Grab SSL Fusion HF Compressor For 36$ For A Limited Time!

4

PluginBoutique offers the SSL Fusion HF Compressor for just 36$ for a limited time.

This can be a great opportunity to update your toolbox with a compressor from the manufacturers of Solid State Logic, a UK company that doesn’t need any introduction.

What sets this compressor apart from the others on this busy market is its ability to tame harshness in your tracks and mixes.

Indeed, it affects only frequencies above the crossover you set and delivers the distinctive tape-like sound of high-frequency rounding.

The ratio, attack, and release are all optimized under the hood to achieve maximum transparency and smooth compression. Furthermore, the interface is clean and very simple to use, with essential controls in front of you.

You get the Input and Output Trim to adjust the gain staging of your signals, in addition to the Threshold, X-Over (which stands for Crossover), and Mix knobs to tailor the effect to your needs.

The visual feedback is great, too, with the Gain Reduction History graph and Gain Reduction meter that makes it easy to visualize the effect of the circuit.

The cherry on top of the feature cake is the Listen mode, which can solo the sibilant frequencies being compressed and removed from the signal. It will help you to better understand what you are affecting in the sound and make better mixing decisions.

Other fantastic features are the Auto Gain button and the built-in help. The Auto Gain applies an automatic make-up gain to the high frequencies – inviting you to try using it on drums at more extreme settings to tame harshness while maintaining crispy cymbals, for instance.

As expected, the built-in help helps you discover the controls on the interface to smoothen your learning curve. Simply click the ‘?’ symbol and hoover your mouse on the GUI controls for more information about each.

The ECO mode reduces latency and CPU use and is useful for tracking and recording purposes.

You also have UNDO/REDO and A/B functionalities to instantly compare different settings.

The SSL Fusion HF Compressor has presets designed by world-class producers and engineers like Adrian Hall, Caesar Edmunds, and Sean Divine to help you get started.

It may not be as advanced as the renowned Soothe2 magic plugin, but it can help you with similar tasks.

It’s available for Windows and macOS 64-bit machines, with AU, VST2, VST3, and AAX Native as formats. Note that you need an iLok account to authorize the software.

    Thanks for the heads-up. I actually bought this yesterday, following your article about AudioDeluxe’s 13th Anniversary sale.

    They are offering Fusion HF for $29.99…plus a pre applied discount code OCT23, worth $3.01 …AND…as you previously stated, T-RacksS Tapemachine 80 as a free gift with any purchase.

    Together with SSL Native X Saturator, as suggested elsewhere, reduced to $15.59, all three plugins cost me an amazing total of £34.71 when converted to GBP! I am extremely happy with this haul. ☺️
