Oeksound is best known for its dynamic resonance suppressor plugin Soothe. Its latest plugin Bloom arrived earlier this year, and like Soothe it’s designed to offer some smart tone-shaping tricks within an easy-to-use interface.
Where Soothe addresses problem frequencies, Bloom is all about bringing out the best in your instruments and audio sources, as well as adding warmth and character. Oeksound describes Bloom as an ‘adaptive tone shaper’. In practice, that means it combines elements of both EQ and compression.
In this video, we explore Bloom's UI and a variety of ways we can use it in a track.
If you’re interested in exploring what Bloom can do on one for your own projects, you can grab a 20-day free trial at the Oeksound site:
