Legendary SSL Workflow for Your DAW
Empower your in-the-box productions with the legendary SSL console workflow courtesy of the Solid State Logic UC1 Advanced Plug-in Controller. With its knob-per-function architecture, the UC1 gives you tactile control over SSL’s renowned Channel Strip and Bus Compressor native plug-ins (included with the purchase of the UC1), and it provides visual feedback via an army of illuminated LED rings. Instantiate Channel Strip on every track in your session — along with a Bus Compressor on your mix bus — and enjoy the experience of working on an SSL 4000 series desk in the comfort of your home or project studio. Boasting a rugged professional design with an all-metal enclosure and a brushed, anodized top plate, the UC1 is both attractive and durable. Plus, it’s simple to integrate into your recording system — it requires only a single USB connection. Interacting with the UC1 is highly intuitive as well. A high-resolution LCD display and selection encoders allow you to effortlessly navigate between instances of the plug-ins in your DAW, and you can instantly recall presets directly from the front panel. Representing the next evolution in DAW control surfaces, the SSL UC1 Advanced Plug-in Controller will surely invigorate your in-the-box workflow.
SSL Channel Strip: iconic SSL E-Series and G-Series EQ and dynamics
The SSL Channel Strip lets you select between two of SSL’s most iconic console EQ sections: the E-Series and G-Series. The E-Series EQ has an aggressive bite perfect for bringing out the crack of a snare or adding intelligibility to a lead vocal; the G-Series has a more restrained and focused character, great for carving out EQ pockets to make instruments sit more cohesively in a mix. With both the E-Series and the G-Series, you can apply liberal amounts of EQ without adding distortion to the signal, especially in the low frequencies. This means you can add a massive thump to a kick or bass while keeping things tight, clean, and focused.
Simple to use but extremely powerful, the SSL Channel Strip compressor is a Swiss Army knife dynamics processor. With its familiar Ratio, Threshold, and Release controls, dialing in the ideal compression setting is a snap. And whether you’re subtly reining in an acoustic guitar or squashing a set of overheads, the SSL Channel Strip compressor yields a flattering and musical tone.
Glue your mixes together with the SSL Bus Compressor
Few pieces of gear are as universally revered as the SSL G-Series center section bus compressor, which has been faithfully re-created in the SSL Bus Compressor native plug-in. Celebrated for its ability to glue a mix together to make it "sound like a record," the SSL Bus Compressor has a distinct musical response that retains the dynamic integrity of a mix even at higher compression ratios. A perennial favorite of engineers at Pro Audio LA, the SSL Bus Compressor’s simple interface belies an incredible amount of flexibility, and the plug-in version boasts unique features not found on the original hardware, including dry/wet signal blending for parallel processing and a sidechain highpass filter to reduce low-end pumping. Additionally, with the UC1’s mechanical moving coil gain reduction meter, you can watch the Bus Compressor react in real time! Put the final shine on your mixes with SSL's celebrated Bus Compressor.
SSL 360° software: the brains of the operation
Operationally, the UC1 works seamlessly with major DAWs — Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Cubase, Nuendo, Studio One, and Ableton Live — three of which can be connected concurrently. SSL’s dedicated 360° software for macOS and Windows handles configuration with your DAW(s) for both the UC1 and the SSL UF8 advanced DAW controller, allowing for multi-surface configurations, the customization of certain user keys, and a global view of all of the SSL native plug-ins on a single screen. What’s more, you’ll never lose any brilliant moves, because SSL 360° automatically saves any changes you make in the background (and of course, you can always undo). It also manages software and firmware updates automatically.
Solid Stage Logic: an unmatched industry icon
Over the last half century, SSL has established itself as an indisputable pro audio heavyweight. Renowned for their unparalleled sonic quality, SSL consoles are an artist favorite that have been used for countless recordings and found in more than 3,000 world-class recording facilities.
