Could Soothe2 Be The Ultimate Vocal Plugin? (Demo & Giveaway)

About a year and a half ago I sat down with the rather wonderful (and exceptionally talented) Eric Valentine! I went to his new studio, and he had some incredible stuff! He had a J37 tape machine, these beautiful Strauss Monitors, but one of the things he was really freaking out about was the Oeksound plugin “Soothe.” They recently released version 2… the Soothe2! Haha

Today we’re giving away 3 copies of the Soothe2! Enter Above for a chance to win!

Oeksound calls their plugin a “Dynamic Resonance Suppressor.” What I like about this idea is that it’s taking any frequency that seems like it’s peaking just a little bit too much and dominating in the sound. How many times have you heard a vocal and thought to yourself “It’s all nasal, or it’s super piercing 3K, or there’s a lot of low-mid building up!” The name itself makes me want to use it on some vocals! So we’re going to try it out on a few different vocals and see how it performs

We had a ton of fun using the Soothe2! Watch the video below to hear how the Soothe2 performs! Now that I’ve used it, I think I’m going to have a lot of fun using it in the right circumstances! In this video, we’re just scraping the surface! I can see that it can do a ton of stuff!

How would you use Soothe2 in your mixes?

Warren really deserves all the credit for teaching valuable skills at no cost. Keep up the great work.

[thibautmacquart]

I'm a feature movie mixer, and honestly, that's the best plugin that I could wait for.
I've been using it for 2 months on my dialogue masters, and I save a lot of time to work on more creative/narrative aspects then.


Thanks a lot Warren for your review !

[nolanneal]

Soothe is one of the best plugins that's ever been created IMO! Right up there with IZOTOPE and Neural DSP! SO easy to use too! Thanks for all the videos you make, brother ! I've watched many hours and learned so much from you and the many amazingly talented guests you have on :)

[kurtimusik]

it's funny, because i just recently demoed this plugin while recording the vocals for my upcoming ep. i was amazed, it gave me instant clarity while keeping things natural and helped me get a much more appealing sound out of my nt1-a. i feel like this is a plugin that really can make a difference, especially for homestudio recordings! who knows, maybe i win a copy of it in the giveaway, that would really be great.
thank you warren, i've been following you for a while now and the videos you make bring a ton of value. i really appreciate your effort :) stay safe! cheers from germany

I waited and waited for a sale and couldn't wait anymore. I have spent a lot of time sweeping for resonant frequencies in acoustic guitar and vocals and notching them, but you end up just killing it in the end. lol. These dynamic eq's that intelligently know what to do on the fly just blow my mind and sound incredible. Only dipping when needed addresses an issue when needed but not squashing it 100% of the time?? Vocals never sounded so good.

[maeckie]

i tried the demo a couple of weeks ago and was able to smoothe the highs on my cheap mic vocal recordings. This was the main problem on my recordings, and i spent hours with correctional eqing. With smoothe it was only a couple of minutes and with a better result.
Unfortunately i cant afford it at the moment so i entered the giveaway, fingers crossed ;)


As always great content on this channel, thanx-a-lot !

The per band Solo Listen function is magical. I use it literally on anything sometimes. Drums, Voices, Bass with attack portion, snares, claps, harsh synths you name it. This and Spiff are two of the best plugins ever made

[terrydoylemusic]

Welcome to the Soothe club!! :-D Been using it since V1. I have used it on Double Bass and it was great. I have also used it (sparingly) on electric guitar groups and brass. I just upgraded to V2 and its even better (it now goes lower and uses less CPU plus more controls) Kudos to Oeksound for building this great plugin.

[MikeLuke]

I‘ve actually watched Eric using that plugin on the (outstandingly awesome) song „Release“ by his fiancée Grace Potter. And I was really impressed how good this actually works. Great demo here, Warren.

[VinnieLeeStudio]

LOVE the Soothe2! I use it on every song since Soothe 1, it's just magical! Get rid off all the nasty things and keeping it natural at the same time!

[gretschkatmusicproductions]

Soloing a vocal while testing or inserting a plugin is absolutely a requirement for the human voice/vocal is the absolute most organic instrument in a mix. So the solo/mix step is important, glad you pointed out that solo is important for vocal, right on!

[whitestagcollective]

I literally just bought this plugin! I love this thing. Thanks for the video!

[RCSmiths]

A well done and informative lesson here. Always showing what capabilities you could do with these!

[ayobabanla]

I'm a person who in the music, im a producer, and learning mixing and mastering, and every musician gave some idol, or a teacher, and you are my teacher, thank you for your knowledge 🙏

[mlssn]

It is indeed lovely. Great for getting atonal resonances out of electrics among everything else it does.

[jdigital]

Excellent review of the Oeksound Soothe2 plugin, another surgical tool to add to my arsenal! Thanks 👍

[joechapman]

Tried the upgrade on strings when v2 came out, and the difference between v1 and v2 was ridiculous (and of course Soothe 1 was already magical, so the fact that they managed to improve it at all was surprising, let alone that much). Incredible plugin, well worth the money.

[MarkSavilleChannel]

Been using it for a couple of years, goes on every vocal! Hit the delta button lower 1st 3rd of the UI and you can hear all the crap it's pulling out!

[mikeweiser]

An absolute game changer plugin! Been using it a little over a year now. A must have for the arsenal. One of my go to plugins for harsh cymbals, guitars and vocals
