Dynamic sidechaining

[@ramspencer5492]

Soothe 2 side-chaining can be really transparent.. if use them everywhere from the low mids through the mids, to the highs... Very softly unmasking and giving priority to certain instruments of other instruments... To main vocals over background vocals... You can get this seamless space in the mix to get everything to say it where you want it to sit... Certainly this is not something that's absolutely needed... Or need it on every track..... But by using it often and subtly you can create some interesting life and cohesion and it makes

[@ThisIsOnesto]

When used correctly, Soothe 2 is a master of transparency. It sounds like you’re a power user, that’s a great way to get everything to play nice with each other.

It was such a different way to mix for me, and you taught it so well. It's amazing, for real. Saving for later!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

I love Soothe 2. I use it in every project. Thanks for watching, glad the video could help!

[@yeserguitar]

Maybe it's not a good comment but I wanted to mention that when you don't hear a significant difference, you honestly say that. I liked it. I think it's because I didn't hear a difference as well :D Very good video, thank you!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Thanks for watching and for the good word! I honestly was a little embarrassed that there was hardly a difference in that example. But sometimes it's good to show the mistakes and imperfections. It certainly reminds me not to take myself too seriously haha!

Thanks bro. Just try to make useful stuff for the community.

[@scottanstine379]

I don’t see many people speaking on how soothe 2 can be used for strictly beats. Share the knowledge! I just purchased it

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Nice! You’re gonna love Soothe 2. Whenever I have something harsh or unruly I slap it on there and it sounds a lot better. I’ve been putting it on bass a lot lately and wow, what a difference. Thanks for watching!

[@vancenichols9490]

Such a helpful tutorial! Thanks!!!

Thanks so much for the feedback, and thanks for watching!

[@guillaumegodin1579]

I like your sidechain trick, good job!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Thanks, it's pretty cool especially when applied to eliminating making!

[@nebroskitheraut6705]

Thanks, I will apply these tips the next time I use Soothe2! Ngl I also didnt know how tk use it effectively before seeing this video haha

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Hey good hearing from you again! Happy to share these tips. Soothe 2 works great out of the box so it makes sense why a lot of us neglect learning how to really use it

[@nebroskitheraut6705]

@@ThisIsOnesto I agree 😁

[@nesrinejabelli1509]

Should I put soothe 2 first in chain

[@diafacultativo]

also I couldn't stop thinking about how similar that guitar was to that coca-cola jingle hahaha

[@JackParker]

Thanks for this, and have just bought this! Will hopefully be a game changer now!!. Just one thing, when you boosted the frequencies at the end there, from the point of view of the mix, would this be turning up the volume? Or would you gain that back down again? I am also trying to improve my mixing, and dynamic range/luffs louder mixes and so on, so just trying to learn lol! Thanks for the tutorial

[@NoMoreLivesMusic]

Did you find an answer to this question?

[@cstoomey]

Apparently the sidechaining in Smoothe2 is more precise than normal sidechain compression and only side chains the frequencies that are being masked as opposed to the whole region/area. That's why, apparently.

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Thanks for letting me know. It seems like it'll get you a very transparent sidechain, which I'm sure is helpful in many situations. Thanks again for the help!

Best soothe video.

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Hey thanks for watching and letting me know. I try to make the best content I can for everyone, so your comment means a lot!

[@onceuponascale]

Thanks for putting together this great tutorial. One question though. Isn’t that just like a regular eq?

[@ThisIsOnesto]

That's a great question. And here's the best answer that I can give. Soothe 2 is kind of like an EQ, in that it's cutting out frequencies, like you would with a notch in an EQ. However Soothe 2 is much much more than an EQ. Soothe 2 analyzes and identifies harsh frequencies in a sound and helps "soothe" it by dynamically cutting out those harsh frequencies. So it's constantly making those cuts, in a precise and sound preserving way. It could do a few other tricks, but this is the main purpose and use of Soothe 2. Hope that answer helps! Thanks again for watching!

[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

great vid thanks! liked and subscribed :). So , If I'm not mistaken, the sidechain mode is basically like the izotope neutron EQ masking feature but it does the cuts for you which makes it simpler and quicker. I really need this plugin! :) Cheers!

[@ThisIsOnesto]

Thanks for the watch and sub! And yes you're pretty much spot on. I would add that Soothe is more accurate and transparent as well compared to Neutron!

[@bille77]

But isn't that the same approach like notching in dynamic eq? I thought soothe is but a tool to save you some time. 🧐

[@ThisIsOnesto]

That's a great question. And here's the best answer that I can give. Soothe 2 is kind of like a dynamic EQ, in that it's cutting out frequencies when a harsh frequency crosses a threshold. However Soothe 2 is much much more than a dynamic EQ. Soothe 2 automatically analyzes and identifies harsh frequencies in a sound and helps "soothe" it by precisely cutting out those harsh frequencies across the entire frequency spectrum. So it's constantly making those cuts, in a precise and sound preserving way. It could do a few other tricks, but this is the main purpose and use of Soothe 2. I know in the video, it seems like the process takes a long time since I'm having to explain and walkthrough everything. But in real scenarios, I'm just placing soothe on a track and maybe adjusting a knob or two. Hope that answer helps! Thanks again for watching!
