soothe3 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 frequencies by hand. The reduction only kicks in when and where needed, without affecting nearby frequency areas. This preserves the timbre of the original sound source resulting in a transparent treatment with minimal artifacts.
what’s new in soothe3
New, improved algorithms
- Soft mode: our most transparent resonance suppression, with an adaptive threshold. Ideal for most sound sources, works especially well with dynamic instruments.
- Hard mode: in the style of Soothe2, with a fixed threshold. Ideal for more aggressive control and popular sidechain effects.
Low latency mode
- In low latency mode Soothe3 adds zero samples of latency at base sample rates and ~1 ms at higher sample rates, enabling tracking and live applications.
Workflow improvements
- Detail parameter combines Soothe2’s sharpness and selectivity under one control for more streamlined use.
- More flexibility with nodes: Create or delete nodes, and choose between eight different band shapes – including bandpass and tilt – to make adjustments quickly.
- Collapsible side panel: Keep essential controls at hand and more advanced settings out of the way when working fast.
More advanced controls
- Multichannel support: Soothe3 supports up to 9.1.6 channel configurations with full control over the linking of channel sets.
- Customize Soothe’s response with tilt controls: Scale detail, attack and release frequency-dependently.
- Max cut parameter: Drive Soothe harder while keeping the biggest cuts in check.
- Linear phase mode can be useful for parallel processing, or when using unlinked processing in mid-side to prevent changes in panning
