OVER 50 PRESETS FOR MIXING & MASTERING
57 Precision-Designed Soothe 3 Presets for Vocals, Guitars, Drums, Bass, and Mastering
The Apex Audio Soothe 3 Preset Pack is your upgraded toolkit for fast, musical resonance control without losing the energy, punch, or aggression of your mix.
Rebuilt specifically for Soothe 3, this pack takes advantage of the plugin’s updated Soft and Hard modes, Max Cut control, and refined dynamic resonance handling.
From harsh cymbals to fizzy guitars, clanky bass, sharp vocals, resonant drums, and brittle masters, these presets give you real-world solutions, not generic notching or random frequency suppression. Every curve was crafted to solve the actual pain points you face when mixing dense, aggressive, and modern productions.
Whether you’re polishing stacked vocals, controlling amp sim fizz, smoothing drum bus transients, or balancing the top end of your master, this pack makes professional clarity faster and easier.
What's Inside
57 Mix-Tested Presets: Drums, Overheads, Snare, Bass, Guitars, Vocals, Mix Bus, Mastering - optimized for dense modern rock and metal sessions.
Built for Soothe 3: Rebuilt around Soothe3’s Soft/Hard modes, Detail control, Max Cut limiting, updated resonance handling, and improved workflow options.
