[H3] dynamic resonance suppressor
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.
[IMG: A portrait of Thomas Warren]
The biggest upgrade from Soothe2 is easily the new detail knob. It makes the processing feel much more surgical and precise, especially on vocals. I like how smoothly it tames harsh frequencies without over-processing the signal. Also loving the sidechain response between my kick and bass

[H3] 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.
[H3] 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.

[H3] 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.
[H3] 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.

[H3] find your tone with bloom
Bloom is an adaptive tone shaper. It analyzes the character of a signal and applies corrections to the perceived tonal balance for a more even and refined sound. It also lets you shape the tone and character of a track, for example, by adding warmth, brightness, or clarity. Tonal adjustments made with Bloom are dynamic and context-aware. This, together with its carefully designed user interface, makes the plug-in quick and intuitive to use and helps keep the material sounding natural, even when making radical changes.
[H3] fits the occasion
Bloom boosts and cuts frequencies only when needed, helping to mitigate energy build-ups and reveal more detail. It lets you make tonal changes quickly while being considerate of the source material. For example, you can boost the high-end on vocals without emphasizing unwanted sibilance. With Bloom, bright doesn’t need to mean shrill, and big doesn’t need to mean boomy. Use it to shape tone with confidence.Your browser does not support video.Play video Bloom used by user in an operating system environment

[H3] starting point or finishing touches
Bloom can work as a good starting point when shaping a sound. Useful for quickly crafting single tracks towards a cohesive mix, it’s also equally functional as a bus processor, whether for sculpting groups or sensitively shaping a master. Get your mix up to speed effortlessly, or dive deeper to bring that exact sound you envisioned to life.
[IMG: A portrait of Buddy Ross]
I had access to the Bloom beta for a couple months before release and it’s made its way onto every project I’ve been working on since. Bloom has been great for giving life to any track or bus that isn’t holding my attention enough or that I can’t wrangle with individual plugins. I like to throw a couple instances in series on my instrumental bus and just sift thru presets to add new dimensions to things I didn’t even realize were dull before. My go to to presets are Bye Bye Boxiness, Parallel Soft Width, Side Exciter, and Mix Bus Sheen.

[H3] make it personal
A good mix is not one-size-fits-all. Bloom can do a lot of the heavy lifting, but at the end of the day, it’s your ears that decide what’s right. Bloom’s four tone controls allow you to shape the tone freely to your liking. The controls change the overall tonal balance Bloom is working towards rather than making absolute cuts or boosts, as found in an EQ. This way, you can reach your vision fast without needing to compensate for bigger moves or automate around problems.Your browser does not support video.Play video Bloom used by user in an operating system environment

[H3] squash sounds into shape
When bolder moves are needed, crank Bloom’s amount control to engage squash mode. With squash engaged, Bloom applies frequency-dependent upward and downward compression to reduce the dynamic range of the signal and mold it towards the specified shape. Use it to subtly bring out detail or dramatically over-emphasize it, adding grit without saturation.
[H3] so… what is it exactly?
In addition to being a quick broad-strokes EQ tool, Bloom can be thought of as our take on a color box. It can give character, glue, or grit to your sound in a way that fits your vision. You might use it in place of a dynamic EQ, multiband compressor, saturator, or even compressor, but it falls under none of these categories. We call it an adaptive tone shaper.

Bloom is an adventure every time; you’ll discover colors and energy you didn’t know were hiding in your audio. Since the beginning of beta testing, its had a classic oeksound interface that encourages experimentation and quick results. It's great for potent tonal shifts and snappy compression. I expect to see Bloom both used and abused!

[H3] our process behind bloom — three questions
The idea for Bloom came from research questions we’ve studied since 2018. The initial research question was, What is warmth in audio? and later in an unrelated venture, we studied the question: What is presence? Both led us down a rabbit hole involving the balance of overtone series and a third research question: How do we bring out and balance overtones present in a sound? This was the basis for Bloom’s first prototypes, and from there, Bloom started to take form as a tone shaper.Two years of critical listening followed, leading to numerous prototypes and thousands of incremental improvements to the DSP. A lot of this process is about seeing how the plugin reacts to different sound sources and iterating until it behaves in the way we want it to. In parallel, we spent a lot of time testing how to present the idea to the user in an approachable way. After testing users’ interactions with different designs, we landed on one that not only felt the best but also helped us and our testers make the best-sounding decisions. One of the bigger challenges of Bloom was giving the user all the control they need while making sure the plug-in is still fun to work with.The end result is something novel and far more complex than we initially imagined. But Bloom still follows our ethos. It offers new ways to manipulate audio, presented in an approachable manner.

[H3] take control of your transients
Spiff is an adaptive transient processor that lets you cut or boost transients with great detail. Spiff analyzes the incoming signal and recognizes when and where transients appear adaptively. Its time- and frequency-specific controls let you take charge of your transients, no matter how big or small. Spiff’s unique approach to transients opens up possibilities not usually associated with transient control.Your browser does not support video.Play video Spiff used by user in an operating system environment

Spiff is really one of a kind. It takes a completely new approach to transient design and I immediately found great uses. I’m actually going to remix a percussion project I’m doing so I can add Spiff. It’s that good.

[H3] hear spit? use spiff
Originally Spiff was designed to remove mouth clicks in vocal recordings. Mouth clicks occur when a vocal is recorded close to the microphone and often become an issue when high frequencies are boosted, and compression is added. Use Spiff to save time when editing vocals, voiceovers, and podcasts.
[H3] spiff it up
Engaging the boost mode transforms Spiff into a powerful transient enhancer – adding attack to drums and other rhythm material. However, Spiff’s adaptive approach gives you additional control over which transients to boost and in which frequency area. Boost fundamentals on drums without additional boominess or bring any sound to the front of a mix without increasing their RMS level.Your browser does not support video.Play video Spiff used by user in an operating system environment

The best thing about digital recording can sometimes also be the worst. The accurate capturing of transient information can be fatiguing and indeed painful to listen to. Analogue tape used to round the edginess of transients off and make them creamy and lovely to listen to, now Spiff does a similar job (and so much more!), oeksound have another winner on their hands, it's all over my new mixes.

[H3] cut it out
In addition to mouth clicks, Spiff’s detailed transient recognition offers a number of other mixing solutions: Soften the pick attack of a guitar recording while retaining the top-end shimmer or soften transients over a whole mix, similar to tape saturation. For more extreme applications: make an electric bass sound fretless, or create room mics out of overheads.
[H3] no bands means no artifacts
Where traditional transient shapers work as compressors and envelope shapers over one or more bands, Spiff approaches transients differently. It analyzes the incoming signal using spectral analysis and applies cuts or boosts using dynamic filters. Spiff does not use any crossovers in the process, which eliminates any possibility of crossover artifacts that can occur in multiband transient processors.
