After a month of heavy using three tools - SmartEQ by Sonible, Gullfoss by Soundtheory and Soothe by Oeksound, I can surely tell you they do diffferent things and they aren't redundant in a pack! After demo periods I decided to buy all of them (thank you, Black Friday!). Why?1. SmartEQ is a static EQ which is partially a problem solver and partially an assistant in making first EQing decisions. I was very skeptical about this tool, yet its presets for various sources (vocals, guitars, orchestral tools etc) are surprisingly good and adequate. It's just a time saver and a source of additional ideas ("I would never think about EQing this track this way and it works!"). I use its additional manual bands and Pro-Q3 to correct what I don't like, I need to add/remove etc. But I really can focus on polishing my tracks/groups details, not on sooo many problems to be solved initially.2. Soothe is a great de-esser, that is for sure. It's also a really good resonance remover/frequency balance/smoothing tool, but it required more time to set it right in my case. I found its initial setting really confusing and useless, I don't know why developers chose this one to start with.Soothe comes after SmartEQ and Pro-Q3 as a problem solver for minor issues that can't be solved with static EQ-ing. Sometimes I use it, sometimes I don't, but I find it extremely helpful in many cases.3. Gullfoss comes at the end of my EQ chain as a tool for making things better in general. This thing is absolutely amazing, I would call it a "bettermaker", a "wonder tool", you name it, it just adds some additional presence and clarity you might have missed when mixing. It totally shines on groups (this very right moment I'm having it on my Spitfire strings group) and any complex sources, not so efficient on speech, synth/guitar leads/solos, basses etc. It sometimes adds some magic sparkling on your master, too.It's extremely easy to use, intuitive, getting you right to the desired state of things. Don't expect it to solve heavy problems, use it to get your mix to 110-115% of regular performance.That's it from me on this topic, I highly recommend all of the tools I described above, they definitely changed the way I work and mix. Cheers and have a good 2020!

Separate elements of a bus, control dynamics, and add punch and impact to sounds.A voltage-controlled amplifier (VCA) bus compressor, like the Bettermaker Bus Compressor, often includes a threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain control. Combined, these parameters allow you to affect the way in which gain reduction is applied to audio signals. Perhaps you want to apply quick and responsive gain reduction or take a slower and smoother approach; the nature of the audio content you’re processing will inform this decision. Buy Bettermaker Bus CompressorThreshold: The threshold parameter affects the level at which gain reduction is applied to the signal.Ratio: Adjusting the ratio affects the intensity of the compression applied.Attack: Modifying the attack setting affects how quickly gain reduction is applied when the signal breaches the compressor’s threshold level.Release: The release knob modifies the speed at which gain reduction stops being applied to the signal when it drops below the threshold.Makeup Gain: Using the makeup gain control, you can add a static gain boost to the signal to make a loudness-matched A/B comparison.An optical compressor like the NEOLD U2A can also be used to apply bus compression. Many LA-2A style optical compressors provide a simple design that revolves around a peak reduction (threshold) knob, a makeup gain knob, and a switch that allows you to toggle between compression and limiting. Buy NEOLD U2AOptical compressors are usually simple to use and can be a great choice for certain types of bus compression. They typically have a slow attack that helps

Maintain the snappy character of sounds and a relatively slow, non-linear release that sounds natural.The Bettermaker Bus Compressor includes plenty of controls that allow you to fine-tune the sound of compression applied, while the NEOLD U2A, though easier to use, requires you to match it to an appropriate processing task. The compressor you choose can also have a drastic effect on the tonal character of your bus.Throughout the remainder of this blog, you’ll discover six ways to use a bus compressor in your mix, gaining comprehensive insight into when and how to apply various types of bus compression. Additionally, you’ll learn about selecting an appropriate type of compressor for different scenarios. 1. Glue compressionIt’s quite common to apply bus compression to the stereo bus or master track of your mix. Doing this can “glue” your mix together, providing all of your sub-groups with a sense of togetherness. If your vocal bus sounds like it’s living in a different space than your guitar bus, some gentle stereo bus compression might be the answer.You don’t want to use extreme compression settings when applying bus compression in this way. A little compression goes a long way. The effect should sound subtle but noticeable when bypassed. Select a ratio setting of 2:1 for laid-back tracks or 4:1 for more aggressive songs.Set the attack time around 30 ms to allow transient material to pass through the compressor. If the drums in your mix sound too pokey or stabby, you can reduce the attack time to

Massage them into the mix.Use a release time between 100–1,200 ms so that the compressor breathes with the tempo of the music. Choosing a release time that’s too fast can lead to pumping effects, distortion, and killing the natural dynamics of your mix. Too slow, and you’re at risk of volume inconsistencies and reduced clarity. You can apply some makeup gain to loudness match the signal running in and out of the compressor to make an accurate A/B comparison. On the topic of loudness, the main purpose of glue compression isn’t necessarily to maximize loudness. That’s sometimes a byproduct of glue compression, depending on how fast you’ve set your attack time, but its main function is to provide your mix with a sense of cohesion.The Bettermaker Bus Compressor is well suited for master bus compression because it has a musical sound that manages to maintain clarity, which can be desirable when mastering. One of the most interesting things about this bus compressor is that regardless of how fast you set the attack, it manages to maintain the perception of clear and punchy transient material, which is usually what you want when applying glue compression. 2. Drum bus compressionApplying bus compression to your drum bus can enhance the impact and energy of the drums in your mix. This process is particularly effective in bringing together the various elements of a drum kit, such as the kick, snare, hi-hat, and toms. Drum bus compression can make the difference between drum kit recordings
