Get this

[FINi]

What are the differences between A and B and Overloud dopamine? Does anyone know who is better?

[FINi]

Someone said Waves Vintage Aural Exciter is a better Type B? About taste?

[jngnz]

Google the Dolby trick.

[MrFigg]

Somebody on the Audiothing Discord channel mentioned he used Type A on acoustic guitar. That's what made me interested. Just tried it and it certainly does nice things. Not sure I really need an exciter though. But then we're back to the classic..."it's only a tenner more for both."

‘Cause I only have Type B and it’s a mighty fine exciter. No need for Waves here. 
So I would appreciate you telling me about Type A

I can now tell you that I got it becasue it makes my acoustic guitar shine and shimmer. Beautiful overtones.

I've read up on exciter plugins, but what are the real world scenarios you tend to use them in? I seem to recall an example being adding sparkle to an acoustic guitar. But do you just tend to try it when a mix is lacking luster or do you tend to try it whenever you have certain instruments in the mix to see how it can affect things?

I demo'ed these a while back, was quite underwhelmed with them tbh, bit bland and one dimensional imo.

I sometimes put Overloud Dopamine (a similar Dolby-style plugin) on the master bus - it gives everything a nice sparkle. It's best used subtly though, or can lead to ear fatigue. I set it up to how it sounds good, and then back off a tiny bit. Then I wait a day or so for my ears to reset and then listen again to the mix.

I actually just got this and have no real experience with any other exciters either. I'm planning on trying it instead of EQ or saturation whenever I would usually go for some kind of high frequency boost. Just another flavour.

Of course, is there any other way? ?

I’m not so excited about the exciter but type a is great.
