NAMM 2024: Oeksound introduces their latest product, Bloom.
Oeksound, a company known for developing top-notch professional audio plug-ins such as Soothe2 and Spiff, has recently unveiled their newest plug-in called Bloom, which is scheduled to be launched in the near future.
Bloom is a tool that adjusts the tone of a sound in a way that enhances its overall balance and creates a more refined sound. It analyzes the characteristics of the signal and applies corrections to produce a smoother and more polished result. This feature allows users to shape the tone and character of a track, such as adding warmth, brightness, or clarity. The adjustments made by Bloom are adaptable and responsive to the specific context, making it user-friendly and intuitive to use, just like the other highly acclaimed products from the same company. Furthermore, it ensures that the sound remains natural even when significant changes are made.
Soothe was at the forefront of a significant change in the expectations of audio professionals regarding their tools. This shift led to the development of more automated processes in audio production and a transition from technical process-focused products to processors that offer comprehensive solutions. We are confident that Bloom represents the next logical progression in this direction, as it brings adaptive processing to every channel in your project.
Bloom aims to create a more balanced sound by adjusting its main volume control. It does this by analyzing the input and adapting accordingly, with the help of Oeksound's engineers who have carefully optimized it. As a result, Bloom can be a helpful tool at the beginning of the mixing process, providing a convenient way to enhance and perfect the tonal qualities of a sound.
You can use four sliders in Bloom to adjust the frequency balance and customize the tone according to your preference. These sliders allow you to make small tweaks or drastic changes to the overall tonal balance, unlike an EQ which either decreases or increases certain frequencies. There is also a squash mode that activates a type of compression that varies based on the frequency. Bloom also offers attack and release controls, mid/side functionality, and a low latency mode.
According to Tommi Gröhn, a DSP developer and co-founder of Oeksound Ltd, Bloom performs similar functions to an EQ but eliminates a significant amount of manual effort, particularly when working with dynamic material. Additionally, Bloom offers a higher level of transparency compared to an EQ due to its adaptive nature. Instead of using fixed filters, Bloom adjusts boosts and cuts in real-time to accurately respond to the current requirements.
Bloom is the latest studio plug-in from Oeksound, released after a four-year gap since their previous plug-ins Soothe (2016), Spiff (2018), and Soothe2 (2020). Like their previous offerings, Bloom focuses on using advanced algorithms that have been carefully adjusted by ear to manipulate audio in a fast and artistic manner. However, Bloom diverges from being solely focused on addressing specific issues and instead emphasizes the ability to enhance the color and tone of the audio. It can still be used for audio correction, but it also provides a means to artistically shape the sound.
The software, Bloom, will be accessible and compatible in VST3, AU, and AAX formats.
