With its zero-latency processing, Vitamin caters to studio and live mix engineers alike. To top it all off, when Vitamin is in stereo mode, each band has a width control that lets you create wider sound images or make room for a vocal right in front of the mix – a great tool for mastering. Control over the crossover frequency points between bands.

Waves Vitamin Sonic Enhancer: In-Depth Plugin Tutori.

With its zero-latency processing, Vitamin caters to studio and live mix engineers alike.
Vitamin’s controls are intuitive, easy to use and immediately responsive, letting you smooth or accentuate punchiness and dynamics, determine the crossover frequency points between the plugin’s five bands, and control the mix of the direct signal with its enhanced version.
A ‘One Knob’ Multiband Enhancer
And exciters, but Vitamin’s easy controls and processes make it one to check out. There are better-sounding multiband exciters, but Vitamin’s easy controls and processes make it one to check out.
It separates the input signal into five configurable bands, each one centring on a big slider that raises and lowers the amount of saturation, EQ and compression. Bandwidths are set using the display above the sliders, which also shows response curves and gives a coloured spectrum-analyser-style display of the frequencies being added. Additionally, each band includes a very useful stereo width processor that’s particularly handy for narrowing bass content.
Although Waves isn’t specific about what’s really going on under the hood, it sounds to us like the EQ, saturation and compression levels are controlled by the sliders, while the stereo width of each band is controlled separately. Vitamin is an additive effect, so it’s essential to avoid overloading the internal sections or the output stage, to which end it includes stereo input as well as output meters, and gain controls. There’s also a Direct control for setting the amount of dry signal mixed in, offering more flexibility than a simple wet/dry mix pot.
In effect, these function as global ‘amount’ knobs, for increasing or reducing the overall effect once you’ve set your desired balance.
Healthy Outlook
It’s very satisfying at first but can result in over- compression and loss of clarity if not handled with care – although it looks like a regular exciter, it isn’t really meant to be used like one. This confluence of effects probably also explains why boosting with it can sound a little harsh compared to other multiband exciters.
