The SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection by Universal Audio delivers an authentic and powerful emulation of the legendary SSL G Bus Compressor, a key element in creating mixes that feel bigger, punchier, and more cohesive. Endorsed by Solid State Logic, this plug-in captures the essence of the original hardware, enhancing clarity and presence across mixes, buses, and individual sources. It offers an expert circuit emulation that extends beyond the standard, providing an immersive mixing experience with iconic tonal characteristics.

This plug-in combines the classic SSL sound with modern enhancements to improve workflow and creative control. Features such as Side Chain Filtering, Mix control for dry/wet processing, and Headroom adjustment allow producers to tailor compression precisely and efficiently, reducing unwanted pumping and enabling parallel compression techniques. The simple yet effective controls, including fixed Attack and Release with an auto-release function, let users dial in everything from subtle glue to aggressive dynamic shaping with ease and accuracy.

Meticulously redesigned from the ground up, this collection faithfully reproduces every detail of the original console and rackmount units, including unique control voltage summing behavior. The plug-in also includes the original Auto Fade feature, providing smooth fade transitions up to 60 seconds for professional polish. Alongside the main plug-in, a DSP-lite legacy version is included, giving users access to the classic SSL sound that has powered countless hit records, making it an essential tool for mixing engineers and producers looking to elevate their sound.
