It's like having an SSL table in your DAW!

Containing SSL's classic 4-band parametric EQ, filter, compressor, and expander/gate configuration familiar to all professional audio engineers, SSL's Channel Strip plug-in is a complete tool for shaping tone and processing sound. dynamics.

Switch between the E and G Series equalizer features to enjoy the distinct tones of the two legendary units. Explore the dynamics section to subtly or dramatically adjust your tracks. And activate the sidechain for detailed tone sculpting or creative applications.

SSL's Channel Strip is an essential plug-in for audio engineers and can handle any mixing job, big or small, with SSL's unrivaled sound!

Two legendary EQ sections in one

The SSL Channel Strip allows you to 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 enhancing the pop of a snare or adding intelligibility to a lead vocal. The G-series EQ has a more restrained, focused character, great for sculpting EQ frequencies so instruments fit more cohesively in a mix. With both the E-Series and G-Series, you can apply generous amounts of EQ without adding distortion to the signal, especially at the lower frequencies. This means you can add huge depth to a drum or bass while keeping things tight, clean and focused.

Comprehensive dynamics processing

Easy to use yet extremely powerful, the SSL Channel Strip's compressor is a versatile dynamics processor. With its familiar Ratio, Threshold and Release controls, finding the ideal compression setting is a breeze. And whether you're tamping down subtlety on an acoustic guitar or compressing drum mics, the SSL Channel Strip's compressor has a pleasant, musical tone.

Exhibiting a smooth, natural response, the SSL Channel Strip's gate/expander section reduces or eliminates unwanted mic leakage and background noise without sounding fragmented and artificial. Additionally, the SSL Channel Strip offers side-chain processing for dynamic frequency-dependent applications. Use it as a super-precise de-esser, reduce problematic vocal resonances that arise when a vocalist sings hard, or trigger the compressor with the kick drum to generate EDM-style pumps on a synth. The creative possibilities are immense!
