Oeksound soothe2 New Features Mean You Can Now Touch Your Bottom End - Hear How
Back in 2017 Oeksound caught our attention with the release of Soothe which introduced a new and exciting method of reducing shrill, sibilance and harshness in audio. We fell in love with soothe awarding it An Expert’s Choice Award
At NAMM 2020 Oeksound released soothe 2. If you currently use the original version of Soothe you may be wondering if version 2 is worth the upgrade cost. In this video we demonstrate a handful of new features and improvement.
What Is Soothe?
In a nutshell, Soothe is a dynamics resonance suppressor. For the most part, Soothe is an automatic process which reduces harshness fast. It's great for taking the edges off overly sibilant vocals as well as being an excellent tool for de-harshing other track types such as overdriven electric guitars and ringy sounding cymbals in drum overhead channels.
In most de-harshing applications you may find simply inserting Soothe2 on a harsh sounding track with a minor adjustment of the depth control is enough to address sibilance but there are many additional controls to help you further hone its processing, many of which are new in Soothe2.
What’s New In Soothe2?
The first point of interest in Soothe2 is it now works across the entire range of human hearing whereas the original targeted mid to high resonances above 250Hz. This new extended range means we can now use soothe's powers to address mud or excessive weight in the low end.
In this video we show you what Oeksound’s popular deharsher plug-in Soothe2 is capable of demonstrating how you can use it to clean up a boomy sounding kick drum, focus a muddy mix and more.
