Oeksound – Soothe2 (Windows)

soothe harshness, save time

soothe2 is a dynamic resonance suppressor. It identifies problematic resonances on the fly and applies matching reduction automatically. This results in a smoother, more balanced sound and saves you from having to notch out the frequencies by hand. The reduction kicks in only when and where needed without affecting the nearby frequency areas. This preserves the timbre of the original sound source and results in transparent treatment with minimal artifacts.

soothe2 can be used to reduce harshness, sibilance, and mud from the sound source, and excels in fixing a range of problems. 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

soothe2 saves time and effort in audio work. It is equally at home on individual tracks and on buses. It works wonders on anything from sound design and post-production to the most demanding mastering applications.

quick yet detailed

soothe2 has been designed with simplicity in mind. It is fast to set up and easy to use, yet allowing you to fine-tune the processing to your needs. Pressing the delta button presents you with what soothe2 is removing, and is the quickest way to understand what the processor is reacting to.

The modern, well thought-out and informative user interface makes it easy to target just the frequency areas you wish, with control over the frequency range and sensitivity of the process. The unique frequency graph shows the reduction exactly as it’s happening.
