4.Another interesting application is the use of the VITALIZER right after a compressor unit in the master signal chain. Using the VITALIZER before a compressor can result in more obvious side- effects of the compressor, such as pumping. It is also possible to patch the VITALIZER into the aux send system of a console in much the same way as a reverb or delay unit as long as the PROCESS SOLO switch is active. The aux return mixing stages in some consoles are designed in a more cost effective and simpler way than in the VITALIZER. That’s why it might be possible that the sonic effect of the VITALIZER sounds different when using the unit on the aux send/ return system.

Applications

Studio Application 4:

Multi-Track

Console

Master Outputs (L+R)

Recorder

Inputs (L+R)

Vitalizer Outputs

Vitalizer Inputs

Outputs (L+R)

Compressor

If used together with a compressor,the VITALIZER is to be inserted behind the compressor

5.To obtain better transparency and a full rich sound even if very long reverb-times are used, the processing of the reverb can be interesting, too. Connect the VITALIZER right after the reverb unit and feed the VITALIZER outputs to the aux returns.
