Overloud GEM Dopamine
2 Signal Enhancer Plugins
The New Way To Enhance Your Tracks
Overloud's GEM Dopamine is the emulation of two classic tape encoding processors, used as enhancers.
It is designed to revive individual tracks as well as complex mixes while preserving their natural tone.
Dopamine does not introduce unpleasant artifacts like the exciters do: in fact it dynamically balances the harmonics that naturally exist in the original audio rather than generating non-existent harmonics by synthesizing them.
How Does It Work?
Dopamine is a particular kind of enhancer used in early forms of magnetic tapes noise reduction.
The tape was encoded by dynamically brightening the signal then, while playing back, the tape was decoded by taking off the extra brightness and, consequently, reducing the the tape hiss.
The audio engineers realized that the tape encoding process was a desirable effect on many kind of audio so they started to use this process in parallel with the original tracks to add livelines, dopamine replicates this process.
