Aphex Aural Exciter® and Big Bottom
Pro TDM Plug-Ins Optimized for Pro Tools|24 MIX Systems
July 26, 1999 Digidesign® is distributing TDM Plug-In versions
of two of Aphex's most popular products, the Aural Exciter and Big Bottom
Pro. Both of these Plug-Ins are optimized for maximum performance with
Digidesign Pro Tools|24 MIX™ systems (Mac only).
Using the same presence enhancing, detail restoring technology as the
patented Aural Exciter hardware, the Aphex Aural Exciter TDM Plug-In enhances
clarity, speech intelligibility and detail without significantly increasing
peak output. Easy-to-use, intuitive controls help users quickly achieve
the desired results, and many parameters are automatable.
Big
Bottom Pro is a bass enhancement TDM Plug-In for Pro Tools. Modeled on
the Big Bottom circuit first made available in the Aphex Model 104, Big
Bottom Pro works on bass end frequencies to add low-end presence and punch
without adding peak level. The result is increased bass presence that
won't overload systems or blow out speakers.
Both Aural Exciter and Big Bottom Pro can be used together to enhance
the entire audio spectrum. Aural Exciter delivers six channels per DSP
chip on Pro Tools|24 Mix systems (six mono or three stereo), while Big
Bottom Pro delivers 11 channels. These Plug-Ins are also compatible with
"classic" PCI-based DSP Farm cards and NuBus-based DSP Farms.
The suggested retail price of the Aural Exciter TDM Plug-In is $495 and
Big Bottom Pro is $349. For more information, visit the Aphex web site at www.aphex.com. |
