I can't believe it took me that long to try this plugin
Yeah, it took me a while… But I finally got around to checking out Oeksound’s Soothe2 plugin.
Is it the game changer that everyone says it is?
In today’s video, I’ll test Soothe2 on a variety of sources and give you my thoughts!
Do you use this plugin? Love it? Hate it? More questions? Let me know in the comments!

Do you use Soothe 2?
Love it? Hate it? More questions?
Let me know in the comments!
I'd like to add it to my toolkit (it's in my wishlist) but it's a bit pricy so someday later.
It’s a game changer to me. Use it every time.
Also, the UI is beautiful to look at.
I haven't tried it yet since I'm ok with FabFiltre and UVI Shade
Great vid, Chris! (as always).
I was just wondering if there's a chance for us to watch a review on @Techivation M-Clarity from you. That'd be awesome!
I've been hearing a lot about it lately. Some people think it is a great alternative to Soothe 2. I'm just getting started in the "Resonance Suppressor's world" lol.
Thank you!!
Thanks for highlighting this great plugin. I've been using it for two years and find, when used correctly, it's a real help. You need to set it carefully though, it can easily suck the character and life out of a vocal or guitar. Another important way I use it is to side chain the Band master bus into an instance of Soothe 2 on the Vocal bus. This ensures that frequencies in the band don't compete with those in the vocal. Also, the "delta" control is key, so you can listen to what Soothe 2 is cuttng out of the track. This helps ensure you have your settings exactly right.
Thanks for sharing your tips :-)
Love soothe, it's a real problem solver, my suggection is : just be careful and don't overuse it without hearing first where the problems are, or you'd risk to make things dull and to suck out too much energy from your tracks
Totally agree with you!
Greetings Chris. Yep Soothe 2 does the job, but I'm intrigued to know what technique you personally use within Cubase's stock plugins or indeed any other third party plugins before you started using Soothe 2. Yep Soothe 2 eats CPU for breakfast, lunch and dinner. and for me as an alternative I sometimes use Baby Audio's Smooth Operator. What says you?
I also used Smooth Operator, for a few things, but not as easy to work with compared to Soothe. Before these types of plugins, I used a bit more Dynamic EQ on some tracks. It's close, but not quite the same.
Great Video! I have used Soothe since the first one and upgraded to Soothe 2. A handy tip is to use the Delta button. It helps a lot to hear what Soothe is taking out.
Still new to it, so didn't try the Delta button yet, thanks for the tip :-)
Welcome to the club! I couldn't keep my eyes of your shiny new WA MPX in the background! Please don't forget to run some whole mixes through it... almost all reviews have overlooked this - the one thing I'm most interested in!
So far, I really dig the WA 2MPX, I will show the mixing side of it in my future video
I'm so glad you've posted this. I've had this plugin for months now and I love it. I ended up also buying "Spiff" (by the same company) Recently, I've been tracking a lot of Voice-Overs and I needed more control over "mouth" noises. Spiff is unbelievable for that. Thanks again Chris. You have literally been one of my "OnLine" mentors that have changed my life. I am forever grateful.
I never tried Spiff yet, but I think I will look it up! Thanks for your comment, glad you like and find my content helpful :-)
I think unparalleled for actual mouth clicks, breaths and pops is RX. It just works.
Your vids are always great Chris! Nice one!
Thanks a lot Chris :-)
I always use the high band on a multiband comp on overheads because the symbols tend to get harsh when they are sitting where I want them in mix. I could see soothe 2 working well for that.
I got a soothe 2 alternative way cheaper because well 😅 life... DsEQ 3 and it is pretty cool and pretty close except way less cleaner in term of user experience.
Never heard of, but I will look it up! Thanks for your input :-)
DSEQ is great too. As you say not quite as good in terms of gui and ease. But quality is good and does the same thing. I did trial it but liked the way sooth was easy to use.
There's one called Reso too which, I didn't like.
@@chrisibbetson I'm pretty sure I will end up with sooth, but have to wait for a big offer. For now, DsEQ it is. It saved me a few times actually
Awesome plugin, but crazy expensive :/
It's not cheap
Would be interesting to see you do a comparison to what Sonible, iZotope and what Cubase has onboard
Cubase doesn't have an equivalent to these types of plugins, but with iZotope, it would be a fair comparaisson
Hi Chris.. quick question. If ibwant to successfully copy a cubase session from my lap top to a USB stick for back up purposes...do u i just copy the entire project folder? Is this all I need to do for the files to open on cubase on another laptop? Thank mate. Love the channel.
How are you liking the WA-MPX. I have one and vocals are such a treat now so much character.
I think it's great, but it's quite CPU heavy, so I mainly use it on the odd group channel or master.
Thanks for watching!
@@mixdownonline Thanks as always for the great review Chris, you're a top guy :)
Soothe 2 is an amazing plugin. Super useful!
It really is!
..please make a presentation for Spectralayers 10!! its coming tomorrow!!
I don't have it yet, but I'll check it out
i love it, i also love spiff which is amazing, but its easy to overdo it and butcher your tracks, you need to be careful :-)
Very true!
Great!
Thanks!
overrated? obviously. Now let's watch the video ;) (also let me put this straight: resonance is becoming the new gluten but it's a fundamental component of sound and most of what gives your recordings character and your acoustic instruments their special timbre - when it comes to art (4 voiceovers I get it) the entire idea of an antiseptic and standardised recording gives me the creeps honestly peace love)
ps. if instead of this "magic thing" that Soothe does u need effective control over reverberation for voiceovers or other similar applications try Clear/Goyo which is phenomenal and super cheap
it is one of the best plugins I bought. in 2020 was the secret weapon
That's good to know!
Way overpriced - think what you get with Cubase 12 pro - the enormous content - this plugin costs practically half that - for a single function.
It's not cheap
Great plug-in…
For sure!
..I Love it!! using for 2 years!😀
Amazing!
Love this plug-in. For any FL users out there, Frank Pole made a free Soothe “clone” patch. It’s strictly for FL though.
Good to know! Thanks for letting me know!
I have been wanting this forever but I can't bring myself to spend the 200 bucks. It's just a hobby for me, mostly.
Yes, you have to spend according to your needs, that's wise!
You just missed the spring sale. Wait until discount!
Hey Joe! Thanks for making another great video. I've been home recording for the last two years and have had great results in Reaper. However...a few months ago I bought the Presonus iostation 24c which I love! Unfortunately, half the features don't work in Reaper. I didn't realise until yesterday that with the iOS24c you get a free copy of Studio One 6 Artist. BOOM!!! I'm looking forward to checking it out and seeing if there is any benefit to upgrading to professional??
Thanks Chris! Is €199 the best price or is there a much more economical way to buy please?
That's a good question, but I don't think there is
Wait for a sale😊
They have sales!
Anybody knows how much is it for Soothe on Black fryday or similar sale??
Good question
It is good but it is a CPU hog.
Thanks Chris, you explain things very well on all your videos, but this device is a little different, but your explanations soon clear that up !
SUPPRESS ALL CHARACTER! MAKE YOUR MUSIC TAME!
Ok! It’s a tool. A tool to solve SOME problems from the origin. But we all know it’s not going to go….hasn’t gone like that. It just gets whacked on, “its part of my default blah buss”.
No thinking “is it required? Is this actually a problem?”
Lovely Tool. Sparingly used. Terrible clientele shaping the future of lift music.
Those are good questions to ask yourself
Wait you couldn’t just go buy it? You haaaaaadd to ask for a free one
Definitely, that's the least I can do for the amount of money it cost me to make my videos.
Soothe 2 is lovely. Excellent investment.
Glad you like it!
Itˋs really a game changer. It works fantastic🎉
I don't know that I'd put Soothe on a track that doesn't have clear problem resonance or harshness issues.
Always hearing about engineers who used it too much early on after getting it and it took to much life out of the performance. Tamed the actual excitement out of the music. Need some resonances...
For sure! It's the same with all plugins or hardware processing, have a reason to use it :-)
@@mixdownonline perfect time to mention again. Really enjoying your channel. 😎🎷👍
great vid! thnx!!
you're welcome!
Great video!!
Yes!! Soothe 2 is in my arsenal of resonance taming plugins. It is amazingly effective. Two others I have are useful also... Mastering the Mix, "Reso" and Techivation "M-Clarity". My best knowledge (and perceptions) of equalizing are dwarfed by what those can correct (due to my lust for layering sounds during the creative process). 😀
Never tried these 2 other options, thanks for sharing, and for watching this video :-)
Nice! I’ve been going back and forth about buying this plugin. I also see that you’re using the Audeze headphones. Also another product I’m looking at 😆
Audeze MM-500 are great for Mixing, but expensive, Love them!
Thank you, Chris. I use this plugin since a few month and I never want to miss it again. As every time I enjoy your video. Like it 👍 Greetings from Düsseldorf/Germany.
That's great! Glad you enjoy it!
Great vid, just wonder why you havn't shown the delta function to illustrate what is going to be removed.
I didn't try the delta feature yet
Using Vastaus now and have tried but not yet bought Soothe2. Good presets in the Soothe2 package can be a helpful start for new users.
For sure!
Soothe 2 is like ssl or pro q ! Each bus deserve one or two. The second with 50 pc and very sharp .
Very efficient
I use that sometimes with one plus a distortion or tape slate sat and an other to adjust
Cool stuff!
I love this, been using it for years, also the first time I saw a plug-in give you different settings for oversampling in real-time vs rendering (every plug-in should have this)
That's interesting, indeed!
very used plugin thanks for demonstrating Chris
My pleasure!
Love it! Waited to get it on sale. Only sale they do is at Easter & Black Fri....
Good to know!
Should I try it? My motto is - less is more.
If you do try it, let me know what you think!
Had it for years. If you slow down the attack it can sound pretty good.
Good to know!
This is basically the Emperor’s New clothes tale. 😂
LOL! Love it! LOL
I did need a good revive for this plugin, thank you.
Excellent
video dont play
It's starts Now!
Very cleverly done, the whole thing.🎉 If you don't have Soothe 2 yet, you'll want it 😅
Thanks Michael!
“Everything is staying very natural” I have to say that it is the opposite. No human voice sounds like this, we all have resonances in the voice. Same goes with the guitars. These types of plugins are great but are destroying the “artifacts” that make music interesting.
I think what makes music interesting is the music itself, a good song, good arrangements, etc...everything else are tools to make it sound better for a better experience to the listener, and my job as a mixer is to make that happen. Let's face it, no human voice sound compressed, EQ'd, and with Delay/Reverb either ;-)
Oh, soothe2. Just bought it yesterday after trial period
US$219?
Or did you find a cheaper way?
In the sale it's 149 usually.
Cool stuff! Let me know what you think!
@@chrisibbetson When do they have a sale, do you know maybe?
@@alfaPop I doubt there's a single company that doesn't have both Black Friday and Christmas sales, so check back in then.
Hi, this plugin is just a bomb. Already 3 years in each project🔥🔥🔥
Oh yeah!
