Oeksound Soothe3 — a resonance suppression plugin

Oeksound has released an updated version of its popular plugin to mark its tenth anniversary. It supports Windows 10 or later and macOS 10.14 or later in VST3, AU and AAX formats.

The new version responds better to a source's overall tonal balance, improving full-range processing. The Soft and Hard modes introduced in Soothe2have been refined. Soft is now almost independent of input level, while Hard behaves more like a compressor. Soothe3 adds a low-latency mode for recording and live sound, plus multichannel support for configurations up to 9.1.6.

Sharpness and Selectivity are combined into one Detail control for quicker, simpler reduction of harsh resonances. The side panel adds Tilt and Max Cut alongside the existing stereo controls. The main improvement is better sound through a new algorithm for more transparent processing.
