Plugin Boutique are offering 90% off the SSL 80’s Bundle by Solid State Logic for a limited time, now only $49.00, (usually $517.00). There are deals on other Solid State Logic plugins too. The offers end November 30th.
Bring the sound of a studio legend to your DAW with SSL LMC+, the modern evolution of the classic Listen Mic Compressor from the SSL 4000E console—famous for shaping the punchy, gated drum sound of the ’80s. Now enhanced with powerful features like external sidechain, Scoop, Split, and variable filters, it’s perfect for smashing drums and adding attitude to any source.
Take control of space and saturation with SSL X-Delay, a creative four-tap stereo delay inspired by vintage digital units, and SSL Fusion Vintage Drive, a rich emulation of the Fusion hardware’s non-linear saturation circuit. Whether you’re sculpting rhythmic depth or adding cohesive analogue warmth, this bundle gives you iconic SSL character with modern flexibility.
SSL LMC+
The SSL LMC+ replicates the sound of an SSL 4000E console’s reverse talkback function, a.k.a. the Listen Mic, which included an integrated compressor to safeguard against overloads and make quiet speech intelligible. It was the Listen Mic Compressor, combined with the SSL 4000E’s built-in noise gate, that was the genesis to the gated-reverb drum sound that dominated the ’80s.
The LMC+ plug-in eclipses the original hardware, providing you with advanced functionality that wasn’t present in the original console, such as external sidechain capabilities, highpass filters and lowpass filters, and Scoop and Split functions. And thanks to its intuitive controls, the LMC+ is a breeze to use. If you want to smash everything back to the 1980s, the LMC+ is the plug-in to do it with.
The LMC+ plug-in takes the vaunted SSL Listen Mic Compressor from the center section of an SSL 4000E console and enhances it with modern features derived from SSL’s LMC+ 500 Series module. An external sidechain enables you to trigger gain reduction with an external source or signal, while variable highpass and lowpass filters allow you to tailor which frequencies trigger the compression. You also get Scoop and Split functions. Scoop phase-inverts your wet signal, while Split engages a bandpass-subtraction mode.
There is also a Mix control, which makes parallel processing a piece of cake. If you enjoy slamming audio into oblivion, you’ll find a zillion uses for the LMC+.
SSL X-Delay
X-Delay is the latest premium creative plug-in from Solid State logic. Inspired by legendary hardware processors from the 80’s era of big delays, huge vocals and blazing guitar tracks, X-Delay is perfect for cavernous FX, up-front doubling and vast stereo soundscapes. And all with that SSL sound that can slap you back to the ‘80s or take you straight to 2080.
Artistic creativity and production inspiration; X-Delay features the right selection of processing tools to quickly and intuitively create professional-quality delays for any vocal, instrument or sound. Add that ‘80s vibe by combining SSL’s renowned SATURATION and MODULATION for just the right amount of grit or shimmer. Unique MILTIPLIER control allows the alteration of all delay times simultaneously (an automation dream!). Crank ‘DIFFUSE’ and go from small plate to rich, thick reverb and beyond, and fine-tune delay taps using SSL HP/LP filters, DE-ESS and MIX control to keep your delays mean and mixes clean.
SSL Fusion Vintage Drive
The SSL Fusion Vintage Drive plug-in is a digital emulation of the Vintage Drive processor from SSL’s critically acclaimed SSL Fusion stereo outboard hardware processor. Designed to produce the gentle harmonic saturation and soft compression reminiscent of driving vintage hardware into the analogue sweet spot, the SSL Fusion Vintage Drive plug-in is a must-have for adding organic analogue feel to your tracks, groups, mixes and masters.
SSL Fusion Vintage Drive offers some fantastic new options without complication; use the MIX control to dial in the perfect amount of vintage drive, use the AUTO GAIN functionality to drive the signal without destructively affecting your mix levels, and use the brand new ECO mode to drop the plug-in into zero latency, reduced-CPU operation for use during tracking and recording.
The SSL 80’s Bundle is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3, AU and AAX) and requires an iLok account.
