SSL Stereo Bus Compressor for Soundscape/MX4
The centre section compressor from SSL’s 1980’s G Series analogue console is an audio production legend. It is the secret behind countless classic recordings. It is a simple unit with a simple purpose; it makes complete mixes sound bigger, with more power, punch and drive. It brings cohesion and strength to your mix without compromising clarity.
"Sticks your mix like audio glue." - That's how we often hear the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor described, along with - "You strap it across your mix - and it sounds like a record." We could wax lyrical about the technology - but hey, you already know how great this thing sounds - you've heard it on countless hit records from the last three decades.
When selecting the Stereo Bus Compressor plug-in within the Soundscape/MX4 Mixer architecture users have the option to select ‘Stereo’ or ‘Stereo Side-Chain’ versions. On ‘Side Chain’ versions an ‘SC In’ toggle button allows users to switch the gain detection between the main audio input and the side-chain input.
The fully Double-Precision Architecture provides the true SSL Console sound without compromises at Sample Rates between 44.1kHz and 96 kHz.
The Plug-In does not add any additional latency inside SSL Mixpander and MX4 DSP Mixing Engines.
