Wow, getting this CA-2A Limiter made my week !! I tried it out on a couple test recordings I have and they sounded great !!! Thanks a lot Cakewalk !!!!!!!!
 
This weekend has been awesome. First, Waves sent me a notice that their Aphex Aural Exciter was on sale, knocked down from $299 to $89...I was just looking for an exciter the other day, so I grabbed it. Then I get the notice from Cakewalk for the free CA-2A....regular price about $99 bucks....so bottom line is I scored $400 worth of plugins for $89 bucks !!!!! These two plugins will make a permanent improvement to my mixes !!! I'm stoked !!!!
 

Geez, I use the Free CW Exciter, It's truly Bad Booty! :)
 
Peace! :)

I'm glad you like it. I'm just getting back into using exciters, and I wanted the Aphex one, because it emulated the original tube exciter. Years ago, they were only available for rental by the minute.... !!!! I haven't done an A/B test between the two, so I can't say which one I like better, but I do really like the Aphex. When I saw the sale price of $89 down from the $299 regular price, it became a no brainer for me.

Wave's has great sales and I hear you on getting a tube exciter plug :) Seems like I have too may plugins now and CW keeps expanding the PhoCh... I think my head explodes once a month now... the exciter has been my favorite plug... I love the sand... Think I should at least look at the Aphex.
 
peace!

I just did an A/B test between the CW Exciter vrs the Aphex Exciter...I paired them both with the CA-2A.
 
My favorite is the Aphex with the CA-2A.
 
I did well by buying it while it was on sale, now it's listed for $299 again.
 
I have a long history with Aphex. I dj'ed for 2 years, and had an Aphex Aural Exciter with Big Bottom in my dj rig. I A/B 'ed it many times and always chose the Aphex over no effect. My dj rig sounded fabulous and I played to a packed house for two year. Got lot's of compliments on the sound quality. It never failed me, not even once, it always sounded great on all my music. So when I saw the Vintage Aphex Aural Exciter plug-in on sale I jumped on it.

Now only if that Reason Rack Extension was free............

I was going to ask if this was part of the gifting...guess not.

Edit: Where are my manners? Thank you Cakewalk!

You are OK. In addition to being free for everyone, it is an updated version for existing owners.

is there anywhere to read what the updates are?   thx Scook.

Is there a secondary step I need to take? When I click 'get it free' after filling in my info, nothing happens.

I had the same problem and it was a "pop up blocker" setting in Firefox or Explorer. (Can't remember which one I used.)

Thanks, got it on a different PC.
 
Thanks to Cakewalk too!
