Inside the plug in, the first thing you'll probably notice is the massive EQ-looking thing you're presented with. If you have a harsh sounding sample that needs treatment, reaching for Soothe will resolve that.Īnd, while we can tell you it sounds great and you definitely need it in your plugin collection, we always find it's best to leave a few audio examples below, so you can hear the difference yourself. However, what we can tell you is that it ‘Soothes' things by dealing with problematic resonances (who would've guessed)? Soothe is a dynamic resonance suppressor, so it doesn't sound any kind of way. Of course you could achieve a similar result with a dynamic EQ, but you would need a lot of Q points. It's fundamentally different from using a dynamic EQ, because it uses clever algorithms to find, and remove your resonances at an extremely fine detail, in a few clicks. Oeksound's flagship plugin is a little different to a dynamic EQ, and while you could get the same results with an EQ, you'd have to spend literally hours plotting all the Q points, whereas Soothe does it in a few clicks.

Now you're probably thinking – well I can do that with a dynamic EQ, what's the point of Soothe? However, the ones that don't add any musical value, you usually want to remove. In a lot of cases you want to keep resonance that sounds musical. Soothe can help to remove these high end resonances without affecting the useful, musical resonances you want to keep.

This is due to high end resonances you don't want. There's a lot of information we want to keep in a HiHat to maintain its sound, but a lot of the time, if you were to play an untreated HiHat through larger speakers, it would begin to hurt to listen to. In simple terms, Soothe is going to clean up your audio and prevent the frequencies that either hurt, or sound jarring to the listener, from coming through in the final mix. Soothe 2 is a dynamic resonance suppressor plugin, that helps to clean up your mixes, and remove unwanted resonances from your audio.
