Well actually it's getting upgraded for apple silicon, and getting som improvements as well... as we speak.

If you can only afford one I'd say get Soothe, as it can do more, even Sidechaining (slap it on the Melodybus and sidechain that with vocals to make frequency specific room for the vocals to not clash with the melody. You can even apply that only to the mono signal, so reverb or effects which are on the side doesn't get affected that much.
Gullfoss on the other hand can really enhance and optimize a track in a very natural way, wouldn't miss if either. But Soothe is currently on sale, so I'd definitely get that now.
Gullfoss also has a sidechain input

Yeah, it was implemented with a more recent update. It wasn´t there, when i wrote that.emilrueegg wrote: ↑Thu Oct 21, 2021 3:10 pmadl wrote: ↑Fri Apr 02, 2021 3:21 am I use Soothe in single Tracks and busses while Gullfoss on the Masterbus.

V3.5 update implemented a natural phase option which does not produce pre ringing.

This is literally DSEQs jam-- cut-only and there is one knob for frequency selectivity i.e., how much adjacent bands are affected. Set at its highest, it can literally follow and tame harmonics in a screechy violin solo. Set lower, it becomes more of a gentle NOVA-style multiband compressor and that's before you even touch the side chain eq to reduce or accentuate band-related thresholds.
Then there is a slope function, an "A.I. learn" to automatically optimize you settings, dynamic threshold to keep the fc balance at any volume level, dead easy to use with one knob if you wish, default setting usually gets you 90% there, but flexible enough for laser surgery if necessary.
And it doesn't kill your sound! Very transparent (esp at higher sample rates and FFT blocks, of course). LInear Phase and Natural Phase filters...Also reasonable priced for what it does. If I want that "bouncy" sound that the others have ( which has it's place) I have Fab Pro MB for that.
So obviously, I'm a fan.

Thank you for this!! I have DSEQ, and this reminded my why

soothe2 is great, just for what it is. i use it in mastering, just to 'take the edge off', and it does that, but i don't feel i am losing high end.
taking it to extremes shows what it can do, and i've used it a few times in logic to sort out some poorly-recorded vocals (and it helped).
