Weiss Exciter

About

Weiss Exciter is a mastering and metering plugin by Softube. It adds harmonic content to audio, so the added harmonics are meant to feel like part of the original sound. Its features include adaptive non-linearity, a Mastering switch, pre- and post-filtering, and four Harmonics Modes.

What it sounds like

The harmonics are added with little EQ effect and without heavy distortion, for a subtle, transparent enhancement of vibrancy and crispness. Adaptive Mode keeps the harmonics from becoming too few, which gives no effect, or too many, which makes the audio sound grainy, distorted or harsh.

Features

• Adaptive non-linearity keeps harmonics consistent across signal levels
• Mastering switch reduces the fundamental frequency in the distortion
• Precise pre- and post-filtering for targeting areas of the mix
• Four mathematically designed Harmonics Modes
• Phase-compensated filters avoid phase cancellation with the original audio
• Adaptive Mode keeps harmonics in the sweet spot
