Solid State Logic

What Solid State Logic is known for

Solid State Logic's SSL Native plugin line carries unique authority because it comes directly from the makers of the legendary SSL mixing consoles, recreating their own iconic hardware in software. The plugins—chiefly the SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and the revered G-Series Stereo Bus Compressor—are praised by reviewers and users for bold, punchy, console-like sound, the classic mix 'glue,' user-friendly interfaces, and low CPU usage, with several reviewers rating SSL's own emulations above third-party recreations. They build on SSL's iconic 4000-series consoles, a pro-audio mainstay on countless hit records for over 40 years.

• Authoritative, official in-the-box recreations of SSL's own legendary 4000 E/G (and 9000/4K B) console hardware—'direct from the makers' rather than a third-party emulation
• SSL Native Channel Strip 2: the classic SSL 4-band parametric EQ, filters, compressor and expander/gate with switchable E/G profiles, near-zero latency, and openness/clarity reviewers describe as ears 'unblocked'
• The G-Series Stereo Bus Compressor: a universally revered mix 'glue' compressor heard on countless hit records, often chosen as a desert-island bus compressor
• Reviewers repeatedly judge SSL's own plugins to sound bolder, punchier and more console-accurate than competing emulations (e.g. Waves, Brainworx)
• Low CPU use plus SSL 360° integration for a console-like mixer view and optional hands-on control via UC1/UF8 surfaces; backed by SSL's iconic console and modern hardware heritage (SiX, Fusion, The Bus+, SSL 2/2+ interfaces)
