What about comparison with TBProAudio DSEQ3?

It's the wallet's killer.

This plugin isnt bad at all. Good job Waves

It's a SHAME because i use ArtAcoustics reverb VST2 format, now what i do ?

My first impulse would be "waves? No." But i bought soothe 2 times. And stopped buying oeksound plugins after spiff and having to buy soothe twice (because the first version just didn't work, so they fixed it and named it -2-). Now this looks a bit like Soothe with a touch of the bonkers expensive (for what it is) Bloom. And I'd have to update it 4 times after buying to get to the price of Bloom, or three times to reach my price for a functioning Soothe... The end of the story, i don't know, maybe "waves no" 😂

The tutorial said to try opening the dialogue isolate module and adjust the Noise Gate. But mine doesn't even have a dialogue isolate module or a Noise Gate. And if it does have it I never found it. I've been looking for it for a year. It came with a bundle when I bought the izotope mastering software. Update Why didn't the tutorial just tell me to open Pro Tools? I give this product one thumb up the ass

Deep inside the garden of Eden... Eden I'm standing there with my hard on bleeding There's a devil in my dick And some demons in my semen Good God no that would be treason

You deserve a lot more subscribers. Such a great channel. Keep at it ✌🏻

I love the track🔥🔥

For a guitarist, this plug is extremely hard to figure out.

I Love Waves !!! Since 2000

No Thanks. I am good on Waves.

£39 per year no thanks

bro have you checked out Tonebooster EQ Pro ?

I guess there will be a big rumour after this plugin, but when I see some brands publicizing their new vst compressor or analog synth and I see this, I understand this is something really new and doesn't happen often. Misuse is round the corner, but musical usage within the law has a lot of new possibilities. All in all I did backvocals from the main singer with Melodyne many years ago, now I think we all agree that backvocals with different timbres are more effective than the main singer backing herself.

how the output is 0 and there is still signal?

Wow. There's a bit of Soothe in there but it has the 4 bands of shaping like Bloom as well. It copies Smart Eq too with the analysis and has a standard Eq on top of it all. It also does a healthy dose of Smooth Operator. I like the interface better than all of them. $39 to replace all of this? Ouch. Let's see how it sounds...

I'm still not convinced that this is a Sooth killer, Sooth is special and I still keep it on my wishlist, even though it costs 200 dollar, which hopefully will drop a bit. The multiband functionallity of equator gives away that equator is not like Sooth, Sooth does a much better job of removing harshness! The same could be said about Waves Silk when I watched the review. Instead of trying to beat Sooth 2 , Waves should focus on getting awesome plugins emulations on the market! They have been messing around too much lately with plugin concepts which look aweful and modern and their unhealthy focus on A.I is also raising red flags! I would ratrher see studio gear emulations of famous units being crafted so people can get the gear their like but can't afford.

A: Because they know we're gullible and buy plugins we don't need?

Question: Why does Kiive think we need another saturation plugin? Answer: Yes! They've done it again!

One day I'm going to put all my saturation plugins together on one track at full power and see what kind of noise it makes.

what is your favourite?

It sounds good but we have loads that are similar now.

It's not a resonance surpessor

Music sounded great during the '70s through the '90s. We haven't "needed" any new tools since.

We have a million eqs and compressors, why does everyone either think soothe 2 cannot exist with other plugins. And the othet thing is the originality thing i like never options for different technology.

eerily similar to p42 saturator

I have various resonance suppressors and don't much like them. It's worth remembering that actual musical instruments consist of resonance generators. On synthetic instruments they are more useful. IMHO they need to be used minimally and with caution to avoid producing nasty synthetic noises....

I know i might sound like a loop by now but i was asking Dev`s for to add a SC filter by deffault on any saturation plugin. Imagine that some asked me „why?“ This one sounds good. Am not in my GAS feeling right now but maybe later. Need to eat first

Ahhh, come on, cyber drive just came out

I make experiential electric music 'without' any vocals would Equator work for me or would it not be needed?

Since I'm into DSP programming stuff myself, I got an entirely different view of the question "Do we need another XY plugin". Because it is like making music itself, it's not just economics to make money, it's fun, it's passion and pure satisfaction to learn something new and if things work as intended. At the same time you could ask the question "Do we need another song on Spotify?"

It looks like Pulsar Modular's P42 Climax Amp

Why wouldn't we?

It's a nice plugin.looks great Sounds good. However it's just 1 of the 100s of saturation plugins out there. I have 6 already and 1 of them is their excellent saturation plugin. Of course the plugin collector in me wants to jump and get it but I will show some discipline and move on

First.

Very informative review... but what is a sexy reverb?!?

I use Reso you guys tried it

What plugins would you prefer for live eqing concerning latency ? Waves Curves, Silk, soothe, or another?

I will use Waves again the day they stop their WUP or greatly reduce it's cost

I use reso .. have you compared it

Soothe has always sounded cardboard boxy to me....not sure what it is, but seems to flatten everything...

F***jengo!

1:40 Nothing can save that sound, that was painful. You'd seriously use that in a song?

Nice video, nice comparison ! For me, Soothe 2 is the king

Anything that can tame that sound at 2;45 so well is good for me.

Hey brother white noise, the key element and that's afforability. like $200 basically doing the same thing. well not exactly every little nuances but close enough to get the job done. Thanks for all you do great consistent content.

Honestly, plugin companies are out of ideas.

Soothe is king, always will be.

isnt there a way to change the db display i dont need 35db range 12db - 18db is more then enough to display....and also like melda does a realtime GR number would be helpful instead of guessing how much the upper blue stuff gets down...
