Description

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.

'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.

Bus Compressor 2 Plug-in boasts a host of enhancements, including new Attack, Release and Compression ratios for added flexibility with individual sounds and subgroups, in addition to inbuilt wet/dry and S/C HPF control, as well as switchable 2x and 4x Oversampling...

    Smoother than the UAD version

    From what I can gather, this SSL version and the UAD version are both modelled on the same centre-console G Bus compressor. The SSL has oversampling, which removes potential aliasing, and creates a smoother effect. Plus wet/dry and more attack/release options. It’s excellent

    SSL Bus Compressor 2 – Punchy, Flexible and Easy to Use

    SSL Bus Compressor 2 is a very convincing emulation of the classic SSL bus compressor sound. It adds punch, cohesion, and energy without making the mix feel overly compressed. The interface is clear, fast to use, and the additional features make it more flexible than the original hardware. It works especially well on drum, vocal, guitar, and instrument buses, not only on the master bus. For the current promotional price, it is an excellent purchase even if you already own another SSL-style bus compressor.

    The essential mix glue

    Nothing glues a mix together quite like this. It gives my master bus and drum groups that classic SSL punch and cohesion instantly, without washing out the low end. It’s simple, insanely fast to dial in, and a permanent fixture in all my sessions.
