In this free video tutorial, brought to you with the support of Waves, you will learn how to add shimmer and sparkle to drum and vocal tracks using Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter plug-in. The original hardware unit was not mass produced, however, it was very sought after in the 1970s. The effect of the Aphex Aural Exciter is very pleasing as it boosts top-end energy in tracks in ways that no EQ can achieve. Watch the video to hear how the drums in the example breathe better in the mix and how the vocals bite more with small amounts of the Aphex Aural Exciter effect applied.
