REQ: Oeksound Soothe2 v1.2.0 (macOS)
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 artefacts.
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 busses. It works wonders on anything from sound design and post-production to the most demanding mastering applications.
