    Anyone tried Smooth Operator? I just got it last night after considering buying Oeksound Soothe to correct some nasty resonances from a guitarist that thinks he's in Sigor Ros. This is just out and seems to do most of what i need at $39 - already finding a ton of uses in the mix... Somewhere inbetween EQ, Compression and Spectral Restoration, surprisingly intuitive UI. About as close to a "sound fucking great" button that i've ever heard.

    • Been looking for a kind of surgical filter for post-recording tweaks. Fabfilter Pro Q looks good. This might do the same job and more for less money.mort_
    • Also, maybe the Ableton EQ 8 is just fine and I want the shiny new thing.mort_
    • pro-eq is fantastic but i find when you get surgical (ie expanding or compressing tight bands for resonance control) any eq will get a bit mushykingsteven
    • I replaced an instance of pro-eq on said guitar part... before/ after: https://imgur.com/a/…
      SO surprises all the resonances in the reverb tails without      kingsteven
    • sucking near 8dB from the fundamentalkingsteven
    • *suppresses, *pro-q - i would suggest pro-q first to anyone that doesn't have it tbh. it is incredibly clean, great mid/side control and very quick to dial inkingsteven
    • Appreciate the recommendation, cheers.mort_
    • Have you played around with NI Guitar Rig? I got that last night inevitably getting lost for 4 hours just in presets. Seems intuitive though and sounds greatIanbolton
    • Gotta get the new Guitar Rig, but i use v5? a ton. This song was tracked live with 2 mics and no DI so I shafted myself there :Dkingsteven
    • Lol @ guitarist that thinks he's in Sigor Rosmantrakid
