SPL® Vitalizer MK2-T
-
Add clarity and life to your mixes with this tube-based processor.
The SPL Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is a spot-on emulation of the popular tube-based Vitalizer MK2-T hardware unit, a longtime staple of top mixing and post-production facilities.
Employed as both a fixative and an enhancement tool, the Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in shapes sounds in a musical and effective way, bringing life to tracks and buses, enhancing loudness, widening the soundscape, and adding harmonic depth and richness.Now you can:
Easily create wider, clearer mixes
Add tube presence and harmonics to individual tracks or an entire mix
Bring out instruments and vocals and easily place them in the mix
Increase loudness and clarity by “unmasking” overlapping sounds
“I absolutely love the UAD SPL Vitalizer... I'm able to create much wider and clearer mixes with this amazing tool.”

Widening with mojo!
Vitalizer is a special plugin for doing stereo widening, because some mojo makes things more effective than a typical widening. I agree it can sound thin and labored, but that's what we do...

Vitalizer is a special plugin for doing stereo widening, because some mojo makes things more effective than a typical widening. I agree it can sound thin and labored, but that's what we do to reach a mix :) I may not trust it on master buss, but for mixing it's an A+ tool. Check out the user manual!

Not hearing much impact
Compared to the version from Alliance the impact of the one from UAD is quite marginal. You can hear a difference only when everything at max. Disappointing. Or am I not using it right ?

Pretty mixed feelings.
When I auditioned this one it did add something nice to the tracks I used it on, so I bought it. But the more and more I use it I'm just not hearing enough of impact to make me want to use up DSP resources. Kind of wish I had bought the SPL Twin Tube instead.

V. Stilu
Awesome
I didn’t compare it directly to the hardware which I use to work with years ago but I love the way how I can adjust the sound and get brilliance out of a single track or the stereo mix.

Best Sub Management on the market
This is what you need to enhance, and manage your subs. Fantastic.

Amazing! Blows the Plugin Alliance version out of the water.
Don't own it yet but have demoed it many many times, and will be buying. I compared it with the Plugin Alliance version and they are quite different. Sounds a little subtle at first but I've you listen for a bit it's actually quite significant. I've never used the actual hardware but the UAD really has that tube warmth and sweet deep smooth bottom end, which was really lacking in the Plugin Alliance. I just felt like Plugin Alliance sounded digital and UAD sounds analog.

Old tapes to the digital domain...
So I have been trying to resurrect old recordings from the '60's and this gives a good nudge in the right direction.

Sounds like a mixed record
Amazing for enhancing the stereo width of a mix. Place it on your stereo bus and discrete elements immediately start to sound like a mixed record.

An excellent device for giving your mix that sparkle. And great for polishing bass.
J. Levesque
Does the trick!!!
Lovin' it, thanks for the coupons! Great on spreading the sound...mostly using it on acoustic guitars & final mix down. Well worth it!
