To understand Soothe, you have to take the concept of EQ and flip it on its head. The frequency and q do the same things that EQs do, but this is where the similarities stop.
The filters have specific slopes, and the four remaining nodes have six additional types from standard, shelving, notch, to tilt bands. When you select each node, controls at the bottom appear for the different types. Soothe 2 comes with six bands, or “nodes,” as they call them (high pass, low pass, and four parametric bands). Rather, it has commissioned “EQ-like” controls to impact the problem audio. Repeat After Me, “This is not an EQ.” Boosting is the new cutting!Īlthough the interface looks like it, Soothe is not an EQ. For the record, Soothe keeps the primary controls in the single digits.

Alternatively, the current lineup of advanced tools employs an airplane cockpit worth of dials and controls, leaving you mentally exhausted digging through the operation manual and tutorials. Taming these problem areas is no simple task many times, EQ and compression aren’t enough. The goal of Soothe2, however, is simple: to quickly and easily take the problematic frequencies out of your audio while minimally affecting the rest. Coined by Oeksound as a “dynamic resonance suppressor,” it seems to be part EQ, part dynamics processor, and part spectral shaper. Either way, sometimes you need to bring in a ringer, and Soothe2 is just the man for the job. On the opposite end of the spectrum, that MXL mic run through your red budget interface is going to pose its own problems for even your best performer. Yes, the dream signal chain will make the audio easier to tame, but sometimes even the best can’t fix your problems. I was also nervous being at a world-class facility and strummed way too hard tracking acoustic guitar. How do I know this? Well, I’ve recorded on that very signal chain, and when I hit certain notes, sounded a little harsh. If there is one thing my journey has taught me, it’s this – expensive hardware can’t fix everything.Ī vintage Telefunken U 47 run through a Neve 8068 and into a Rev H 1176 can’t fix a nasally singer or someone strumming too hard with that drink coaster they call a pick. This is why Everything Recording exists – you are on an existential “Eat Pray Love” virtual trip around the world of audio, and we are mere tour guides. Let’s get to it.Įvery person creating and recording music knows the pitfalls of audio all too well. Either Oeksound has some serious dirt on several well-known mix engineers (we know how NAMM is), or Soothe2 is the real deal. Better late than never, right? Either way, huge names in mixing have been singing Soothe’s praises (then probably using it to correct the harshness in said praises).
Yes, Everything Recording is a little tardy to the Oeksound party, but we’re a small operation over here.
