How to use Waves Aphex Aural Exciter so that it really sounds good

There are many ways to use this plugin like as an insert but the truth is that apart from a few isolated examples where inserting this plugin yielded good results we haven't been able to get much that's worth sharing with this technique, we use it instead as a parallel process using a common auxiliary track where we send individual tracks and stems. Used this way this plugin becomes what is popularly known as a secret weapon, try it out and let us know!!!

From the website:

Modeled on one of only a few tube-powered units ever made, the Waves Aphex Vintage Aural Exciter® plugin delivers all the unique character of the rare original hardware unit, with all the advantages of software. When it was originally introduced in the mid-1970s, the Aphex Aural Exciter brought its distinctive sound to select sessions by leading recording artists, traveling from studio to studio as an exclusive (and expensive) rental unit. A true groundbreaker, the original Aural Exciter was highly regarded for its ability to increase and enhance presence, brightness, and vibrancy on vocal and instrumental tracks alike. It was even credited as a "session player" on best-selling albums by the likes of Jackson Browne, Linda Ronstadt and James Taylor, engineered by Val Garay, who worked closely with us on the development of the plugin.
