Excite Your Drum Loops with the Aphex Exciter (Tip)
Mar 10, 2014
Tricks of the Mix: Find out how to bring that extra something to your mix using Waves plugins, brought to you by Waves Artists, Product Specialists and enthusiasts like yourself.
Thanks to the Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter, lifeless drum loops are no longer my nightmare. Put the mode in Mix 1, crank the AX Mix to about 6.5, and adjust your input and output accordingly (I like them in the red!) Hear the lost backbeat come to life, and then add a little noise for some color.
