TBProAudio has released DSEQ 3.0, a dynamic equalizer working in the frequency domain. DSEQ removes digital harshness on the fly thanks to self-adjusting frequency bands.

DSEQ can be used in all mix and master situations:
  • de-essing vocals
  • taming resonances in e.g. drum, guitar, vocal recordings
  • removing digital harshness
  • balancing the mix
  • de-masking frequency regions
  • support of pink noise mixing/mastering

For me it was an easy decision after I compared the price for both plugins :hihi:

Is this basically the same as Soothe? If so then I’m on my way to purchase!!!!

As far as I tested it's kinda like soothe but more unhinged. (And MSpectralDynamics is a step further, totally unhinged and ridiculously configurable)

Yeah with unhinged i meant, ability to be more extreme in its processing.
Soothe2 at its extremes is still pretty contained and reserved, while DSEQ3 can be pushed into extreme that don't sound good anymore, which makes it a little harder to dial in. It's harder to make Soothe2 sound bad, to put simply.
Same goes for Melda MSpectralDynamics but it's even more pronounced.
That's a double-edged sword tho, usually more flexibility means you can do more with it, but it's also easier to screw stuff up if you don't know what you're doing.

OK, thank you.
Yes, you can drive all of them to death :-)

For mastering or group bus; Drive a lot, click slope to self adjust, slowly increase from dry to wet to taste (ablm in it is helpful).

You get an overall compression that sort of feels like a chain of standard plug-ins. With Soothe masking often occurs due to design, Teote can be a bit more tasteful but takes longer to adjust.
