SSL Bus Compressor 2
Few pieces of gear are as universally revered as the SSL G series center section bus compressor, and now it’s available as an SSL-designed native plug-in. Celebrated for its ability to glue a mix together to make it "sound like a record," the SSL Bus Compressor 2 has a distinctly musical response that retains the dynamic integrity of a mix even at higher compression ratios. A perennial favorite of engineers at Sweetwater, the SSL Bus Compressor 2’s simple interface belies an incredible amount of flexibility, and the plug-in version boasts unique features not found on the original hardware, including dry/wet signal blending for parallel processing and a sidechain highpass filter to reduce low-end pumping. Put the final shine on your mixes with SSL's legendary Bus Compressor 2.
Sonible smart:EQ 4
For creating polished mixes in mere minutes, Sonible’s AI-assisted plug-in offerings have become near necessities in project and professional studios. Of course, smart:EQ is among the most renowned, with a unique smart:filter that balances tracks by simply grouping them via drag and drop, selecting profiles, and deciding which tracks take priority in that group’s hierarchy. Sonible has upped the ante for smart:EQ 4, improving the plug-in’s versatility and adding new control features for even more utility. Any instance within the same group can be “remote controlled” from any other instance. The famous AI-powered profiles have also been expanded with new genre-based Mix profiles. You can import your own reference tracks, and smart:EQ will use these as the basis for your own track’s sound. Standard EQ bands can now behave like Dynamic EQs with familiar compressor and gate-style controls, and they have a new Smoothing control for more subtle filtering. Finally, you’ll get comprehensive mid-side functions and an Auto Gain function that compensates for level adjustments.
