oeksound soothe2 is a dynamic resonance suppressor plugin that automatically reduces harsh, spiky, and boxy frequencies only when they appear, so your tracks stay natural while the annoying stuff gets controlled. Think of it like a smart, cut-only dynamic EQ that reacts in real time to resonances on vocals, guitars, cymbals, synths, dialogue, and even full mixes. If you mix modern vocals, bright drums, dense synth stacks, or sharp instruments, soothe2 is one of the fastest ways to clean up harshness and keep your mix smooth without over-EQing.
🎛️ What’s Inside
| Module / Feature |
What it does |
Perfect for |
| Dynamic Resonance Suppression |
Detects resonant frequency peaks on the fly and applies matching reduction automatically, only when those resonances become problematic. |
Harsh vocals, cymbal edge, boomy room tones, synth resonance, guitar harshness. |
| Frequency Nodes |
Place nodes across the spectrum to guide what soothe2 listens to and how strongly it reacts in each band. |
Targeting sibilance zones, controlling harsh upper mids, taming low mid buildup. |
| Soft and Hard Modes |
Two character options for how reduction behaves, from smoother and more transparent to tighter, more direct control. |
Gentle vocal smoothing or heavier resonance control for sharp sources. |
| Attack, Release, and Selectivity |
Control how fast the plugin reacts and how narrowly it focuses on resonant peaks, helping you avoid dullness while still cleaning up the tone. |
Keeping detail on vocals, preserving drum snap, smoothing synth stacks without flattening. |
| Mid Side and Stereo Processing |
Work in stereo or Mid Side to control harshness in the center or tame resonances in the sides without changing the whole image. |
Wide synths, stereo overheads, mix bus cleanup, mastering tone control. |
| External Sidechain |
Use sidechain input to make soothe2 react to another track, useful for frequency-aware ducking and masking control. |
Vocal vs instrumental masking, guitars vs vocals, dense mix separation. |
| Eco and Render Modes |
Efficiency options for smoother playback in large sessions, plus higher quality options for offline rendering when needed. |
Big sessions, mastering chains, CPU management, clean final bounces. |

💡 Pro Tip
On vocals, start with a moderate Depth and a slightly slower Attack so you smooth harshness without making the voice dull. If you want a cleaner top end for pop and hip hop, focus your nodes around the upper mids and presence range, then use Mid processing so the vocal stays clear in the center.
