Key Features
The SSL G3 Multi Bus Compressor is a multi-band bus compressor, putting the famous sound of SSL console compression into your DAW. An expanded version of the broadband compressor, the G3 Multi Bus Compressor lets you independently compress three frequency ranges in instruments that cover a broad spectrum such as drums, or entire mixes and masters. Delivering the sonic tone as the hardware, you make tracks sound bigger, more punchy and more controlled whilst creating balance between the frequency regions to create a cohesive, "glued" sound.
Adorned with everything a modern producer needs working in the digital realm, the Multi Bus Compressor features independent parameters for each band to fine-tune your signal or global Parameter Link to apply changes across all bands simultaneously. A side-chain filter provides external control over frequency-dependent compression and the onboard "4K" circuit adds harmonics, warmth and distortion to your tone. Tame dynamics, add punch and balance your frequencies all in one plug-in with the SSL G3 Multi Bus Compressor.

Revered by virtually anyone who has ever used it, the SSL G-Series bus compressor section has a trick up its sleeve unlike anything else. Taking instruments in a bus and adding some "glue" to the sound of the original console compressor, adding punch and life to your busses. The G3 Multi Bus Compressor takes this to the next level and provides you with three frequency-specific bands for individual compression settings. Perfect for taming instruments that cover a wide spectrum such as drums, or working with entire group mixes that span the full frequency range, you can now tame the dynamics, and add punch and character to three bands independently. Known for making things "sound like a record", its musical response caters to any kind of genre, tempo or any instruments you might have in your mix bus. Perfectly capable of getting dirty when it needs to with the included '4K' drive circuit which emulates the sound of classic SSL hardware harmonics, the Bus Compressor still maintains the dynamic integrity of your tracks, even at high ratios.
We all want the classic analog sound, but for modern producers working in the digital domain, flexibility is key. That's why the SSL G3 Multi Bus Compressor has been built from the hardware original to offer more functionality for your mixes. New parameters have been added for Attack, Release and Ratio, allowing you to fine-tune the response to the tempo of your track, the instrument or group and genre of your music. The best thing? The signature sound of the Bus Compressor won't fall victim to pumping or destroying the dynamic character of your sound!
Bringing the patch-bay to the plug-in realm, the Multi Bus Compressor now features a side-chain input, with a side-chain input high-pass filter. Perfect for adding the punch and glue to the low end of your track in a clean way which doesn't become overpowering or too boomy, causing muddy mixes.
Boasting the classic sound of hardware SSL in a multi-band format, the Multi Bus Compressor offers a wide range of functionality to suit the needs of any engineer and producer. Making changes to every setting has been made incredibly simple with the Parameter Link control, enabling you to quickly and easily change input and output gain, threshold levels and makeup gains in each of the three bands simultaneously, creating a consistent sound across all three bands. For ease of dialling in tones, the Multi Bus Compressor also features auditioning for all three bands, allowing you to hear in isolation the effect of each band.
Rounding out the complete range of functionality, the Band Graph View provides an intuitive way to set your threshold and frequency crossovers, giving you greater control over your mix and allowing you to achieve the sound you want with precision and accuracy.
