Solid State Logic SSL Fusion Vintage Drive

The SSL Fusion Vintage Drive plug-in is a digital emulation of the Vintage Drive processor from Solid State Logic’s SSL Fusion stereo outboard hardware processor. The product is designed to produce a gentle harmonic saturation and soft compression that is reminiscent of driving vintage hardware into the analogue sweet spot. This makes the SSL Fusion Vintage Drive plug-in an essential tool for adding an organic analogue feel to your tracks, mixes, and masters.

The product offers some fantastic new options without complication. These include the MIX control, which lets you dial in the perfect amount of vintage drive; the AUTO GAIN functionality, which drives the signal without destructively affecting your mix levels; and the brand new ECO mode, which drops the plug-in into zero latency, reduced-CPU operation for use during tracking and recording.
