Effects • Re: Curves Equator a "Soothe Killer" from Waves

I have an album almost ready to master, and one particular song has a bit of an obnoxious resonance at a particular spot.
Soothe is probably the better tool for this, and maybe better yet would be Master the Mix's RESO.

Are these your productions, meaning you have access to the individual tracks? Obviously the best place to deal with this. Otherwise automating Soothe or RESO in the offending spot will probably give you a better result than these dynamic EQ tools.
My own production, but the way I work (with a blend of hardware and software) is to record the stereo mix of improvisations in real time, rather than individual stems or submixes. Then sometimes I overdub. That would probably drive some folks crazy but I find it easy to work with and to keep myself moving forward rather than looking back or second-guessing my choices. Only once in a while do I wish I could isolate a particular part.

I had Gullfoss and returned it for a refund, and I've demo'd Soothe and didn't really find it better than TEOTE.

If you have one particular problematic frequency poking out every once in a while, I highly recommend just using a good low-ringing EQ like EQuilibrium and notch out the frequency until it doesn't bother any more.

Soothe and other similar tools are not optimal for that particular job. A single narrow EQ band will be much better at the task, at least in mastering
Yep. An automated fix for stuff like that would be a handy lazy shortcut if it did work well, though :hihi:

Anyway, decided to go ahead with Equator since it seems to be working well as a general "sound nicer" sort of thing and the intro price is OK.

...also either there were features I didn't notice this morning, or registering it unlocks more controls. I honestly don't remember a Sensitivity control on it this morning, and Mid/side balance under "Advanced Controls" is very nice to have.
