CRYSTAL CLEAR AUDIO QUALITY IN ANY LIVE ENVIRONMENT

SSL Sourcerer is a highly optimized expander that reduces microphone leakage in live and studio recordings without the need for a gate, giving users a more natural-sounding mix. Its set of intuitive controls are designed to maximize workflow and include adjustable threshold, time, and depth settings, as well as lopass and hi-pass filters to adjust settings quickly and efficiently.

Initially developed for the SSL Live console line, Sourcerer builds on SSL's rich history of digital processing, helping live and studio engineers overcome some of the 'mic leak' and 'feedback' challenges they face. It can be used in a variety of scenarios, such as when you need to eliminate microphone leakage in live recordings or suppress crosstalk in a podcast or panel discussion.

Release time settings

SSL Sourcerer comes with 3 easy-to-use release time settings – Slow, Medium and Fast – allowing users to match the gate decay with the natural release of the audio source, thus avoiding unnatural clipping.

Visual feedback

Make precise adjustments based on real-time visual cues with the dual visual feedback graphs featured in SSL Sourcerer . The upper graph represents the side chain and filtered signals, while the lower graph displays threshold levels and gain reductions.

Advanced reduction features

The Ducking feature provides greater control in complex live situations where there are periods of relative silence, such as panel discussions, or where constant background noise can be intrusive, such as live performances in front of crowds. The ducking feature also includes an adjustable ducking delay to synchronize the ducking effect with the tempo of the source material.

Sidechain Course Selection

Choose between internal and external side chain sources. The internal sidechain allows you to directly monitor the sidechain input and set the correct detection and processing based on the signal that triggers the dynamics control. External sidechain, on the other hand, offers the ability to use an external audio source for the sidechain, allowing for more flexible control over dynamics by using other tracks in the mix to trigger the noise reduction process.

Threshold, Depth and Time controls

Seamlessly tune your sound in dynamic live environments and controlled studio settings with SSL Sourcerer 's intuitive controls . The threshold, depth and time controls are particularly effective when you need to get results in urgent environments.

Dual Detection Modes

Switch between RMS and Peak detection modes to best match the material being processed. RMS mode offers a smoother midrange response suitable for continuous sounds, while Peak mode is better for handling fast transients.
