Soft mode is a smarter mode which is easier to use and introduces less artefacts while avoiding making drastic cuts. Soothe2’s suppression process now has two different modes that react differently to the input material. Targeting low and sub frequencies opens up many new possibilities to use soothe2 when mixing and mastering. Where the original soothe was limited to the mid, high mid and treble range, soothe2 allows the whole audible frequency range to be processed. Rewritten graphics rendering to offload most of the GUI drawing to the GPU for improved FPS even on older machines.Quality settings can be adjusted separately for offline rendering.Lower CPU load all-together, along with an even lighter Eco quality setting.Two different processing modes for different use cases.Completely overhauled processing algorithm.Licenses can be activated onto a machine or to the optional iLok USB-key.

A fully functional 20-day trial period will be available. An upgrade license from soothe to soothe2 will be available for EUR 50. Soothe2 will be available at on Janufor the price of EUR 199, supporting both macOS and Windows using the VST, VST3, Audio Units and AAX plug-in formats. It can be used for a range of applications across the full frequency range: To reduce harshness in close-mic’d audio material, to achieve very transparent de-essing, to combat and reduce muddiness and to even out the bass frequencies. Soothe2 works by automatically detecting resonances in the audio material and then applying a reduction that matches the input signal. The biggest challenge in creating soothe2 has been to improve every aspect of the original while retaining the ease-of-use, but I feel we’ve managed to achieve that”, the company founder Olli Keskinen says. “Taking soothe completely apart and redesigning the plug-in from the ground up has allowed us to make huge improvements to the sound quality and usability, while lowering the latency and reducing the CPU load of the plug-in. These include the expansion of the processing to full frequency range, the addition of attack and release speed parameters, and the inclusion of two processing modes suitable for different situations. Soothe2 is a complete rewrite of the original soothe plug-in, offering improvements in performance and sound while adding many new features.
