The SSL Bus Compressor 2 is a digital adaptation of the iconic centre section compressor from SSL's 1980s G Series analogue console, known for shaping the sound of numerous classic recordings. This compressor is designed to enhance entire mixes by adding power, punch, and drive. It helps achieve a cohesive and robust sound without sacrificing clarity, making mixes feel larger and more impactful.

This updated version offers expanded control options, including new attack, release, and compression ratio settings that provide greater flexibility for processing individual tracks and subgroups. The addition of wet/dry mix controls and a side-chain high-pass filter allows more precise shaping of the compression effect, enabling users to preserve low-end detail while tightening the overall mix.

Additional enhancements include switchable 2x and 4x oversampling for improved audio quality during processing and an external side-chain input for dynamic control over the compressor's response. The renowned automatic release mode remains a key feature, ensuring smooth and musical compression. This plugin is also compatible with the UC1 hardware controller, offering tactile control for an intuitive mixing experience.
