Key Features
The SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 puts the legendary sound of the famous SSL console compressor module in your DAW. Taken from the legendary SSL G-Series console from the '80s, the Bus Compressor 2 delivers the exact analog character and response from the hardware with multiple additions to suit the digital domain. A simple unit, the Native Bus Compressor 2 makes your tracks sound bigger, more powerful and punchier whilst creating cohesion and balance between multiple instruments, colloquially known as 'glueing' your tracks together.
Designed with several enhancements for the modern producer, Native Bus Compressor 2 includes new Attack, Release and Ratio controls for added flexibility in fine-tuning the response of your compressor. Additionally, Bus Compressor 2 includes a built-in wet/dry knob for parallel processing and a side-chain input with a high-pass filter as well as switchable oversampling up to 4X.

Revered by virtually anyone who has ever used it, the SSL G-Series bus compressor section has a trick up its sleeve unlike anything else. Taking instruments in a bus and adding some "glue" the Bus Compressor 2 captures the exact response and sound of the original console compressor, adding punch and life to your busses. Known for making things "sound like a record", its musical response caters to any kind of genre, tempo or any instruments you might have in your mix bus. Perfectly capable of getting dirty when it needs to, the Bus Compressor still maintains the dynamic integrity of your tracks, even at high ratios.
We all want the classic analog sound, but for modern producers working in the digital domain, flexibility is key. That's why the SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 has been built from the hardware original to offer more functionality for your mixes. New parameters have been added for Attack, Release and Ratio, allowing you to fine-tune the response to the tempo of your track, the instrument or group and genre of your music. The best thing? The signature sound of the Bus Compressor 2 won't fall victim to pumping or destroying the dynamic character of your sound!
Bringing the patch-bay to the plug-in realm, the Bus Compressor 2 now features a side-chain input, with a side-chain input high-pass filter. Perfect for adding the punch and glue to the low end of your track in a clean way which doesn't become overpowering or too boomy, causing muddy mixes.
