Hi guys! What can I say, thank you so much for demoing, for liking, and thank you for those of you who have purchased! (disclaimer: I'm the developer) As a general rule of thumb, I'd recommend putting soothe as early in the chain as possible, as this way it get as little distortion components in, which makes the frequency detection easier for it. Although I've found myself using it after pultecy hf boost for vocals. If you have any questions, I'd be very happy to answer! Thanks, Olli

Awesome, ollierikkeskinen - thanks for coming by! I still have to read the actual manual - so far, I've just popped it on and moved a few knobs and it works lol. But I can totally see this being a mainstay in my arsenal. Does Soothe add any distortion artifacts? I have only used it on one vocal in one mix and it was a harsh vocal (that I didn't record ) - over compressed...I hear some distortion, but it could be from the original recording...

I have only used it on one vocal in one mix and it was a harsh vocal (that I didn't record ) - over compressed...I hear some distortion, but it could be from the original recording... When overused, soothe will start introducing artefacts – these are actually the residual distortion that is already existent on the material to start with. By removing the resonating frequency component, these will unmask and sound pretty nasty. So the more distorted the material is to start with, the worse it will sound when overusing soothe. Decreasing sharpness or selectivity will help battle the effect. Once you start hearing the processing, in general you should back off a little bit.

After using the demo for 20 mins I pulled the trigger. This thing is great!

I'm happy to announce that soothe v1.0.6 is available for download. This fixes some bugs, and introduces offline activation with the help of another computer, in case some one is having a offline studio machine. Thanks!

I am currently demo'ing and will purchase after this weekends gigs... 8) I am a big fan of committing to sound. I run a fair amount of outboard... and do a "re-amping" phase, then mix and sum ITB. I was trying out the plug yesterday, and was using it yesterday to "commit" sounds during the reamping phase. Its really quite brilliant. Its great to see someone developing something new, rather than something that looks like something from 40 - 50 years ago. This plug does something, I can't do without it. cheers Wiz

ollierikkeskinen, I just installed the 1.06 update after uninstalling 1.05 and it prompted me to re-register the plugin (same computer, online).
Licenses are per machine correct?
This is a really handy plugin, thanks for investing your time & talent to make it available.

Hey, Uninstalling on Windows machines will also remove the licence file, on Mac you can choose if you wish to do this. And yes, licences are per machine! So the trial will reactivate on the machine, and the licence file generated will be exactly the same with no additional activations used if the computer's hardware configuration hasn't changed. If installed to the same location(s), there shouldn't be a need to uninstall the previous version, but then again there is no harm done with that.

So I downloaded and tried it for a few days - cut to the chase - and speaking for those of us who have resonant frequency issues, this is INDISPENSABLE. Really, it may be the best $100 I've ever spent on any gear I own. It's unlike any other plugin I own. My sense is that in all but the most extreme cases where precise surgery is required, this is a MUCH more musical alternative to dealing with resonances. I'm closing in on a thousand posts on this site, and I don't think I've ever spelled a single word in all caps, but I just did it twice in this post. I'm blown away at how effective and easy this is to use. I think the sale price ends on DEC 5th and I don't know what the normal retail price is but now that I've purchased it, I have to admit it's worth twice the money I paid. Shh... don't tell ollierikkeskinen.

I wanted to demo this before the sale runs out, but I 'll have no time. I guess there's no harm in letting myself being convinced by you guys, so I just bought it unseen (or, better, unheard )...

The price point is a bit tricky one, and probably something that should be differentiated in the future with different versions for different needs. We'll see how it goes!

I agree with M57...this is one plugin that can and will make a huge difference for me. Kind of a "that just totally fixed all of the issues I was having...and I didn't move a knob" kind of plug. I know I'm probably setting expectations too high and someone else will come along and say - WTH? But that has been my initial impression. This plug has been the most well received since the Klanghelm MJUC or maybe the Fabfilter ProQ-2.

The manual is great very clear and straightforward and definitely recommends the plug go first ! It can produce artefacts like any effect dependent on how hard you push it and the strength of the underling signal.
I think the key is to remember it is doing the opposite of what you might think; it is reducing the resonances embedded in your signal relative to the non resonant frequencies by band ( that you set like an eq) and its sensitivity to those resonances is adjusted by how much you drive it, like an inverse threshold: very ingenious !

I'm an immediate fanboy of this plug so am going to make a demo video for Olli, with his permission,
people ok with me using some quotes that they have posted here ?
I'll PM you with the actual quote so you can agree ?
thx.

Yes, but you can also lower the dot thingy's to create steeper dips in the middle or steeper cuts on the edges = areas you want the plug to have less effect on. On my wish list, a larger and more detailed GUI for easier surgical work. The delay is a bit frustrating when you're trying to use the visuals to get a sense of where the build-up is, but I'm getting use to it. ollierikkeskinen What kind of different versions/needs did you have in mind? Why can't one plug do all. Resonance/sibilance/2-buss??

Anyone else having this plugin eating a lot of CPU? Seems to really eat up a lot of CPU . Pro tools 12, Mac mini i7 max ram I wouldn't be surprised - Think about what it's doing - selecting specific frequencies with differing degrees of note specificity, and then dynamically equalizing them along a curve that defines amount of equalization to be applied to each band. That fact that it needs about a 1000ms to crunch the graphic gives us a clue. This isn't your dad's EQ. I just started working with it on a number of tracks in a few sessions, but I'm also using a lot of Slate VTM and VCC for the first time too. My CPU is screaming for mercy - I know the Slate stuff is pretty taxing too, so I don't even have a rough baseline to guess from.
