SPL® Vitalizer MK2-T
-
Add clarity and life to your mixes with this tube-based processor.
The SPL Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces is a spot-on emulation of the popular tube-based Vitalizer MK2-T hardware unit, a longtime staple of top mixing and post-production facilities.
Employed as both a fixative and an enhancement tool, the Vitalizer MK2-T plug-in shapes sounds in a musical and effective way, bringing life to tracks and buses, enhancing loudness, widening the soundscape, and adding harmonic depth and richness.Now you can:
Easily create wider, clearer mixes
Add tube presence and harmonics to individual tracks or an entire mix
Bring out instruments and vocals and easily place them in the mix
Increase loudness and clarity by “unmasking” overlapping sounds
“I absolutely love the UAD SPL Vitalizer... I'm able to create much wider and clearer mixes with this amazing tool.”

Amazing on Acoustic Guitars
This plug in provided the X factor for my mix of acoustic guitars. I tried the demo on them and had to purchase after hearing the results!

Still Amazing
We would just say it reminds us so much of the Hardware Version, we have in our Rack. Maybe the Tube Glue on the HW is a bit warmer - but it is very close. Fantastic. Thanks UAD....

One of my best choices

Amazing Tool
This ‘thing’ sounds absolutely amazing…I’d been using the PA version for quite some time but the UAD one sounds completely different, so now I own both. Love it to bits.
G. Creasor
Sounds really good!
So far I’ve used the Vitalizer on guitars … sounds fantastic!

space enhancer
Im using Vitalizer mostly for the vocals and mix buss stems, its amazing how you can expand the space and make your mix bigger.

Less is more
I've been eyeing this plug for sometime now, so i finally took the plunge! First things first, it's a brilliant mastering plug, the stereo enhancement is the best, most natural that I've heard in my many years, the bass adjustment section is also brilliant. The Mid-Hi Tune and LC-EQ can create some useful glimmer and body, but should be used sparingly, in fact, that's really the key to whole plug, when the different sections are sprinkled lightly over the mix, they add an extra wow factor. Due to my mistrust of what these type of enhancers may do to my precious mixdowns, I held off buying anything like it for too long, needless to say, it's going on everything from now on, sprinkled sparingly of course!

Meh.
I played around with this for hours. Tried it on female vocals, snare, and the mix buss. Sounded good on the snare (Crips Snare preset) but not on the others. Added distortion and muddiness. It was either too subtle as to make no difference, or too strong as to be unusable. Maybe more for hard rock or rap or something, but not for pop. 2 stars for the Crisp Snare.

XPL Vitalizer Pushes past the edges
So, I have used this on Main Out w/ Luna. This gear can really widen the sound. Easy to use but still very tweak-able for those who need to turn knobs. What amazed me was, after I bounced a song out and air dropped to my phone ( for those don’t know, laying your phone on its side, make music/audio sound better) the higher frequencies were going way past the ends of the phone.
Demo it, glad I did.

Sound is broken (lacks midrange) - fix only has been rolled out to the native version
This Plugin has been developed by the same people as the Plugin Alliance Version. However, to my surprise (opposed to - say - the SPL TwinTubes), the Plugin Alliance and UAD versions do not null out, they are different (no matter the sample rate). Further Investigation revealed that the Plugin Alliance Version had a "Sound issues" fix in version 1.6.2 which apparently never got rolled out to the UAD platform. Comparing them by ear revealed that the Plugin Alliance Version is capable of adding sweet sounding midrange which totally lacks in the UAD Version.

Great Stuff!
Great Stuff and a real god sound !

Great for mastering
I generally use it on my master bus or in my mastering projects to tighten lows and and adding stereo width. Great tool.

SPL Vitalizer MK2-T Review
Never heard of this plugin until I saw Ali mixing YG, TY Dolla Sign, and Gunna! I could hear the difference on my cheap Dell laptop! I ended up investing into this product and now I am a firm believer that the guys over at SPL and Universal audio really know what their doing when it comes to hardware development and software emulation!

Solid
Demo'd the Vitalizer and really enjoyed it. Sounds great on a lot of sources, from master buss to taking the mids in individual tracks. A must have.
L. Newell
Put this on your lead vox buss
And it will change your life. Adds a shine. Sometimes use it on my master buss and it widens so subtly. Very pretty sounding.
