Aphex Aural Exciter® and Big Bottom Pro TDM Plug-Ins Optimized for Pro Tools|24 MIX Systems

July 26, 1999 -- Digidesign® is distributing TDM Plug-In versions of two of Aphex's most popular products, the Aural Exciter and Big Bottom Pro. Both of these Plug-Ins are optimized for maximum performance with Digidesign Pro Tools|24 MIX™ systems (Mac only).

Using the same presence enhancing, detail restoring technology as the patented Aural Exciter hardware, the Aphex Aural Exciter TDM Plug-In enhances clarity, speech intelligibility and detail without significantly increasing peak output. Easy-to-use, intuitive controls help users quickly achieve the desired results, and many parameters are automatable.

Big Bottom Pro is a bass enhancement TDM Plug-In for Pro Tools. Modeled on the Big Bottom circuit first made available in the Aphex Model 104, Big Bottom Pro works on bass end frequencies to add low-end presence and punch without adding peak level. The result is increased bass presence that won't overload systems or blow out speakers.

Both Aural Exciter and Big Bottom Pro can be used together to enhance the entire audio spectrum. Aural Exciter delivers six channels per DSP chip on Pro Tools|24 Mix systems (six mono or three stereo), while Big Bottom Pro delivers 11 channels. These Plug-Ins are also compatible with "classic" PCI-based DSP Farm cards and NuBus-based DSP Farms.

The suggested retail price of the Aural Exciter TDM Plug-In is $495 and Big Bottom Pro is $349.
