nice software and worth using much more than we have but as this thread says, the options are making the audio sound cool by using the plugin in various ways so this is a great thread. Keep it going and I will add after trying out some new thoughts tonight.
