6 – SSL G-Series Bus Compressor
Ssl G Bus Compressor Clone
Bibleworks 10 free. The G-Series Bus Compressor is a VCA-based stereo unit from the UK's Oxfordshire-based Solid State Logic, derived from the circuits found in their legendary 4000 G-series console. The SSL excels at one thing only: stylish-as-hell bus compression, either on sub-mixes or the master bus itself.
- Plug-In: SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Plug-In Developer: Universal Audio Formats: AAX, AU and VST for UAD2 system on Mac (10.7+) or Windows (7+) Price: $299 MSRP (upgrades from legacy version are available) Introduction If you hang around on Gearslutz for more than a few hours you'll probably bump into a discussion thread about how superior analog gear arguably is when compared to digital gear.
- Product Description for the Solid State Logic Stereo Buss Compressor. Often imitated but never equalled, the centre section compressor from the 1980's G-Series analogue console is an audio production legend. It is a simple unit with a simple purpose; it makes complete.
- The Unmistakeable Sound of SSL's G-Series!The SSL Stereo Bus Compressor Module answers the clamor from customers for the audio legend that is the center section compressor from SSL G-Series Consoles to be made available for the X-Rack system. The module, which is the first double-width module occupying two X-Rack slots, is a simple unit with a simple purpose: it makes complete mixes sound.
For ‘glue' purposes, it reigns pretty much supreme: a holy grail compressor that does both transparency and glue with panache: making a mix louder and punchier while imparting an expensive, modern-sounding cohesiveness that has probably shaped the sound of more hit records than any other over the past three decades. For many producers – in just about every genre – the SSL is such a no-brainer that it sits on the mix bus for every single mix. It has a unique ability to make a good mix sound like a finished track.

As far as settings go, there aren't many to tweak. Just change the attack and release settings so that the compressor is responding to the tempo and feel of the track (if in doubt, keep attack fast and park it in auto release mode). For ratio, choose 2:1 for master transparency, 4:1 for slightly more obvious colour and 10:1 for a tougher, more characterful bus sound.
The BUSS COMPRESSOR therefore has a much more pleasant, natural and open sound (especially when pushed), just like the legendary British Console compressor we've aimed to recreate; this is where some other units tend to fall short, shrink the stereo image and underperform as compared to the original.

The G-Series Bus Compressor has a host of plugin emulations, some of them officially sanctioned, including one by Universal Audio, one by Waves and SSL's own version. However, our favourite SSL-inspired plugin is Cytomic's The Glue – look out for a new version of it in Ableton Live 9. Disney princess fashion.
