Solid State Logic (SSL), a pioneer in audio mixing technology, recently unveiled its latest plug-in, the G3 MultiBusComp. Building on the legacy of SSL’s acclaimed compression technology, the G3 MultiBusComp not only introduces multiband capabilities to the renowned G Series glue & punch maker but also incorporates advanced processing tools. The plug-in is now available in various formats, including VST2, VST3, AAX, and AU through the continuously expanding SSL Complete subscription, starting at $14.99 monthly, SSL’s Rent to Own plan, or a perpetual purchase.
The SSL G3 MultiBusComp Plug-in enhances the original G-Series Bus Compressor by integrating multiband technology, advanced processing, and robust sidechain routing, making it a must-have for engineers and producers seeking distinctive SSL sound in their mixes. The plug-in offers the classic SSL “glue” compression across three independently configurable frequency bands, catering to various production needs, from final polish to precise rectification of problematic recordings. This high versatility makes G3 MultiBusComp a powerful tool for bus processing across any genre.

“G3 MultiBusComp represents yet another significant addition to our growing portfolio of plug-ins,” says Jon Sandman, Plug-ins Product Manager at SSL. He further highlighted that “with three distinct bands of compression, intelligent sidechaining options, and other powerful features such as auto gain compensated 4K Drive, this plug-in is a must-have for anyone involved in mixing or mastering.”
The G3 MultiBusComp plug-in features include the 4K Drive control, providing users with the iconic saturation characteristics of SSL’s revered SL 4000 Series, powerful sidechain routing, and advanced parameter linking. A standout feature, the 4K Drive control, is available independently across each processing band, allowing users to add warmth and character to a mix. The plug-in also offers an intuitive and customizable user experience with a resizeable GUI adjustable from 50% to 200%.
In a nutshell, the G3 MultiBusComp plug-in combines SSL’s legacy in compression technology, multiband processing, and advanced features to deliver a powerful, versatile, and customizable tool for anyone involved in mixing or mastering.
