Oeksound, the developers of Spiff and Soothe2 audio tools, have announced the availability of native M1 versions of their plugins.

Along with native M1 support, these new versions also come with a number of bug fixes, an integrated tutorial to Spiff (similar to the one already in Soothe2) and new presets from MsM, Luis Barrera jr., and Henkka Niemistö, along with some of Oeksound’s own. Check out the full changelogs here.

The Oeksound team has also announced their new revamped website which, alongside a new look, now includes an interactive Soothe2 demo, restructered support section, interactive manuals for Soothe2 and Spiff and more.

What is Soothe2?

Soothe2 is described by Oeksound as a ‘dynamic resonance suppressor.’ At its simplest it is a dynamic EQ, the clever bit is the automatic way it detects the resonances it suppresses. It finds harsh or unpleasant sounds in your audio and err.. soothes them. Soothe2 saves time and effort in audio work. It is equally at home on individual tracks and on busses. It works wonders on anything from sound design and post-production to the most demanding mastering applications.

With Soothe2 you can…

• Remove harshness from close mic’d sound sources

• Transparently manage sibilance in vocals and dialog

• Treat uneven tonal balance from suboptimal recordings

• Clear muddiness, boominess, and proximity effect

• Soften overly bright guitar and piano recordings

• Tame piercing synth sounds

What Is Spiff?

Featured in our 6 Top Transient Shaping Plugins of 2021, spiff is an adaptive transient tool that cuts or boosts only the frequencies that make up the transient material, keeping the rest of the audio signal intact and free from side effects.

Whilst highly effective on mouth noises, hard consonants, clicks and pops, spiff also opens up an infinite number of possibilities for sound manipulation. Even on more extreme settings, Spiff retains the original character of the sound, without introducing any nasty artefacts. Remove all attack from a piano, turn guitar parts into a lapsteel. Make a picked guitar sound fingerpicked. Remove the close mics from a drum recording. Spiff is your one-stop solution for transients.
