I have some old tapes that I have digitized as best I can but they
were originally recorded pretty dull. I was thinking about using an
'exciter' plugin to brighten them up some. Can anyone recommend a
plugin that will do the trick for not too much?

I don't know about plugins, but you can buy a used Aural Exciter or
Sonic Maximizer for cheap, then resell it for more than you paid when
you are finished with it.

However, if you are talking about a tape... make SURE you have a good
transcription with correct azimuth on playback and the correct head
configuration before you do anything else.
