In this video I review Oeksound Bloom. A newly released plugin which acts like auto equalizer similar to iZotope Ozone 11 Stabilizer, Soundtheory Gullfoss.

I go thorough it’s pros and cons and I’ll show you how to use it on different tracks. At the in I’ll test it on different elements like vocals, drum bus and guitars to see how does it works.
Bloom is an adaptive tone shaper or kind of automatic equalizer that analyzes the incoming signal and applies corrections to the perceived tonal balance of the sound by cutting or boosting frequencies. Because of its adaptive nature, the corrections are constantly changing depending on the input signal.
It makes the sound more balanced by automatically cutting unwanted elements and boosting where necessary. Exactly like Soundtheory Gullfoss which has been released 4 years ago. Bloom automatically compensates for changes made in one frequency area by adjusting others, to achieve a balanced sound.
in this situation something like auto equalizer or adaptive tone shaper comes handy. Because they can prevent you from making wrong decisions based on your untreated room. no! Mixing with headphones never was an option. Because you can’t achieve a great mix with headphones.

If you think it's not possible to mix or master on headphones. Glenn Schick mixes and masters only on headphones., he doesn't use speakers (Justin Bieber, J. Cole, Future, etc).

I cannot accept that. to me mixing on headphones is x100 harder than mixing in an untreated room. lol

Great video. McDSP SA-3 is another alternative. I'd love a video that compares these 2!

Thank you for the suggestion. I'll take a look at it.

Bloom is great, but easily to overdo. It can fix things but also suck out the life of a mix. Always use your ears before your eyes when mixing!

I've noticed that a small amount can achieve significant results.

Both Bloom and Gullfoss are so powerful and easily to overdo.

It's all subjective. While, yes it can help with conpensating to acheive a good "balance". If you over do it, you can easily make everything sound way too similar and basically become brown paint. It's inperfections and little details in a mix that makes it shine. Also - mixing both on headphones + a great treated room with decent speakers is prefereable as they both magnify difference issues/problems in your mix. Becareful with plug ins that become bandages. You can rely on them too much and stunt your growth as an artist/mixing engineer. Even tho i disagreed with some points, great video! Keep up the good work :)

People keep saying this about this plugin but you could also say that about using an EQ, so I think it’s kind of silly. There’s tons of room to be creative with this.

Overdoing anything can ruin your mix, not just this plugin. Even excessive use of a compressor can negatively impact your mix. This is a fact that many artists and mixing engineers face due to the lack of access to perfectly treated rooms. However, this plugin offers opportunities for creativity. For example, you can apply parallel vocal compression without boosting the sibilances, and it can be used in various other ways.

Some time ago I agreed that it was impossible to mix on headphones and have a good balanced sound, but now everything has changed, VSX slate arrived so you don't have to spend on expensive acoustics and monitors, you said that mixing with headphones is not an option, but now it is ! It's better than expensive monitors!

I hope so. I have to try VSX and Waves NX too.

You're in the comments saying overusing any plugin is bad, and I agree with this. What I am saying though, is that I don't know if you're even able to recognize when something is overcooked. My proof is in the example you used in the first 10 seconds. The image shrunk, the impact was lessened, the front to back depth disappeared, shidddd even the sustain was killed. If you need help hearing this stuff, turn the volume all the way down in your headphones or speakers, low enough that if someone was tryna have a conversation with you while you're trying to listen, you'd tell them to shut up. When it's that quiet, your brain eventually gets used to that volume level (usually a 30-45 second adjustment period for your brain just attunes itself to this low level), and then it is way easier to hear what I'm talking about. This is EXACTLY why you shouldn't mix with your eyes!!!!!
