Ratio is switchable between 2, 4 or 10:1, and sits next to a large In/Out ‘bypass’ button.Īs you’d expect, operating the SSL 4000 G is intuitive from the get go, and there are a host of presets from nine producers and engineers to use as starting points.

The Attack control is stepped (choose from 0.1, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, and 30 milliseconds), as is Release (0.1, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 seconds, plus a program-dependent Auto release setting). The original hardware version didn’t have this, but radio mixes in the 80s were always very bright and bass-light! More extreme settings are doable on drum buses, to up the power and energy - try lowering the threshold and keeping the release fast to get things pumping. If your mix is bass-heavy and you can hear high-frequency ducking when kick and bass hit, you may need to raise the SC Filter to reduce the impact of the low frequencies on gain reduction. Toggling the In/Out button is useful for smooth A/B comparison. Tweaking the threshold to show between 2 and 4dB of gain reduction, and raising the Gain Make-up to restore program volume refines the outcome. Lowering the threshold kicks the compression in, while the classic bus setting of slow attack, fast release, and a ratio of 2:1 or 4:1, gives a good transparent starting point.
This is a compressor primarily designed for transparent smoothing.
