OVERLOUD GEMS DOPAMINE
WHEN TO USE DOPAMINE
When tracks in your project seem to lack presence and aren’t cutting through the mix, or even if
they just sound weak, then it’s worth trying
DOPAMINE . You will appreciate how vocals will get ex-
tra de fi nition and brilliance, without being overdone.
Basically, DOPAMINE is a dynamic equalizer, and the opposite to exciters, as there are no added
harmonics. That is the great advantage of this processor: it only uses harmonics that naturally
exist in the original tracks. In the opposite manner, exciters generate non-existent harmonics by
synthesizing them and often they end up adding unnatural and inharmonic frequencies due to
intermodulation.
