The classic unmasking EQ
Hi, people. Since the last available version of this magnificent plugin is from 2013 it has been vastly improved and now also supports ARM Macs and newer operating systems. Therefore I filed this request.
INFOReveal the true potential of your mixesVitalizer is an unmasking EQ that allows you to make music and speech more comprehensible, loudness more intense, and the stereo width of songs wider. By shifting the timing of louder frequencies, soft and overlapping frequency content is made audible. Lows become more powerful and defined, while highs become vivid and brilliant.
Enhance the loudness of your musicVitalizer uses equal-loudness contours to balance the frequency spectrum of your mixes according to human hearing, which increases loudness. Due to the way Vitalizer processes audio, it’s possible to increase loudness without affecting the peak level of your mixes.
Increase width using the stereo widening circuitThe hidden gem in this EQ is the Stereo Widening circuit, which can help spread apart guitars, drums, keys, synths, and vocals. Use the Stereo Widening circuit while mastering to create a robust sense of space, or apply it to aux effect tracks to enhance stereo spatial effects.
A multitude of applicationsYou can use Vitalizer during the recording, mixing, or mastering stage of the production process. Enhance individual signals, subgroups, and your stereo bus. Provide your mixes with clarity by emphasizing the character of instruments and vocals, as well as fattening up your lows. Restore old recordings, intensify sound effects, and improve the stereo width of your music.
