Hey, I'm curious if anybody could give there thoughts on the SPL Vitalizer mk2-T, or any of the Vitalizers in general. I'm a little confused about what they do exactly and I can't seem to find any sound demos of the actual hardware unit.

I think the Stereo Width thingy is one of the best ones out there.

I think the Stereo Width thingy is one of the best ones out there. Yep, I've heard a lot of great things about the stereo width. Do you know anything about some of the other features? Like the enhancement features? I really wish there were some sound samples somewhere that I could hear too. |

I've played around with it...I know some big guys used to use the hardware...but that's about all I know.

Thanks! That does explain a lot actually. Still want some sound samples thought. There is one video on YouTube of the Tube Vitalizer and it sounds pretty great. But pretty much just a glorified EQ, it seems like, with the exception of the stereo expander. |

BTW the plug in is close to the HW. Friend of mine owns both versions, close very close. Ceck also Kush Clariophonic, wow, I just passed it because 199,- for a plug in? Hard to justify, but the thing it does.... some kind of magic special if you sum ITB. |

I bought the original version a few weeks after it was released. Many, many years ago.
Used it hundreds of times for mixing and mastering.
Still use it today.
It's quite a beautiful sounding unit.
If you'd like, you can send me a stereo file and I'll put it thru the Vitalizer and send it back to ya?

mrholmes: Yep, I do need to try out the plug in. And I'll look into the Kush Clariophonic as well.

I've got a mix I'm working on right now that I will send you later. |

Ok nobtwiddler. Here is a link to a mix I just finished up today on a song I produced for my friend Bryan. Here's a good songwriter and even better singer. Comments and critiques on the mix, production, etc. are more than welcome!  I'd be interested in hearing this run through your vitalizer. link: drive.google.com/file/d/0B1GfHUFs9Eo_OGY5QlpTVHJmcGs/view?usp=sharing |

I'm curious about these, too. Also as a side note I saw John McBride at Blackbird studios recording drums using a BBE sonic maximizer and that really made me say, 'whuuut?' Maybe I should take a look at something like this. I can't say I've ever particularly found a use for one.
