Oeksound Bloom - 6 Out of 10
According to Oeksound: Bloom is an adaptive tone shaper. It analyzes the character of a signal and applies corrections to the perceived tonal balance for a more even and refined sound. It also lets you shape the tone and character of a track, for example, by adding warmth, brightness, or clarity. Tonal adjustments made with Bloom are dynamic and context-aware. This, together with its carefully designed user interface, makes the plug-in quick and intuitive to use and helps keep the material sounding natural, even when making radical changes.
Is this a revolutionary plug-in? Is it a game changer? Have Oeksoubnd struck gold again? And, Does It Work?

From Hype to Reality: Testing Music Tech - Does It Work?
bougth a pair in mai 2024 for the second time, the first one I sold last year ,,ok its sound s ok in the headsett ,,but after bouncing it to pcm in Logic ,it sounds not good. ,put it out for sale for second time,,if anyone have a template or something .a way to shoe how it works in logic ,,
EFX Fragments is the typical plug in you just can't use properly if you don't read the user manual which are always so well made by Arturia. They give some great advices and the most interesting use for any kind of situation on how you can enjoy the plug in. So, fisrt thing first, best advice: read the user manual.
omg, you can't just seriously call Avenger a rompler! :D... it's a synth with oscillators, modulations and filter. And you can't compare Nexus to Avenger, it's like comparing a car with a banana. Vengeance does sounds for Nexus, which is a rompler, but they aren't the same technology at all, they have different approach and customers...
This is why being a "producer" means nothing anymore today. Its just "buy the right toys and follow the recipe"
There definitely is a lot of that happening.
Zuma is great for high-end resonances. It’s unforgiving. Mike Dean NS-10s are perfectly calibrated for low-mid balance.
I use Zuma a lot along with Steven’s room.
can't this just be done with some convolution reverb? Before I got VSX I was using the car and "small room" presets for the stock convolution reverb in Reason. After comparing with VSX, I feel like I could have gone without it.
Possibly. I just the convenience and speed of being able to check the mixes “on the fly” and quickly. For me, it really speeds up the work flow. Part of the flow is having flat headphones that change according to environment. 😊
maaaan why i had my ear profile set to 1 for a while lol I have small ear canals so I'm wondering why my mix wasn't sounding right moved it to 2 and boooom mix power level jumped to 1000% lol silly me but VSX is definitely the way to go if you do not have the desired room for mixing or for a different perspective
Yesss!!!
Hope she bought that coffee 😂
She did. 😂
Same thing happened to me. Re-download the factory 2 sound bank and copy over the installed one. The factory 2 presets will then show up.
Glad I wasn’t alone in that. TY for contributing!
Glad somebody else experienced that! TY for contributing to the solution.
It always depends on the song. On the first song, the Slate sounds better to me. On the second song the Pultec wins. I have them. I’ll check it for myself. Thanks for the vid.
Vengeance does the sound design for refx/Nexus. Avenger is Vengeance's flagship synth designed in conjunction with Keilwerth Audio. I believe that Avenger is used to develop the sounds for Nexus. Avenger is an uber-powerful and full-featured synth and sound design platform. Nexus is more of a ROMpler. Vengeance has excellent tech support for Avenger. If you an early adopter, you will usually have stability issues with just about any software and there is always a download crunch to access the files. I just upgraded to Avenger 2 and am loving it!
Been using the updated version and is running well now. 😊
@@diwkevin Yeah, I noticed the Changelog for 2.0.6: "FIXED: Crash in ProTools when loading Avenger."
Can this be used with a field recorder?
If you record with the field recorder and then import it into your DAW - absolutely.
@@diwkevin thank you for the swift reply. Appreciated.
@@garyhendrie4001 you’re welcome bro!
I haven’t tried this yet. I plan to make good use of the 20 day demo. I saw one video where it was used on the master bus and it sounded fantastic though I was on headphones. The effect was much less apparent on my monitors though…..
Yeah on my monitors it was the same. Not too impressive - though Soothe has been a lifesaver. I’m sure it sounds great on some sources - but it didn’t blow me away like other master bus processors. 😊
Thank you for mentioning that “yA bUt u cOuLd jUsT uSe SaMpLer” seriously a guy told me to just tap a beat with my fingers, convert it to midi and find a bunch of samples to load in my computer. THAT WOULD BE SO FUN RIGHT
That works too! Especially with Trigger and other replacement software. 😊
A total lifesaver.
That's damn interesting. 🙌🏻
Thank you , it is clear and easy to understand information ❤
Great demonstration! Thanks .
Thank you for supporting the channel. 😊
Congrats to the AirPods Max winner! 🎉🎧

Spectacular .🌟🌟🌟
It’s really a great gate! 😊
Wooho💯 This was awesome 💎
Thank you for dropping in! 😊
Discovering your channel. Your image and sound quality is good but it seems to me that you should read a bit more about the product you are presenting. I mean nexus and avenger are a totally different architecture and you can see that by reading just 5 minutes their web site. Second your video is not too the ppint at all, you ned to cut parts and work the timing. Friendly advise, thats all.
Name of the song ?
Avenger is a beast and… its NOT a rompler 😊
Figured that rompler thing out after the blind test. 😅 Has rompler attributes - but not a rompler. 😁
💪🏻👍🏻🙏🏻 I have VSX and I‘m working my myself into it, but there‘s one thing I‘ll never understand: I often read that a mix that sounds good in my studio on my headphones can sound like shit in the car. Now if a change the mix in my Logic mixer so that it sounds good in the car it necessarily sounds different in my studio (perhaps not so good anymore) and vice verca. So, if I find out that the car mix doesn’t sound good I just switch to the VSX car icon and that fixes the problem for me? What will I really have to do that my studio mix sounds car-ready too? Choosing the VSX car icon and then trying to change my mix on my Logic mixer by changing EQs in the various bands (low, low mid, high mid, highs)? I don’t understand this as I‘m just a hobby musician.
The goal is to use the car (or any other) emulation to potentially spot particular elements of your mix that sound glaringly bad, and adjust accordingly (lows/low-mids for example in the SUV). Your mix should ideally sound "great" in whatever studio room you were mixing in as your "home base", and "balanced" in the others - use the other environments to get an overview and check that nothing sounds horribly off. Don't solely use the car and try to make it sound perfect in the car, as its purpose more to highlight problems. If you get your mix sounding fairly balanced in every room/environment you switch to, you know you are in a good place. If you're just starting out, it will definitely take a while to learn what you need to do to successfully achieve this balance by better understanding your tools, but I hope that helps :)
Prety bummed i didnt win but i totally agree with what you were saying at the end about the value of hard work.

Thanks for the great video. How did you got Fragments for free? It doesn't seem available on Arturia's site
They may have discontinued it after the New Year. It was free during Christmas and the beginning of January.
AirPods Max are a great headset for those looking for high-quality sound and comfort. Antares Vocal Reverb is a powerful software that can help you improve the sound of your vocals.
"look out Hans Zimmer, I'm coming for your job"! 😆 You know a plugins good when it makes you feel that way.
Also, a really fun freebie that i've enjoyed playing with this week is State Machine Bit flip by Cradle. I'd love to see you have fun with that one.
I’ll try out that plug-in 😁 for free that synth expansion is insane!
I really want to own Airpods Max, am I being too greedy😁😁 and I also find Antares Vocal Reverb - a great tool
AirPods Max is Apple's premium over-ear headphones, equipped with high-quality sound, luxurious design and active noise cancellation.
That's great, I hope I'll be lucky enough to win the giveaway😁
Thanks a lot, I really wanted to know, but the cheap plasticy, or weak construction is a deal breaker. And the fact that many headphones are better than the headphones itself, HD 650 and many more, if only they were made much sturdier, would have bought straight away.
I know the new ones they just released are better with metal band and construction. The older ones definitely had a design flaw.
Have had the recent model for a few months now... there is nothing negative to say about their construction. On par with any other headphones I have that are well made.
My First set broke after a few months and i was so disappointed because i was giving crap to people who was complaining about them breaking... i took care of them and always took them off with both hands and blah blah and they still broke BUT! i contacted them and they sent me a new set made with metal instead of plastic. Still going strong!
Yo boss this video is pretty fun as a completely new viewer to production, and the grittiness that the assist added at 100% was actually an improvemnt in my opinion even though you didnt like it. Keep up the good work though ill defiinitely be tuning back in!
Thank you for dropping by! Appreciate it man!
Thanks for the neat demo.
Ty for dropping by!
Great video!
Food video. Quick and to the point. I watched it start to finish.
TY for watching! I appreciate it!
