Please note: EQ > DYNAMICS > FILTER is not possible. In SSL's analogue
consoles, the filter will always occur directly before the EQ unless 'Filter to Input' is
activated.
Filters to Sidechain
Use the 'FILTERS' radio button to move the filters from the input signal path to the
sidechain path.
EQ to Sidechain
Use 'EQ' radio button to move the EQ to the dynamics sidechain.
Routing Order
Press the up/down arrows in DYN, EQ & FILTERS to reorder the modules.
External Side Chain
Use the 'EXT' checkbox to feed the compressor sidechain from an external source,
routed from your DAW. Check your DAWs documentation on how to route a signal to a
plug-ins sidechain input.
S/C Listen Indicator
The S/C Listen Indicator will light up when S/C Listen is enabled.
How the Solo System Works
1) Live (VST3), Studio One (VST3) and REAPER (VST3)
When using the VST3 format in Live, Studio One or REAPER, the SOLO & CUT are
automatically linked to the DAW's solo and cut controls.
2) DAWs without VST3 extension support
In other all other DAWs except those listed above, the mixer-wide solo'ing
functionality will require the SSL 360° application to be running on your desktop.
The solo feature works by cutting the output of all other 360-enabled channel strip
plug-ins in the DAW session. This happens when you action a Solo (either from the
UC1, the 360-enabled plug-in, or from the 360° Plug-in Mixer). Therefore, it is
recommended that you:
1. Insert a 360-enabled channel strip plug-in on all tracks in your DAW session.
2. Make sure to engage the SOLO SAFE button on channel strip plug-ins that
have been inserted onto auxes/busses/sub-groups/sub-mixes. This will ensure
that you hear individual instruments that are routed to these destinations when
you start soloing.
SOLO SAFE prevents a channel strip from being cut when another channel strip's
SOLO is activated.
