AnalogX N-8078 - Green Day "Dookie" Preamp Emulation (NAM/GENOME/NAM UNIVERSAL)
The AnalogX N-8078 - Green Day Dookie Preamp Emulations are inspired by and pay homage to the legendary preamps that helped shape the raw, iconic sound of Green Day’s landmark Dookie album. This NAM-based emulation meticulously recreates the spirit of the actual preamps used to track the drums on every song from the album, capturing the aggressive, punchy tone that defined the record’s unforgettable energy.

The N-8078 console, often referred to as the β€œBritish powerhouse,” became a staple in top-tier studios across the world for its warm, analog depth and exceptional clarity. The console’s preamps are renowned for their ability to capture a drum kit’s dynamic range while adding a rich, analog saturation that gives recordings the weight and grit needed for a driving punk rock sound. It’s no surprise that the N-8078 was chosen to bring Green Day’s breakthrough album to life.

For the Dookie sessions, these preamps were key in achieving the tight, punchy, and explosive drum sound that remains iconic in the punk rock scene. By channeling the raw energy of the original recordings, our AnalogX N-8078 Emulations bring that same vibe directly into your studio, offering you the chance to harness the tone of one of the most influential records of the 90s.

At AnalogX, we’ve painstakingly recreated the essence of the preamp, ensuring every nuance of the original analog hardware is emulated in a transformative manner, bring you the emulated sound of the past with all the benefits that digital mixing brings. Whether you're working on a new rock project or looking to inject some authentic punk energy into your mixes, we hope you'll agree that this preamp will give you that powerful, tight, and aggressive tone that made Dookie such an unforgettable album.

With our N-8078 - Green Day Dookie Preamp Emulation, you can now experience the same analog warmth and punch, all within your digital setup. By paying homage to the classic hardware and honoring the unmistakable drum sound of Green Day’s Dookie, we’ve delivered a powerful tool for adding authentic rock edge to your productions.

This high-resolution approach guarantees that your audio will benefit from the detailed, transparent, yet warm and harmonically rich quality that made the console famous.

We have utilised the latest NAM modelling because we can now profile at 96k, this has brought a dramatic improvement to the NAM captures and all our new NAM profiles now are artifact free and sound absolutely fantastic, I'm sure you'd agree that it's like moving from SD to HD ;-)

Included:

N-8078 Console Preamp Emulation

To maximize the performance of our emulations, please follow these guidelines:

Maintain Optimal Input Levels: Utilize the 18dBFS average rule when interfacing with Genome or BYOD to ensure the profile receives the correct level before adjusting the gain. Tools like Hornet VU can help manage your levels effectively.

Start with Default Gain Settings: Begin with the Genome main gain set to 0 (fully left). This starting point mirrors the associated gain parameter on your hardware. Increase the gain as needed and adjust the output level accordingly.

Increase the gain as needed and adjust the output level accordingly. You may need to adjust the output gain in Genome to realign low or high end balance if the profile is marked as "Parametric". The process is easy once you understand how it works. With EQ it is just like analog, less is more! but as always, use you ears ;-)

Hey Stu! You ever thought about capturing multiple channels of that console (like at least 6) as well as the mix bus?
  Member 6.03.2016 253

Hi, these were preamps taken from the console and into custom made powered units, so unfortunately that wasn't an option on this project.

Hi Stu, your products are good but the website is a total mess. No Words about what’s going to happen if we buy say series 4 yet maybe tomorrow there will be series 5, 6 and 7.
I know this I not my business but this makes me angry because there is so much potential yet it comes across like you couldn’t wait to release something that’s finished but instead drop new β€žversionsβ€œ every couple weeks which makes it look unprofessional, like a hobby product and reminds me of the messes from Acoustica Audio.

What happens with people who bought older versions? Do they get the updates for free?

It all seems a bit gimmicky.

Sorry, but I always speak what I think and hope you make a good business out of it. Appreciate your effort and already invested in your stuff.

thx for the feedback, website design isn't my primary skill but i'm always open to how to improve and the last thing I want to do is annoy customers. maybe i'll drop the series stuff, it was just a way to try help customers see the development path for products over time.

also, I have given so many free upgrades where a product moved from one series to another whenever customer request, so yeah im always fair with customers. appreciate the comments.

Hi. After analyzing this profile with plugin doctor and Bertom EQ Analyzer. I found that Frequency response is all over the place, on any given sample rate other than 44.1khz? Even when you disable receiver portion of Bertom EQ Analyzer, and just listen that clicking from plugin, you can hear that there is something that deviate frequency response. CPU utilization is also much higher in natively 96khz trained profiles, than in regular profiles upsampled to 96. This particular profile have same CPU utilization as NAM resampled from 41khz to a 96khz. After testing some other guitar amps profiles captured at 96khz, they all seem just fine when it comes to frequency response. Is this captured natively on 96khz, or is it up-sampled, or is it 44.1 profile? Is it maybe a "ported" from Proteus profile? I know Proteus uses 44.1 sample rate, and that you also release Proteus library's. Default NAM sample rate is 48khz, and not that long ago, they added 96khz suport. I wish, and hope this can be solved, because with natively trained 96khz profile, we could have pretty much perfect recreation of original hardware. NAM can be brutally good if trained right,and with high number of Epochs. (Not that your profiles aren't. Not in the slightest . Your LA2A, even on its 44.1 khz, is single most realistic and impressive compressor in software form I have ever encounter.)

Is that La2A that good? Have to try it. Is it NAM only or also .json? Cause NAM is only mono. Sucks.

Hi. Yes it's fabulous compressor. For bass guitar I prefer him over even all my other real analog compressors. Definitely check it out. I have some heavy bass track that I intrinsically think of as "compressor destroyer" that I use to test and compare all plugins.
It is a Dingwall Bass DI track, vary HiFi sounding, with full frequency spectrum, that will put on it's knees many compressors. It is vary demanding for compressors in general, not just plugins. This particular NAM profile do this track so gracefully. It compresses, but also opens at the same time. While all other plugins emulation sounds like they are crumbled and then piled and flattened together, this NAM profile sounds like 3-dimensional sculpture, and that its unruly transient are hammered and sculpted down, to form one nice monolithic 3-dimensional spherical object. Because it is 44.1, it can have some artefacts on some program material, but you can usually avoid them and tame them down with some prudent use of lets say cassette tape ,or some high cut fitering. Most of the time, it's most aparent on tracks that you will Low-pass anyway.

No19. I would check your system , the freq response is almost ruler flat here in Bertom. see below

https://i.imgur.com/saZrQqV.jpeg

And, yes you will see higher CPU usage, the preamp was trained at 96k to capture the device with higher resolution and I even do some 192k now and then converted to 48k NAM. . The CPU is worth it imho,the sound is so much better, you can always bounce audio if required.

Also I only use NAM standard to deliver the best results, not feather or light.

Also, Cubase sucks for Genome / NAM profiles, Reaper is where its at for correct CPU usage. If people want watered down light models then AnalogX is not the company to provide it.

Preamp sounds fantastic here.

thanks for your comments on my work.

Hi. Please, tell me what sample rate did you use for project settings in this screen shoot? Is it 96k? I test it in Reaper on 96k, 48k and 44.1k. The only sample rate that this profile behave as it's expected is 44.1k. And Im not tolking about frequency devitaion that's happening when you start to drive NAM Input knob, that's what's occurring even when you overdrive real analog preamp also. That frequency deviations are vary desirable, and natural in all analog hardware, and that's one of the most important things why NAM sounds so realistic and good in first place. For me with any other project settings other than 44.1k that frequency graph line is bouncing and jumping up and down, until switch whole project to 44.1. And this isn't only of your profiles that seems to expect 44.1. Even NAM reported in lower left part of the plugin, in some previous NAM versions, that is resampling some of this profiles to 48k.

My system is fine. I have collection, worked with, and tested not hundreds but thousands of NAM profiles. As I said it was tested with at least 20 other natively trained 96k profiles. None of them didn't exibit this behavior. Only situation when NAM exibit this sort of behavior is when you use difrent sample rate from one that profile is natively trained on.

I didn't complaint for higher CPU utilization. In contrary, for me, 96k or even more, when they finally implement it, are not just vary welcomed but mandatory, no matter CPU cost. That is why I sent that messige in the first place. Your profile is actually lighter on CPU than all other profiles created in 96k. It has approximately same CPU utilization like all other 48k or 41k profiles resampled to 96k, in 96k project.

I test it with original NAM, and NAM Universal. I don't use Genome.

And I want to say again loud and clear, that I am not against you in the slightest, quite in contrary, I was one of the bigest NAM advocates from the first day, when the first NAM profile appear here on this web site, or around the web. I work within analog domain (hybrid), and with lots of analog equipment. Your profiles are so close, and have a potential to be most exquisite analog emulation in the whole software world. Some of this profiles already are, they reaping apart all algorithmic plugins, puting them to shame really most of the time, we just only need to solve this sampling rate behavior.

I second that. I am not against Stu. I just want this stuff to work perfectly so badly. The potential is enormous. Don't waste it by releasing premature stuff.
I bought stuff from Stu and will buy the Genesis plugin, too.

thank you for your support. I think we all want the same things ;-) i'm doing my very best to move things forward and keep improving, you know 12 months ago I was blown away by what deep learning could do for audio, we just need to workout the small chinks in the armour. i'm also working on a bespoke deep learning model that will give us true parametric EQ, Compression and Reverb ,this remains my goal but the development team are 100% focused on genesis for now and that is No1 priority. The website I can improve if people continue to support me on the journey and I can pay for 3rd party support in these areas. In the end hopefully we can enjoy the journey getting there as much as we can the end results.

No19. - yes I was running at 44.1 and I can now see what you refer to at other sample rates, I'm not currently sure what is causing that it could be the NAM samplerate conversion built into the code but i'll try to address it, although I dont hear anything untoward when listening to the playback at tother samplerates, do you?

again thanks for supporting AnalogX

Hi. I just saw that new NAM version is released. I am going to test it tonight or tomorrow, (I m on a tight schedule next few days), how does it behave and sounds. I think any of the new neural network plugins doesn't react vary well on sample rate changes and resampling. They like to stay native. It certainly doesn't sound bad, but as Superhero123 say, I just want it to be perfect. You're profiles are so good that they deserve to have best versions of itself. The higher resolution, the higher sample rate, the better. To avoid any possible artefacts. And without any possibility of resampling left to plugin at all. When you are listening It is most apparent in that clicking noise of Bertom Eq Analyzer, or when you use 1 sample impulse test track. And it sounds better, less aparent, in 48k than in 96k. I think best would be to just train new profiles. And my sugestion would be to do it in all sample rates. And all natively trained. So we can have native 44.1, 48, and native 96k (I will need to check about 192k support), so any user can mix in its preferred sample rate, and if find itself in need, it can always easily go up higher in sample rate to avoid any possible artefacts.

Stu, a good start would be to have the "Important Information" link to a Youtube video on your homepage actually link to a Youtube video - currently it points to your own site. I would really love to see you succeed but currently things like that will be scaring off potential customers in droves.....
