Product Overview & Features

Gain Reduction Meter

The meter shows how much gain reduction is being applied by the Bus
Compressor 2 plug-in in the style of the classic moving-coil meter found on
SSL consoles.

Oversampling

Bus Compressor 2 features the ability to use oversampling DSP. Options
are provided for none (OFF), 2x and 4x. When compressing material
heavily (e.g. smashing a drum bus), you may want to experiment utilising
oversampling, as it will help to reduce unfavourable distortion that may
be being introduced. The DAW will introduce a small amount of delay
compensation for Bus Compressor 2 when oversampling is used.

DAW Track Name and Plug-in Mixer Button

Beneath the oversampling options the DAW track name the plug-in is inserted
on is displayed.
The button labelled PLUG-IN MIXER opens the SSL 360° on the Plug-in Mixer
page (presuming SSL 360° is installed). Otherwise, it will take you to the SSL
website.

External S/C and Mix Lock

The EXTERNAL S/C button allows the Bus Compressor sidechain to be fed
from a source different to the internal sidechain. e.g. A bus send could be set
up in the DAW, such as a kick drum that could be used to creatively 'pump'
the Bus Compressor. Please note you will need to determine the external
sidechain source using your DAW's plug-in header bar.
MIX LOCK excludes the MIX control from the preset system, which can be useful for auditioning different presets, without the MIX
control responding to the preset being loaded.

Undo/Redo and A/B

Undo/Redo actions can be made to plug-in parameters using the UNDO and REDO buttons. A/B buttons allow you to load two
independent settings and compare them quickly.
Clicking in the Default Preset area will allow for access to the Preset Management List. The Preset Management list allows you to
load factory or user-saved presets, as well as some other options shown overleaf.
