Is this an almost-free alternative to soothe 2? Let me know in the comments below!
@MattStevens9824 2 ай бұрын
Excellent review and demo, as always! Thank you for the dive! That swish/ringing sound associated with the resonance sweep was hard to pin down at first but the plugin tamed it effectively. This is a winner at this price point! I hope WA productions displays the perceived resonances more clearly in the GUI on a future update.

Thank you! Yes, I agree: I meant to mention that I though the frequency analyzer wasn't very useful, i.e., you can barely see if there is any gain reduction at all, or what the "problem" frequencies are. Good call!

This is the best resonance plugin I've ever tried. (And I have them all, including Soothe 2). I was able to fix a problem master in two seconds. Great recommendation, thank you!!!

@@esahm373 WA Production, United Plugins, UVI and Melda Production are owned by Image-Line they all are sister companies and indeed they share some features and frameworks. In this case Deres is sharing the oversampling and preset algorithm of Melda but it's not a Melda Plugin. Almost all plugins from all other companies recently coming out are using Juce Framework for example.

Soothe acts on multiple frequencies at the same time, with Deres you have to choose only one resonant frequency and only other ones very close to the choosed via the Q setting.
@palebluedotstudios 2 ай бұрын
Definitely. It's focused. I would say it's clearly not acting in the spectral domain on multiple dynamic bands, like soothe 2; but I find it very effective, with lots of options for sculpting your sound. Oh yeah: and it's cheap! Thanks for watching!

Sometimes there really is only one nasty resonance... And Smoothe 2 can be overkill.... A lot of people have had to dial back their soothe 2 use.... After making things too tame
@palebluedotstudios 2 ай бұрын
@@ramspencer5492 Oh, I agree. soothe 2 definitely is overused. And often with my own mixes, I kill these resonances and then I A/B with a reference mix, and I'm like, "Oh: this Zeppelin track has tons of resonances in the guitars!", and I back off the processing. Always good to be careful and have a reality-check! Cheers!
@stevespacek8893 24 күн бұрын
Soothe is a great plugin. But I love these types of plugins even more. Deres in particular does show Soothe up to be overkill in most situations. So far, I’ve found Deres to be so elegant n simple in use. Plus they understand that in doing this type of sculpting, you might wanna add some vibe back in, with those extra tone controls. Personally, I believe that Soothe is in no way worth multiple times more than a plugin like Deres. My experience with overpriced plugins is that you can always find many cheaper alternatives- some even for free- and in many cases with way more charm and vibe than those with high stickers. Ultimately all subjective of course;)
@stevespacek8893 24 күн бұрын
Or forgot to say, you can work on multiple frequencies same time with Deres too. If you combine and adjust the octave function along with the Q knob, then dial in the dynamic function. Then effectively you have dynamic resonance suppression on multiple frequencies at the same time. With each of those controls being infinitely variable, within the audible and visually displayed frequency ranges.
@MLaudio20 2 ай бұрын
I’d like to see this get a larger frequency spectrum you can attenuate. Something lower than 1khz,
@palebluedotstudios 2 ай бұрын
That would be good. Also, I think the frequency display could be more useful. It's hard to see why it's there, apart from looking cool. Cheers!

can it sidechain vocals to instrumentals? that's literally the only use for soothe
@palebluedotstudios Ай бұрын
No, Deres can’t sidechain at all. I’d quite effective for broad resonance correction, but it’s not really a dynamic plugin. Very good for the price. Cheers!

Seems like a better till than Soothe 2 for many kinda of resonance suppression... Not a better tool overall.... Different. Better for some things... Won't do others. Would work well as an additional tool in the tool box....
@palebluedotstudios 2 ай бұрын
I agree, definitely not a replacement for soothe. It's only doing single-band reduction; no forensic correction sessions with Deres. But it's one to grab for quick track fixes; really good for clearing room in background vocal stacks! Cheers!

Don't you think Deres is just an EQ with a different workflow?

You know, in PluginDoctor, it looks like a standard EQ notch filter; but WA Productions indicate there is more going on, such as dynamics and "convolution response". I'm awaiting word from them about this-thanks!

This is more a de-esser / dynamic EQ type plugin. Not really comparable to Soothe. Soothe is way more advanced.
