I think this might be perfect for artist, to get close to the sound we want. I'm not saying to replace the mix engineer, but normally you have a sound in mind that you cannot express. This seems really intuitive. You might get close to that sound before you send it to mix.

Big Z, even though I'm subbed, I did a search for your name in YT just to be able to quickly get back to your channel since YT hasn't been putting your vids in my feed lately.

I know a bunch of people are outraged by the price, but for me I can comfortably afford it and ANYTHING that saves me time and allows me to get good sounding music out quicker is worth it to me.

Bloom is a multiband spectral compressor, not just a regular multiband compressor. Gives it more detail and ease of use. I think it's worth getting!

I love that vocal, I made a track with the same one lol.

Thanks for the Review. I own Spiff and Soothe and I gotta say I'm a little disappointed that there isn't any sort of discount for good customers. 200 Bucks is a lot for a PlugIn, especially if you can get there with PlugIns I already have. I'll wait for some kind of deal.

When Bloom gets into squash it's designed to behave quite differently vs keeping the amount under squash, which is contributing the most to what you describe as bringing up the sustain, it's not just doing that by default.

Sick ❤

I appreciate the detailed comparison between Bloom and existing tools in your arsenal. Given the similarities in functionality with multi-band compressors, it raises a question: Do you foresee yourself using Bloom predominantly for specific tasks, or will it replace your current go-to plugins for tone shaping and dynamics control?New subscriber here

Cheers for the review . Oek normally a staple in the set up

Alright fine! I’ll buy it

this track is fuckin siiiiiiick

hi zach, long time subscriber and fan of your work here 🙋‍♂️, the amount of value your channel provided to me is insane so thank you, now I would ask you how can a unknown bedroom producer start career and make decent income from it, maybe make a video where you talk about how you got started and achieve career out of it

OK so the plugin is cool and all but that track is poppin! Love that bass sound! Bravo

best thing is the song here :)

you forgot to mention doesnt it take alot cpu? how about latency does it add much?

This guy knows his stuff

how do you do the shake screen effect on the intro?

Nice one! I sort of feel the same way about this plugin. A bit too expensive for what it is but will speed stuff for sure! ☘💪🏽👀👍🏽☘

You are really a genius ♥️

At first I also thought this was going to be just another "multiband" or "shaping" eq plugin. Also convinced myself a few times there are a lot of better plugins out there, in fact cheaper or better. But after days of using the trial mode, I did notice that it doesn't only equalize/compress a lot of frequencies. It's AI also makes the sound a lot warmer compared to other plugins. It does add/reduce some frequencies and makes it more pleasing. IMO it really does a lot more things than just flattening it or compressing it. It's expensive but I see why it is priced as such. I just wish they can give loyal oeksound customers a better deal.

Outrageous cost for what it does. As always, knowing what's already in the market (and works generally better) would help. The rest is marketing.

yes

Yes

Hi zach can you make a video where you disect/analyze some future disco tracks ? (kylie Minogue's New Album for example)

I've come to realise that Spiff is OEK's most powerful and useful plugin. The way you can completely sculpt the RMS of a sound before saturation and compression is where the fat juicy drums come from. Soothe 2 is great but man the texture and fatness you can get out od Spiff is unparalleled.

The other question is whether you know how to work a multi band compressor or other devices well enough to get the results of bloom. If you do then you don't need this. Setting up those multi-band compressors that you showed makes my brain hurt. I like the fact that I can play around with it and see if I like what it is doing. I don't have to think about it much when I mix. Like others are saying, this gives me my time back.

First off I love Soothe2 and always use just a bit of it in vocal and master chains, but I don't see the clear need for this plugin at least not yet. I mean Soothe2 already does something super similar and its resonance suppression can affect the tonal balance and somewhat flatten the spectrum as well, plus its sidechaining features are incredible. But there is literally no immediate audible difference in your A/B master example at the end of the video. But it needs more testing. I personally like flattening my music as much as possible at least in the mids and highs to reduce ear fatigue and there's already quite a bit of tools for that, compression, eq, dynamic or multiband compression, resonance compression (soothe2), waveshaping

Can you make a tutorial on creating a perfect bass for Techno? For example Avao "Text Me" is sounding soo good in the low end.

how what version "easy to love you" play at the beginning of the video?

O 'eck is what I said when I saw the price

How did you get the vocals for this track? Is that a library or do you hire/know singers that are able to record the vocals for you to use? Been trying to learn how to get something like that for dance/edm tracks but I always assume it is some group or recording studio setup with access to singers. Those of us hobbyists at home, unsure how we would be able to get that.. at least until AI improves and we could use that to generate (sort of kidding.. but reality is that will likely be the way to do this soon).

It’s a vocal from splice, I used it too

By the way: NICE TRACK!

Oeksound Spring Sale coming up soon here :)

0:09 whats that track holy shiiiiieeett i need it

seems very similar to the tone shaper in izotope ozone, maybe more sensitive tho

Aside from the great video this is a pretty sick track you should release it

So they said you can increase highs without getting artifacts that a normal eq would bring , also it adapts to the frequency and targets what each frequency is trying to achieve so in the lows you would have muddy frequencies and it targets warmth for example so it’s pretty good at saving time . Watch the oeksound team use it and it sounds great on vocals

Great video as usual! Thank you! I think this plugin does the same as Equalizer plugin by Wavesfactory. Am I wrong? Equalizer is a kind of 32-band dynamic eq with the goals of literally equalise the signal of all 32 bands reacting to the incoming signal, with a variety of controls similar to the ones on this Bloom plugin (but cheaper). Can you make a comparison of these two plugins please?

So good to see you BIG Z

Oh eck - right out of bloody Yorkshire, I tell thee

it kinda does the same as smooth operator by baby audio.

looking in shape!! I really enjoy the GUI compared to FFMB, think ill prob buy this as well

My own track called ‘Easy To Love’ - it’s still unreleased but I’ll be dropping in the next 2-3 months

So if you drove Gulfoss into OTT and gave it Soothe's interface and made it pink.

Same here. Mixed much faster with bloom. Love it

first thought was, that design looks like soothe2

From a design and technology perspective, this software is really brilliant. Great UI, great UX, really impressive stuff going on under-the-hood. Sadly I think because their marketing is fairly opaque and seems to underestimate the end-user, all that really stands out is the outrageous pricetag. :(

ProAudioDSP can do the same and more

it seems a gullfoss-ish auto balancer with a tone shaping eq... for 200 I'll turn the question around: can Bloom do what Pro-q 3 / Pro-MB can do ? 😎

Ur conclusion at the end was very well tought out! Kinda reminded me of my father haha

People can use it how ever they want but people should kinda understand the “‘amount” knob a bit more. Pushing it into compression mode is a whole different animal.

Gulfoss or Bloom? Anyone compared them yet?

​@@alfasonicstudiosBloom sounds more natural

It's not the same as the Pro MB. Pro MB as you're using is doing downward compression. The Bloom is doing upward compression. You can notice it when you use a percussive element. The transient stayed intact because its not downward compression but upward. Thats why you notice about the sharpness. Its just the transients that stay the same.

It's a $59 plugin. The other two are good enough from Oek for me

bro i irl pogged when i saw 209 buckaroonies

I wish I'd understand everything you just did :-)

would you mix and master a song for me and make a tutorial on how you done?

I don't think it's all that special, the charm of mixing is using you set of plugins you know from your arsenal of plugins ,getting into a frenchy of new stuff you hope to works can be a trap you might not wanna fall into. That is why I need something special from a plugin ,to give me what I can't get from what I know what works. I quess they ran out of ideas for new plugins, but then again, I think everyone should buy Sooth anyway....But this is a problem with many plugins these days...And wave is guilty to of re-using old pluging and label it brand new.. you feel me?

Thanks you save me money😅😂

I need a compressor to control my impulses buying all plugins that are great (Bloom is great)

I'm listening to this demo and I understand what you really need for your production 😁 And this is hardware. Believe me, when you run your clean, neat multitrack through the hardware channel strip (SSL fusion or 500 rack you have assembled), you will hear just the sound that distinguishes ITB production from world-class sound. First of all, the bottom will change for the better, but also the top will soften, while the top end will become much more readable. In your case, as a professional producer, you need to stop spending money on software

I dont think is a plugin that will use it in many tracks...so the saving time is not a big factor as if this plugin can do wonders than others cant

I feel like Wavesfactory Equalizer already handles tonally flattening sound and also supports mid-side. You can just pair that with a transient shaper to bring out the sustain side of something if you wanted. Ozone 11's Clarity module also kind of does this tonal balance stuff as well. OTT or ADPTR Sculpt is also something that can more or less do something similar from a multiband compression stand point. Upwards compression also can emulate bringing up the sustain part because it's going to take the quieter parts and bring it up, so you can do that with any multiband compressors that supports upwards compression. I personally can't justify the cost for this given what else is out there that's still simple enough in interface that you don't have to go as heavy in depth with something like Fab Filter Pro MB 2.

I have time. 😊

Baby Audio Smooth Operator. 🙂

Your conclusion was exactly what I was thinking. So rn its a no for me, but maybe its a useful investment in the future

It's worth USD 25. With a different skin colour maybe 35.

What's wrong with this vocal? Sounds weird especially in lower range. There is some stutter effect or it's just your CPU burnin?
