Different purposes. Soothe is designed to attenuate harsh frequencies and resonances (it's technically a multiband compressor which targets frequencies with a tight Q) rather than an EQ. Smart EQ can be used as a standard EQ, but with AI to give you a good starting point for shaping your time. The group feature is used for unmasking.
Yo Paul, to be honest, I'm not entirely sure right now. It might depend on the situation, you know? But I'll definitely look into it and get back to you with a more concrete answer on how I feel about the Sonible Smart EQ and the Soothe2. Thanks a lot for the comment and for checking us out.
Yo, when I first saw the video with no sound, I was like, "Wow, it's perfect!" Funny how shit work out sometimes, huh? And I gotta say, thanks for coming back to the page to finally check out the video with the sound. I appreciate that. Thank u!!!
in my opinion this is one more step to digitalize uniformly the trend where everybody just spunds the same. Its the same Ai that will apply in so many mixes. No audible mix Character of the mix engineer anymore ..😊
Hi, that can become true but yet don't forget that these kind of AI tools are there to limit struggling and overtime spending. The human behind is always who will take the final decision ton bring emotion in the mix... 😉
@@pluginsmasters hi, yeah of course.. but as i see it the goal is primarly to get a good result.. . Ai is by far not jet there.. for me this kind of plugs harm more that do good. I tried soothe, Ai Mastering and this smart eqs. Very often the carve out exactly the frequencies of instruments that i want no to be carved out. They nearly destroyed a violin sound.. To my ears these stil not good enough. I can eq way faster a mix. This Smart eq where you continously need to choose options and move things back and forth not for me. I often listen to newly released stuff and its getting worse and worse.. thinner, emotionless, leveled, adjusted.. metallic all the same and cold. Thats why we all pursue that analog sound and dirtyness. But hey.. in the end anyone will choose what seems best. I recomnend exporting two versions and without knowing which one.. listen to before and after... thats what i did and the reason i will not buy soothe smart eq type of things untill rhey really please my ears. Thanks
I get what you're saying. Those days of recording on two-inch tape machines, where everything in the room played a part in the sound, were something special. Mixing was more organic back then, and I miss it too. I still have my 24 track MCI JH-24 tape machine!! Making a video to talk about this stuff sounds like a great idea. It's important to keep these conversations going and see how technology has changed things. There's always something new to learn and appreciate, right?
Yeah that’s makes totally sense in the way that all this process must be a shorter and a shorter amount of time because of the period we live. But it can be really useful to earn time and if you couple these AIs with analog gears in your chain!
How does this compete with Soothe2
