The Apex Audio Soothe 2 Preset Pack is your ultimate toolkit for surgical tonal cleanup without losing the energy, punch, or vibe of your mix.

From harsh cymbals to brittle guitars to sharp vocals, these presets give you real-world solutions—not just generic notching or random resonance taming. Every curve was handcrafted to solve the actual pain points you face mixing heavy, aggressive, and dynamic productions.

Whether you're polishing stacked vocals, smoothing drum bus transients, or balancing the top end of your master, this pack makes professional clarity faster and easier.
