soothe3

Soothe3 identifies problematic resonances on the fly and applies matching reduction automatically. This results in a smoother, more balanced sound and saves you from having to notch out frequencies by hand. The reduction only kicks in when and where needed, without affecting nearby frequency areas. This preserves the timbre of the original sound source resulting in a transparent treatment with minimal artifacts.

Soothe harshness, save time

• Remove harshness from any sound source.
• Target shifting resonances automatically.
• Clean up muddiness, boominess, and proximity effect.
• Tame shrill or piercing sibilance.
• Get polished sounds while tracking with zero latency.

Tame Vocal Harshness

Vocals are full of resonances, from the voice to the choice of microphone, mic placement, room acoustics, and more. Soothe smooths out harshness in real time, improving clarity, balance, and overall tone without sacrificing detail. With its low latency mode, Soothe3 can also be used while tracking, helping performers hear a more polished sound from the start.

Dial It In

Instead of spending time notching resonances, add Soothe and jump straight to deciding which resonances you want to suppress and how much. In soft mode, Soothe3 tackles most problems transparently, making it a safe starting point for any sound source. Hard mode, on the other hand, is more reactive to dynamics, which can be useful when going for a compressor-like grab. Hard mode is also suited for overdoing it as a creative effect, à la Soothe2.

Dive Deep

When you need to dive deeper, Soothe3 has you covered. If you need different settings for your low end, the tilt controls are a quick solve. If stereo isn't enough, Soothe3 has multichannel support up to 9.1.6. If you'd prefer linear phase, it's just two clicks away. More control in a cleaner package.

Continuous Improvement

We released the original Soothe in 2016. With each iteration, we've redesigned the algorithm to improve sound quality, performance, and flexibility, while retaining ease of use. Soothe2 received numerous awards and praise from Grammy-winning engineers and producers, becoming a staple in mixes worldwide. With Soothe3, we've made another major leap in transparency, usability, and versatility.
