free update- Major GUI rewrite for soothe released

Optimisations and usability

This is a major rewrite for soothe, encompassing everything under the hood from parameter management to graphical user interface, but retaining the same audio processing and full session compatibility. The update brings in optimisations, resizeable GUI, and better overall usability. We've received a lot of very helpful user feedback, and tried to incorporate as much of it as possible to this update.

Changelog for 1.3.0:

Major GUI Update

Resizable GUI size to accommodate different screen sizes

Optimised drawing for better performance

Graph scale (grid) is more intuitive

Added contrast to graph font

Improved EQ node controls

Multiselectable nodes

Modifier keys for finer adjustments

Tweaks for easier node selection when two or more nodes overlap

Bandwidths are colour filled for better visibility

EQ curve calculations optimised to reduce CPU spikes

A/B states to compare two settings

Added Preset Menu keyboard navigation and selection history

The update is free for all existing users of soothe. The updated version requires the license to be migrated over to the iLok License Manager (if you haven't already). This a tough topic, but since introducing iLok, the amount of show-stopping problems regarding the license management has dropped significantly. We'll continue keeping our legacy license management system available for those of you still rocking the pre 1.2.0 versions.

I mainly use it on instruments replacing dynamic EQ. Instead of say cutting problematic freqs. with a dynamic eq dialing in those frequencies,  soothe deducts it on general parameters based on many freqs. It can be used on most anything- strings, vocals, guitars, horns, harshness, de-essing.. It can be tricky at first & easily overused. I'll generally use  small, modest adjustments.

At retail I'd say it's a bit pricey, I got it on sale for $100.00 but  I tend to use it more than the others I have (Ozone, FabFilter, Melda, Waves) when that type of tool is needed.

Here's  more detailed info-

If you're looking for something like this for your mixes Sound Theory is releasing a Windows version of Gullfoss soon ( $99.00) which might be suited for your needs.
