OVERLOUD GEMS VOICE
DELAY
This module creates a warm stereo delay, designed as a replacement of long reverbs according
to the most recent mixing trends. You can use this e
ff ect with short times to add room early re-
fl ections, or with mid times to improve the SPACE environment e ff ect. Using uncorrelated delay
times allows to add an extra depth to the recreated space.
MIX - Adjusts the balance between dry (direct) and wet (processed) signal.
TIME - Adjusts the delay time. You optionally can turn the BPM sync on clicking the note button
close to the TIME control, and use the knob to select the wanted BPM synced division.
DISPLAY
This graphic display shows has two views: EQ and COMP, showing EQUALIZER and COMPRESSOR
curves respectively.
You can switch the view with the EQ and COMP buttons, or select AUTO to have the views
switched automatically when you move the mouse cursor over one of the involved modules.
This is particularly useful when you are searching for a balance between both modules action,
‘cause you don’t have to continuously switch view manually.
EQ - When the EQ view is selected, two curves
are drawn. The spectral content, which is the
real time moving
fi lled area showing the
amounts of all frequencies, and the fi lter
curve which describes how the EQUALIZER
module is intervening on the harmonic con-
tent to adjust it.
COMP - When the COMP view is selected, you can see the level curve on the lower side, and the
COMPRESSOR gain reduction level on the top side. This way you can easily correlate how the
compression is responding to the level peaks. The more compression you ask for, the more the
gain reduction “inverse” peak will counterbalance the level peaks.
MASTER
The last module of the GEM VOICE is the MASTER which includes two sections: LIMITER and OUT-
PUT.
LIMITER - Adjusts the amount of output limiter, which allows to control peaks without clipping
them. The limiter threshold is always 0dBFS and no samples will go over the 0dBFS if the limiter
is switched on.
MONO / STEREO - Selects the kind of output: stereo or mono.
OUTPUT LEVEL - The two master faders adjust the fi nal output level, after the limiter action.
LINK - Optionally links the output faders together.
39
When the EQ view is selected, the fi lter curve is shown with 4 col-
ored interactive circles. The circle colors correspond to the EQ band
knob colors. You can drag the circles to adjust the equalization (the
EQ knobs will move accordingly) and evaluate the processing in real
time. This feature lets you edit the EQ curve right where it needs to.
