Explore a Legendary Mix-Finishing Tool

Since its debut in the 1990s, the SPL Vitalizer has been a secret weapon for engineers around the world. The MK3-T version combines Class A circuitry with tube warmth for adding clarity, depth, and air to any track. Now, you can get that same analog brilliance in your DAW with meticulous component-level modeling and enhanced features for your modern workflow.

Dial in Huge Sound Instantly

Pull up the SPL Vitalizer MK3-T plug-in and hear mixes and individual tracks come to life. Use the Drive control to dial in rich harmonic content, the Bass section to tighten low frequencies, and the Mid-Hi Tune control to add smooth top-end presence.

Access Tube Warmth with Digital Precision

Choose between the original MK2-T and enhanced MK3-T models for everything from subtle harmonic color to transparent enhancement. Each mode gives you access to SPL’s signature warmth and clarity, so your vocals, drums, synths, or full mixes burst through the speakers.

Enhanced for Your Modern Productions

Every channel of Vitalizer MK3-T gives you the subtle variations of real analog hardware, with added depth and stereo realism thanks to Tolerance Modeling Technology (TNT) by Brainworx. Plus, plug-in-only features like Mono Maker and Stereo Expander give you precise control unmatched by the original unit.

    More delicate then the previous version

    I really like the previous version but got this one because it is gentler in its processing. The old one is like the sledgehammer, this one is like a jeweler's tool. When you want to fix this annoying "something" in your mix this is your tool. Just a bit of extra bass, hard edged bass, smooth out the bass, add sparkle or air, tweak the mid honky sound, this tool is like a spice rack with special mojo that EQ and compression alone can't do.

    non-scalable GUI size

    The non-scalable GUI size unfortunately prevents me as a UAD2 DSP user from using this plugin, because everything is extremely small. In this form it is unusable for me.
