Gullfoss has it's own logic and can be either great or sometimes completely off the mark. TEOTE and DSEQ are the most predictable as you have a clear target curve that these both use as the basis for the correction. It can be a bit confused by strange audio sources like a hollow additive pad that have strange frequency response (like a pad with mainly even harmonics in it). It is at it's best on more complex full spectrum audio and doesn't seem to work all that well on single sources. In my opinion Gullfoss doesn't really like simplistic sources of audio. Soothe is the most unpredictable but it is also the most effective in dealing with really difficult single source material, in my opinion. At least to my ear, the actual processing they do according to their 'intelligence' of what to remove, sounds very different. They each have their own way of measuring what they enhance or remove. I don't think Soothe, DSEQ, TEOTE nor Gullfoss are similar, even though they sort of look like it when looked at quickly. I'm using Soothe mainly as it was intended to be used, to solve critical issues with individual sources where there are ringing non-musical frequencies that need to be controlled. There I much prefer TEOTE and sometimes Gullfoss. I haven't had any success using it on the mixbus or busses in general. I mainly use Soothe 2 for individual sound sources. Because it's already 3 plug-ins that I'm trying out, I have been hesitant to add TEOTE to the process because that would just make it even more involved.īut I feel good about the fact that each of these are doing similar things but sound different enough to give me options. I try to limit doing this to only things that are important and need it. I just go with the one that sounds best and try to think beforehand that one is best. I don't get into trying to beat any one of them into shape and don't drift too far from the settings I think work best for each. I have basic settings on all of them I like as starting points that I may tweak a bit then I can listen through the 3 of them pretty quickly and one usually jumps out as the best for what's at hand. I find if I have a mix or a sub that I want to 'intelligently' shape a bit, it's best if I give all 3 of these a quick listen if I have the time. Sometimes Soothe2 sounds better, sometimes DSEQ3, and sometimes Gulfoss.
