I set everything up in the mixer plugins that I like and save the presets as FXP. Many recording engineers said they turn it on and everything sounds better. The SSL was built into theĬonsoles in the studios back then. Right behind it I use the "SSL - Stereo Bus Compressor", so I always use 2 compressors. Too much excellent stuff, I can't even name 'em allĬlick to expand.I use the "Brainworx - Vertigo VSC-2" because it doesn't color and compresses very subtly. Try PSP, Pulsar audio, Arturia fx, Sly-fi, arousor, Kush, Voxengo, fircomp, DMG (trackcomp2, compassion, multiplicity etc), plugin alliance stuuuffff, slate digital, UAD, Waves, IK T-racks, SSL, cytomic, klanghelm, u-he, overloud gem, DDMF MDE, Pro-C2, tone projects, NI, Softube, Meldaproduction, URS, TDR, fuse audio labs, black rooster, sknote, kazrog, VoS, toneboosters, cakewalk oldies, sonoris, airwindows, aom, analog obsession and maaany more. Imagine in your head what you want to achieve, what you want to sound it like etc. Then work on different material, rock, pop, edm, classical, acoustic music, ambient, hiphop, trap, dubstep, futuristic, retro, jazz, live instruments, synths. Tweak knobs, minimum settings, maximum settings. Learn aliasing, timing, frequency response, phase, harmonics, thd, imd, noise, behaviour with various sample rates, and so on. First, watch any processor does with simple signals, sines. for me it is a transient/punch/attack fist of VCAs, not clean/transparent.Ĭlick to expand.Always depends on material you work on/with. Waves dbx160 too snappy, maybe for percussive tracks, not bus/master, don't know, it was never a comp for VCA-style glueing for me, just as a VCA-style transient re-energizer, oomph pumper, and dirtier. SSL and other VCA are best for percussion glueing, attacky transient-heavy material. Still soft and way less aggressive than VCA API compressor (API gives more oomph, weight, nice pump and drive), and not too heavy as also fast'n'punchy aggressive FET. VCA (SSL style) is for punchier glueing, is faster than vari-mu style, but slower attack give some transients bit untouched. You asked about SSL only, and I wrote about almost all famous VCA incl. Too difficult for me always were Fairchild emu comps, used as subtle saturator and once or twice for very subtle compression. My master/bus comps for glueing are: TDR Kotelnikov (free version is 99.9% enough for me), fircomp v1 free or rarely v2, cytomic the glue, Pulsar Mu, DDMF MagicDeathEye (both versions), Waves API2500 (very rare), Sonoris Mastering compressor (extremely rare as extra option if transparent compressor like Kotelnikov doesn't work, so, even both do not), Vertigo vsc-2 (used 5-6 times maybe, difficult to use it as a glue comp for me, very sensetive, very pumpy, jumpy extremely rare fit/suits). On master or mixbus sometimes I like to combine both styles compressors, with about 0.5-1.0 dB reduction both (rarely more up to 1.5 or almost never), usually VCA never goes over 1dB reduction on my master (usually less), bit of touch. More responsive on RMS, sustainier material, not too perfect for percussive and transient. Vari-Mu style is softer, slower, smoother with a bit saturation. for me it is a transient/punch/attack fist of VCAs, not clean/transparent. Waves dbx160 too snappy, maybe for percussive tracks, not bus/master, don't know, it was never a comp for VCA-style glueing for me on master, just as a VCA-style transient re-energizer, oomph pumper, and dirtier.
