Dream ADC Clipper Emulations (GENESIS)

AnalogX – Dream ADC Clipper Emulations
Exclusive to Genesis | Sampled at 192kHz | Powered by Ethereum

Transparent Loudness. Elite Harmonics.
Welcome to the next level of digital clipping. The AnalogX Dream ADC Clipper Emulations are based on one of the most revered analog-to-digital converters ever made—respected by mastering engineers for its ability to push loudness boundaries while retaining musicality and punch.

Now upgraded to the Ethereum Series, this pack delivers ultra-smooth clipping behaviour, surgical harmonic saturation, and pristine detail. Whether you're pushing a mix bus to the limit, adding subtle warmth, or sculpting energy into a master, this is the closest you’ll get to high-end ADC clipping in the box.

🔍 What’s Included

Four expertly modelled clipping profiles—each with distinct tonal character and harmonic behaviour:

• 1.5 Clip – Gentle and polished, perfect for vocal buses and acoustic material.
• 1.5 Soft Clipper – Adds subtle rounding and warmth, great for mix buses and gentle limiting.
• 3.0 Clip – Balanced and punchy, ideal for drums, guitars, and full-range buses.
• 6.0 Clip – Loud, bold and modern. Perfect for aggressive limiting in EDM, pop, and hip-hop.

All profiles captured at 192kHz, optimised for real-time use in Genesis, and designed for maximum clarity with none of the digital harshness you’d expect from standard clipping tools.

🧠 A Brief History of High-End ADC Clipping

The unit we sampled hails from a flagship line of mastering-grade converters known for their unique ability to retain musical detail—even when pushed beyond 0dBFS. Thanks to carefully engineered clipping stages and transformer-friendly architecture, these converters became a quiet secret weapon for engineers looking to add just the right amount of edge, loudness, and character to a mix.

With Dream ADC, we’ve modelled this behaviour with precision, so you can experience that same analogue-inspired push—without reaching for outboard.

💡 Why Use ADC Clipping?

Modern music production demands punch, clarity, and competitive loudness. ADC clipping remains one of the most effective—and musical—ways to achieve it. Unlike soft limiters that smear transients or multiband tools that flatten dynamics, ADC-style clipping adds harmonic edge where it counts most.

With Dream ADC you get:

• Loudness without lifelessness
• Punch without harshness
• Warmth without mud
