The SSL Channel Strip and SSL Bus Compressor — The Perfect Pair!

The Solid State Logic SSL Native Essential Bundle pairs two of SSL’s most powerful plug-ins for a console-like mixing experience within your DAW. Containing the SSL Channel Strip 2 and legendary Bus Compressor 2, it has what you need to build a sturdy foundation for any mix. Channel Strip 2 emulates the venerable SSL 4000 large-format console, with the classic 4-band parametric EQ, filter, compressor, and expander/gate configuration, which has been a mainstay of pro audio for over 40 years. And you can switch between the legendary E Series and G Series profiles for added flexibility. The SSL Bus Compressor 2 is a spot-on digital re-creation of the legendary bus compressor featured on countless hit records. Celebrated for its ability to glue together a mix for a radio-ready sound, few bus compressors are as universally revered. Sweetwater is excited to offer this incredible bundle that’s perfect for those starting their journey into the recording arts or seasoned pros who want the sound of an SSL board with the convenience of a plug-in.
