SSL Native Bus Compressor 2
The sound of the legendary SSL Stereo Buss Compressor
The centre section compressor from SSL’s 1980’s G Series analogue console is an audio production legend. It is the secret behind countless classic recordings. It is a simple unit with a simple purpose; it makes complete mixes sound bigger, with more power, punch and drive. It brings cohesion and strength to your mix without compromising clarity.
"Sticks your mix like audio glue." - That's how we often hear the SSL Stereo Bus Compressor described, along with - "You strap it across your mix - and it sounds like a record." We could wax lyrical about the technology - but hey, you already know how great this thing sounds - you've heard it on countless hit records from the last three decades.
Bus Compressor 2 Plug-in boasts a host of enhancements, including new Attack, Release and Compression ratios for added flexibility with individual sounds and subgroups, in addition to inbuilt wet/dry and S/C HPF control, as well as switchable 2x and 4x Oversampling...

Features
Define your mix, refine your tracks
Empower your mix journey
Keeping the mix context in mind – effortlessly
Unlike usual equalizers that leave the context of a mix out of any processing, smart:EQ 4 lets you take control over multi-track unmasking processes easily and get spectral mixing done by simple dragging and dropping up to 10 tracks. This set priorities for each smart:filter, bringing some elements to the forefront of the sonic stage, leaving some in the middle, and pushing some into the background. Switching back and forth between instances is a thing of the past in this innovative tool – any instance within the same group can be remotely controlled from any other instance.
smart:filter technology by sonible
AI-powered equalization for instant spectral balance
The centerpiece of smart:EQ 4 is the smart:filter – it automatically balances the signal based on a target Profile you choose for your tracks. The smart:filter within each EQ instance comes with a range of features to adjust the AI-powered processing to your liking. Open up the smart:filter widget to tweak the Smoothing parameter for gentler filtering and turn up the Adaptive option to smooth out highly dynamic signals. You can split the green weighting curve of the smart:filter and set a certain frequency range to define where the intelligent algorithms should get to work.
smart:EQ 4’s smart:filter can be used in three modes: 'Track' balances the channel; 'Group' doesn’t affect the channel but reduces masking between it and other group members; 'Track and Group' applies balancing to the channel and makes it subject to unmasking.
Calibrate the intelligent processing
Profiles for instruments, vocals and entire mixes
With each generation of smart:EQ, the range of available Profiles grew. smart:EQ 4 sports instrument and vocal Profiles that you can use on single tracks or busses. To give your mix a final spectral polish, use one of the genre-based profiles. If you are chasing a certain sound, load up a reference track to create a custom profile and have smart:EQ 4 emulate its spectral character and balance on your channel or buss. By popular demand, now you can even specify the maximum learning time that smart:EQ 4 should use to analyze the input signal.
Dynamic standard filters, Mid/Side processing, Auto gain,...
All the features you need for expert tweaking
smart:EQ 4 is a highly versatile EQ that has got you covered with every feature you would expect from a pro-grade equalizer. In addition to the smart:filter, smart:EQ 4’s standard EQ bands sport dynamic behavior, offering a Dynamic Filter Widget with familiar compressor-like controls. These Standard EQ bands can be used alongside or instead of the main smart:filter bands for any instance of smart:EQ 4. There is also an Auto Gain Feature to compensate for level changes, comprehensive Mid-Side processing and an analyzer feature that not only shows you the track at hand but all instances that are in the same group.
