Powerful Compressor with a Massive Feature Set
Unlike many popular compressor plug-ins on the market, the SSL X-Comp doesn’t emulate a specific piece of hardware. Instead, it takes full advantage of digital processing to produce numerous classic and modern compressor types. With world-class audio fidelity and extensive functionality, the X-Comp can pull delicate dynamic control for mastering applications or smashed, brickwall-style limiting to inject energy and aggression into any mix. Try it on overheads for mammoth drums or on your lead singer for in-your-face modern vocal presence. X-Comp’s robust feature set includes a dual symmetrical knee design for detailed compression shaping; advanced sidechain architecture for ducking, pumping, and de-essing; an intuitive interface with click-and-drag controls; and MIDI compatibility for real-time parameter manipulation. Engineers at Sweetwater hold SSL in high regard, particularly the dynamics processors. And the X-Comp is a welcome addition to SSL's stable of industry-leading compressors.
