X-cita: Analog Sound for Your Mastering
Looking for a way to add brightness and density to the final mix without making it artificial? X-cita by Elogoxa is a compact and effective VST plugin designed specifically for this purpose. Inspired by classic analog exciters, including the legendary BBE Maximizer models, this tool is designed to give your music that special “analog” charm and professional shine.
X-cita works as a delicate harmonic enhancer that helps “open up” the sound of your track. It masterfully enhances two key ranges vital for a clean and powerful mix:
Sound Enhancement: High and Low Frequencies
- High Frequencies: Add subtle brightness and airiness. This helps vocals, acoustic instruments, and percussion sound more expressive and detailed, making them more noticeable in the mix without harshness.
- Low Frequencies: Make the bass foundation more collected and substantial. The effect helps the lows sound denser, giving the track a sense of “punch” and depth, which is important for modern music styles.
This two-stage approach allows you to precisely control where and how you want to apply the effect, achieving the perfect balance for your track.
Key Features of the X-cita Plugin
In addition to its core functionality, X-cita offers convenient features for integration into your workflow:
- Independent controls for low and high frequencies.
- Bypass function for quick comparison.
- Global output volume control (Volume Out).
- Full automation of all parameters via MIDI CC.
- Moderate CPU consumption.
X-cita is an excellent choice for musicians and sound engineers looking for a simple yet effective mastering tool. It is ideal for adding the final “touch” to electronic, pop, rock, or any other music where clarity, brightness, and density of sound are important. Try X-cita and see how easy it is to take the quality of your tracks to a new level!
