Solid State Logic SSL Essentials Bundle

The SSL Native Essentials Bundle by Solid State Logic, available on PluginBoutique.com, provides an immersive, console-like mixing experience within your DAW. This bundle combines two of SSL’s most dynamic plug-ins – the SSL Native Channel Strip 2 and the legendary SSL Native Bus Compressor 2. These plug-ins offer users the ability to build a reliable foundation for any mix.

Channel Strip 2 emulates the distinguished SSL 9000K large-format console, an advancement of the 4000E. It features a classic 4-band parametric EQ, filter, compressor, and expander/gate configuration, which has been a mainstay of professional audio for over four decades. Users can switch between the legendary E-series and G-series EQ profiles for added versatility.

The SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 is a precise digital re-creation of the legendary bus compressor featured on numerous hit records. Known for its ability to consolidate a mix for a radio-ready sound, few bus compressors are as universally admired. Whether you’re starting your journey into recording arts or a seasoned professional who desires the sound of an SSL board with the convenience of a plug-in, this bundle is an excellent fit.
