Thinking of getting myself a great exciter. 

The following came to my interest

- PSP Audioware MixTreble 2 (Part of MixPack2)
- The exciter included in Alloy 2 (w. multiband possibilities)
- Voxengo VariSatorator

- Alloy 2 comes with a lot of other features that I find pretty straight forward to use.
- However PSP MixPack got 5 of 5 at Music Radar and Alloy 2 wasn't in the list of their "best exciters"?
- Voxengo VariSatutator - Seem ok and at a good price.

Whats your opinion on these?

Thanks!

I would get the free trial version for each of these and try them out yourself. This will give you the best idea of which one suits you the best.

I found out the hard way that exciters can screw up a mix just about faster than any other plug when overused.  But for subtle use, I use either of the Isotope exciters (ozone or alloy 2). 

they are easy to use in small amounts, have a variety of options, and generally just sound good to me.  Alloy 2 in general has really become a go to for track EQ and compression for me in addition to occasional exciter use.  I love the plug.

Thanks for your input guys. 

Yeah, will download and try them out:)

I like Alloy 2s GUI, seem pretty straight forward.

Erik - don't base your decision on the GUI, base it on the SOUND!

Don't forget the Aphex from WAVES and Character from Noveltech.

PS: Bootsy has a new free one that's just out too.

Haha. yes off course;)

Add Saturn to your list.

For non-subtle effect and fat bass - Xcita, cheap and it's free.
