lawajava Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 (edited) Reg $219 Black Friday sale A sale is just around the corner! soothe2 will be available for 139€, and spiff for 99€. The price for an upgrade license for soothe2 will be 39€. The sale starts on the November 27th and lasts until the November 30th. An example YouTube (kind of harsh example, but is explaining how Soothe2 helps tone down some of the harshness) I don't have this one yet. Opinions? (Intriguing sidechain capability described around the 8 min mark of the YouTube link above) Edited November 26, 2020 by lawajava 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 This thing is very good and hoped to grab it at BF... But hoped for something much lower than 139€ Probably even in harder times it is good seller so they do not need to go too low to grab attention... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAL Music Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've been waiting for this one too, I had a Pro engineer tell me I was cheap for not buying it at $219 but at $139(Not a smoking deal) I might pick it up since he said it was indispensable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Hesitated between Gullfoss and Soothe to bring mixing magic and smoother tracks. Opted for the former and have been in mixing heaven ever since. Gullfoss is the best “magicalizer” I know, together with Zynaptiq Intensity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opted for the former and have been in mixing heaven ever since. Gullfoss is the best “magicalizer” I know, together with Zynaptiq Intensity. Hm, they seem to be quite different purpose to me. I believe sooth is more suitable for fighting with unpleasant real resonances while gullfoss is thing more for polishing using psychoacoustic. Like more for finishing touch on the end of the mix or master. Recording at home means many thing to fix after (especially where there is no good treatment). I was unable to do it with gulfoss. Pure dynamic EQ (like Melda's) was much better for this. But Sooth is dynamically also swiping frequency like little tracing a problem. So when I tested Sooth2 I was pretty impressed.

Fleer Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 True, it’s good. But with all things iZotope plus Gullfoss (and Intensity) I consider myself covered. Sonible plugins like Frei:raum also help. Anyway, I don’t feel the need to get Soothe to fight unwanted resonances, while I can use the entire Zynaptiq bundle with FabFilter Pro-Q3. (Or, in the words of The Voice:) If they can’t take me there, I won’t get anywhere. It’s up to me and Q3, Q3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris.r Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 So there's no real alternative to Soothie or Gulfoss for much more reasonable price? Guess bx_refinement won't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSteven Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Not on sale yet but here is Oeksound's web site: https://oeksound.com/plugins/soothe2/ You can get on Oeksound's mailing list here: https://oeksound.com/support/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Soothe is really good at pulling the crap out that you didn't know you put in. Highly recommended and very versatile tool. Great on mix bus, great as de-esser, great on icepick guitars . . . can be a bit CPU heavy on the high quality settings. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 It seems like getting the demo is a good idea to see how it sounds on real tracks and mixes. If I go for it, this sale window would be the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems last BF Soothe was on sale for $99 and Easter time they offered the $39 update to soothe2. So I guess it’s about the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaleOm Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Another similar plugin to Soothe is DSEQ https://www.tb-software.com/TBProAudio/dseq.html I never tried Soothe so I cant comment anything about it but DSEQ is one of most amazing plugins that I have. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been eyeing up Teote which is a cheaper Gulfoss alternative. https://www.voxengo.com/product/teote/ Here's a YouTube video which compares it to Gulfoss: Edited November 14, 2020 by ZincT 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lawajava Posted November 14, 2020 Author Share Posted November 14, 2020 A lot of super positive comments about Soothe 2 generally speaking as I look at reviews. This particular YouTube has a lot of positive feedback regarding the plugin. The clip itself has a good explanation. I’m now off the fence. I’ll be getting this when the sale takes effect toward the end of the month. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAGinz Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I may come around on these things, but as of now I’m a little reluctant to jump in. Between “smoothers”, the loudness wars, and other such production techniques, it seems like it’s very easy to suck out the emotion and life from music. I’m constantly amazed at how live music (with all of its imperfections) is frequently much more emotionally involving than recordings of the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why revive a 3 years-old thread when there’s an already ongoing 4 pages long discussion on the first page of the deals section? This is misleading, I thought it went on sale. Edit: And I just saw that it’s your thread that you started… Edited November 6, 2023 by Yan Filiatrault Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
