Included Plug-ins:
SSL Console EQ and Filters V1.5
Two different Plug-In
versions are included; mono
to mono and stereo to
stereo.
Once inserted into the Mixer Software, the SSL Console
EQ and Filters plug-in will appear as a small graph preview
window inside the mixer column.
Each different EQ plug-in on the SSL Mixer will exhibit a
different colour set in this window, matching the graph in its main plug-in
window.
This makes it is easy to differentiate between the different models used in the
channel.
The small EQ filter graph gives a preview of the
equalisation curve. Once the curve turns red, the plug-in is
indicating that clipping is occurring in either the input stage
or somewhere inside the serial filter chain.
Lowering the input gain or individual band gains may then
be necessary to prevent the algorithm from producing audible distortion.
TIP: As with all other Soundscape level displays, the SSL Console EQ and Filters
plug-in indicates 1 sample at 0dbFS as clipping. Under certain circumstances audible
distortion may only be introduced when a multiple of consecutive samples at 0dBFS
are present.
SSL Console Dynamics V1.0
Four different Plug-In
Versions are included:
mono to mono, mono to
mono with side chain input,
stereo to stereo and stereo to
stereo with side chain input.
The Mono Version with side chain (SC) is in fact a 2Ch In, 1CH Out Plug-In,
the Stereo Version with side chain (SC) is a 4CH IN, 2 CH Out Plug-In.
The SC Input is derived from the last Input(s), meaning that the Mono Version
uses In1 for the Audio Input and In2 for the SC Key Input.
In the Stereo SC Version CH3+4 are used to derive the SC Key from.
TIP: In order to use a SC Version, you need a Stereo to Mono Channel Column for
the Mono SC Version and a 4CH to Stereo Column for the Stereo SC Version.
Once inserted, the SSL Console Dynamics plug-in will
appear as a small preview window with 2 LED Areas
displaying the Gain Reduction or Gate/Exp Reduction
inside the mixer column.
Once the LED background turns red, the plug-in is
indicating that clipping is occurring in either the input stage
or somewhere inside the processing chain or at the
Output. Lowering the input gain or output gain may then be
necessary to prevent the algorithm or Output stage from producing audible
distortion.
Like on real SSL Consoles the Channel Dynamics use Auto-Makeup to
compensate for the reduced Gain in the Compressor stage.
