Bringing Focus to Sounds with Aphex (Tip)
Dec 24, 2013
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.
"No other plugin brings so much focus to individual sounds more than the Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter. Just bringing the Ax Mix dial up to 5 can rescue a lead from a swell of pads or make a snare more pronounced in the mix. You can really separate sounds and place them well, but remember too much of a good thing can ruin a mix."
