Channel Strip

Classic SSL Console Channel Strip

Classic SSL console EQ and Dynamics Processing for your DAW.

The SSL Native Channel Strip delivers the legendary tone and features of an SSL console channel strip. The EQ is a classic 4-band design with parametric LMF & HMF sections and shelving LF & HF sections (LF & HF switch to Bell). SSL Native plug-ins require a physical iLok 2 or iLok 3 USB dongle for authorisation The whole EQ can be switched between E & G Series characteristics and can be applied to the dynamics side chain. The Dynamics section offers separate Compressor and Gate/Expanders. The Compressor can be switched between soft and hard knee. Both the Compressor and Gate/Expander sections feature fast/slow attack switches and independent side chains. The plug-in also features High and Low Pass Filters which can also be applied to the side chain.

Key Features

• Classic SSL console channel strip features and sound
• 4-band EQ, two shelving sections and two parametric
• Variable low-pass and high-pass filter
• Switchable EQ characteristics between E Series and G Series EQ
• “Over-Easy” soft ratio compression characteristic for smooth transitions
• Variable process order routing
• Dynamics side-chain processing with independent side chains for compressor and expander/gate

Bus Compressor

Classic Analogue, now Digital

The sound of the legendary SSL Stereo Bus Compressor.

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.

FlexVerb

Your new go-to reverb

Simple, powerful, intuitive and rich.

FlexVerb is a brand new fully-featured and extremely versatile SSL reverb plug-in designed to deliver a professional mix-ready sound in a quick and intuitive way. FlexVerb’s versatile split early-late reflection interface allows you to add the natural body and tone of different early room reflections, complimented by the richness of a variety of expansive reverb tail options. FlexVerb features a 6-band EQ, High and Low Pass Filters, 3-band reverb time multipliers and input sidechain compressor to help you craft reverb that sits perfectly in your mix. FlexVerb’s algorithmic architecture gives you the depth, character and detail of a professional reverb in a simple rewarding interface. Key Features:

• Four Reverb Types: Room, Hall, Plate, and Chamber.
• Early & Late Reflection types can be independently selected; for example, Small Room Early Reflections, with a Large Plate Reverb Tail.
• 6 Band SSL EQ, with 3 bands of reverb time multipliers.
• Output compressor (applied to reverb only) side-chained by the ‘dry’ input signal; useful to help sit the reverb in the mix.
• Lockable Dry/Wet Mix control; fix the mix of dry and wet signal when switching between presets.
• Infinity reverb time switch.
• Reverb tail kill switch.

X-EQ

The all-in-one EQ collection

Mastering grade 10-band parametric EQ

X-EQ is an open and transparent sounding parametric EQ that provides the user with a truly comprehensive range of EQ tools within an intuitive user interface. X-EQ is exceptionally flexible with the ability to be surgically precise for mastering duties or to smooth and sculpt for everyday audio production and is particularly suited to real time manipulation for dramatic filter sweep effects. X-EQ is at first glance a 10 band parametric EQ, but each of the 10 EQ bands can be selected to provide a different type of EQ, making X-EQ a vast range of different EQ processors in one package. Bands 1 and 10 are High and Low Filters, each of which can be set to employ one of five different Filter topologies with five very different tonal characters. Bands two and nine are shelving EQ’s with a Q range that extend right up to 10.3 and a degree of undershoot and overshoot at higher Q settings that give a unique tonal character. The remaining six bands are all Bell EQ’s with a choice of nine different EQ types providing a comprehensive range of response curves. All Shelving & Bell bands can operate across a full 20Hz-20kHz frequency range with a powerful gain range of +/-20dB. All of the Bell bands can also be switched from the usual serial signal flow of a parametric EQ to the parallel signal flow of a graphic equalizer. Key Features

• 10 band parametric EQ with individually selectable EQ type per band
• Bands one & 10 are High & Low Cut Filters, each with five different selectable topographies
• Bands two & nine are Shelving EQ’s with proportional Q values
• Bands three to eight are Bell Filters with 20Hz-20kHz range and nine individually selectable EQ types
• Bands three to eight can be switched between standard series and parallel signal flow for classic graphic EQ style operation
• Real time FFT signal analysis display
• Stereo input and output metering with peak hold and separate RMS meter
• A/B facility for instant comparison of two different EQ set ups
• Full parameter automation via any compatible host

X-Comp

The new face of dynamics processing

Mastering-grade compression.

X-Comp is a sophisticated and extremely versatile stereo compressor that cuts through the mass of freeware and bundled plug-ins available with genuinely professional features, results and interface. The audio performance, specifications, analysis tools and depth of control offered by X-Comp are exemplary. It delivers mastering grade audio fidelity with a distinctly analogue feel and can be used for everything from ‘invisible’ subtle dynamic control for mastering, to dramatic ‘brick wall’ effects that inject raw energy and power that competes with the legendary SSL Listen Mic Compressor. Between these two extremes X-Comp can reproduce the characteristics of a wide range of modern and classic vintage compressors. In X-Comp we haven’t just modeled a particular compressor, but have provided a set of features and controls that allow the emulation of a broad range of compressor designs. Key Features

• Exceptional versatility; from mastering grade transparent compressor to incredible brick wall gain reduction
• Advanced graphic knee control with 0 to 40dB range and proportional response characteristic
• Dual symmetrical knee design allows detailed shaping of the compression characteristic
• Max Gain Reduction control sets the maximum reduction between 20 and 60dB
• Advanced side chain architecture using 1st order filters delivers user-friendly Frequency Dependant Parallel Compression
• Amplitude Histogram display provides advanced real time pre/post signal analysis
• Intuitive user interface with drag and move graphic, mouse wheel and numeric editing
• Stereo input and output metering with peak hold and separate RMS meter
• A/B facility for instant comparison of two different Compression set ups
• MIDI control capability for all parameters
• Global soft latency free bypass

Drumstrip

Clarity, punch and power for your drums

The simple path to better drum tracks.

The secret to making an average drum recording sound incredible can be elusive. It takes the right combination of processors, with the perfect sonic character, in the correct configuration and tweaked in the right way. Drumstrip takes drum sounds from ordinary and average to vibrant and exhilarating in a few quick, easy steps. Plug in, switch on and experiment. Drumstrip handles the hard part; putting the right selection of fantastic sounding processing tools in your hands in an instant. With Drumstrip, DAW users can attain increased presence, clarity and detail in their drum tracks; reduce spill in individual tracks; restore natural brightness; achieve greater perceived loudness; shorten or lengthen the attack and sustain of percussive signals; tighten up booming toms; make kicks and snares stand out in a mix; and parallel compress room mics. Key Features

• Carefully selected collection of five audio processing tools
• Transient shaper with Transient Invert to bring the attack phase of your drums to life
• Transient Shaper Audition enables you to isolate and monitor the effect of the Transient Shaper
