FINi Posted Sunday at 03:48 PM Share Posted Sunday at 03:48 PM What are the differences between A and B and Overloud dopamine? Does anyone know who is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFigg Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM Share Posted Sunday at 04:41 PM Somebody on the Audiothing Discord channel mentioned he used Type A on acoustic guitar. That's what made me interested. Just tried it and it certainly does nice things. Not sure I really need an exciter though. But then we're back to the classic..."it's only a tenner more for both."

Thanks ‘Cause I only have Type B and it’s a mighty fine exciter. No need for Waves here. So I would appreciate you telling me about Type A 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to recall an example being adding sparkle to an acoustic guitar. But do you just tend to try it when a mix is lacking luster or do you tend to try it whenever you have certain instruments in the mix to see how it can affect things?

Mr No Name Posted Sunday at 10:12 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:12 PM I demo'ed these a while back, was quite underwhelmed with them tbh, bit bland and one dimensional imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes put Overloud Dopamine (a similar Dolby-style plugin) on the master bus - it gives everything a nice sparkle. It's best used subtly though, or can lead to ear fatigue. I set it up to how it sounds good, and then back off a tiny bit. Then I wait a day or so for my ears to reset and then listen again to the mix. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually just got this and have no real experience with any other exciters either. I'm planning on trying it instead of EQ or saturation whenever I would usually go for some kind of high frequency boost. Just another flavour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
