SSL autoSeries Bundle
Featuring the SSL autoBUS, autoDYN and autoEQ, the SSL autoSeries Bundle are the first plug-ins to pair the legendary analogue character of the SSL 4000 console with sonible’s industry-leading AI‑assisted audio analysis.


SSL autoBUS
Modelled on arguably the most converted production tool ever created - the Bus Compressor from the legendary SSL 4000 G console - autoBUS analyses your audio, presents adaptive profile‑based, style‑matched settings, and instantly delivers mix bus or subgroup processing that remains fully editable. Users starting their production journey get learn‑as‑you‑mix guidance, the pros get to the stage of applying their unique touch faster, while everyone spends more time in the creative zone.




SSL autoDYN
Modelled on the SSL 4K E consoles channel strip Compressor/Limiter and Gate/Expander, autoDYN analyses your audio, presents adaptive profile‑based, style‑matched settings, and instantly delivers dynamics processing that remains fully editable. Users starting their production journey get learn‑as‑you‑mix guidance, the pros get to the stage of applying their unique touch faster, while everyone spends more time in the creative zone.




SSL autoEQ
Modelled on the SSL 4K E Channel Strip, autoEQ analyses your audio, presents adaptive profile‑based, style‑matched settings, and instantly delivers EQ processing that remains fully editable. Users starting their production journey get learn‑as‑you‑mix guidance, the pros get to the stage of applying their unique touch faster, while everyone spends more time in the creative zone.

the problem with this tech that it gives a unified sound to sources. another ai shit for the brainless producer wannabes. its either full controll or just and ai knob:learn. its just ssl skin on sonible junk. f*ck this shit

 

Why you getting triggered, what did the AI do to you?

 

Then don't buy it lol. I'm sure SSL stuff will eventually show up on sister site

 

Weird combination. I would've expected to see something like this in X-EQ2 or other "modern" style plugins, not analog emulations. Though i can see it being useful to people who use sonible stuff and SSL controllers, as a way of integrating both workflows.

 

This seems like a really lazy cash grab, but I'll explain why I feel that way.

Digital SSL emulations of hardware are very easy to learn, understand, and use, to begin with. That's what I've always loved about the hardware and the software emus. They're fast and simple.

Simply adding Sonible "AI" analysis/profiles without expanding the features or functionality of the SSL hardware emulations is extremely lazy and a huge missed opportunity.

Why not make it so that the EQ can add extra bands as needed?

Why not add multistage compression or RMS/Peak mix to the bus compressor? (I get that it won't be 1:1 with the hardware, but neither is adding AI)

Oh right, because that would take effort and might impact sales of other SSL and Sonible products...

The reason why Sonible AI makes sense with their own products, is because their flagship products offer A TON of features that go beyond standard stock plugins, or emulations of hardware units. These features are enhanced, or work alongside the AI analysis and profiling that Sonible offer.

This though?

Lame

 

Yeah this is just sales profit strictly, use ur fking ears and learn to use an EQ, compressor, use on master, and multi band on master, and good to go.

AI plugins cant help you develop the skills you need to be a producer, music has been made for decades with old ass plugins and still sounding good 30 20 years later, im a bit upset SSL did this. I have all SSL products almost. I use saturation mostly, eq sometimes, fusions series also pretty often, and ofc X Limit, transparant mode, is good, like they make top plugins, but AI infection is so annoying... for stem splitting, yeah AI is good, but thats because you can basically take samples from pro tracks, and use and or layer.

 

Plugin war is peaking, im done with it. Boris Brejcha my fav producer, uses 40 or less, i know this for a fact, and also he uses Cubase stock plugs.
and he is probably in my opinion the best mixer, master, sounddesigner alive today, when it comes to techno / minimal techno, he does go a bit mainstream now, but whatever. His older tracks are sick.

 

I don't know, one could argue the same about presets. That's honestly a pretty silly take

 

Now this is a more than reasonable take.

 

Yup kinda disappointed, missed opportunity. Fck AI conjobs!

 

I don't really understand the auto thing for the buss comp, or really the comp in general. But especially the buss comp. Absurdly simple plugin. EQ? sure, i can understand it. If your source material happens to line up to one of the pre-determined sources from sonible, sure, maybe a good starting point for a beginner or a musician who just needs to send a demo to a producer etc. However, It doesn't determine how that source material should fit into your overall mix, where it sits in relation to the rest of the elements in your song.

Either way, SSL plugins have always been a cash grab. Most don't even sound that great, and they do those stupid sales frequently. 95% off or something ridiculous like that.

 

All plugin manufacturers, Plugin Alliance, SSL, Slate, all is trying to make money, but i dont agree that SSL plugs are bad, mostly their compressors are for Rock music, but the EQ is actually pretty good, limiter too, saturation yeah,

But i think eventide and Plugin Alliance are pretty good, OFC Sugar Bytes, Sonic Charge, depends on what music you make.
d16 also top stuff.

But there is a thing called the plugin syndrome or whatever, you like think you need it so you end up getting 400 plugins or more, there is no way to learn them all, kiive audio is good, probably better than SSL, but Fabfilter is undeniably best. Audio Damage, cheap and good, they even let u use them for free for 20 mins, so you can dl them and just bounce stuff, dont even have to buy them, tho i bought some.
Slate digital also decent, Melda Productions also make good stuff, Voxengo.

And ofc stock plugins are usually pretty good, i think Logic is nr 1 in stock plugins, but the DAW is not that great, i switched to it to try to learn it, and its not very fast work flow, ableton is most flexible, Cubase for me is my go to now.
And ofc Softube also top stuff. There is so many plugins that if you buy or dl them , you cant keep track of them, so it makes your workflow worse.

All plugin makers are cash grabs, Audio Damage and Sonic Charge might be the least cash grab makers.

What are your fav plugs?

 

You sound super reasonable....

 

Saw a lot of videos on these and I really like it. This could really speed up my workflow making jingles/sync music where I don't want to spend more time than I need to to clean up my sessions before bouncing out 100+ stems to mix. So these won't even go in my mixing session because I have that system working perfectly already.
I don't see these tools as a replacement for human engineering either. That's never going to happen. There will always be high dollar value in real human mixing, and if you're good at it you will make more money when the masses go to AI and they all sound AI...nothing wrong with this. Your work will be worth more money, us mixing engineers will be considered boutique at this point so there is that rant.
But these are just great tools and that Bus Comp sounds excellent on the algo, becasue it's Sonible.
I'm definietely going to buy these if they don't pop up here, we're a little behind aren't we? lol.

 

Sonible algos are super solid (especially EQ, compression and limiting), so having them in SSL plugins is a win for people in the SSL ecosystem. As much as I would love to say the algos are wrong, at least 4 in 5 times they give you EQ settings that work. Compression and limiting on the other hand, I would say it's always spot-on, if it's doing something you don't want, you should just stick to manual (like I do, I'm a slow attack fast release for everything type of person).

The plugin is pretty barebones, though, so I think it's the most interesting for the people who are already using the "dumb" version of those plugins and those who are using "dumb" versions of the same emulations by other companies. It's more about the SSL sound than the actual tech, for most people on the outside this is really just nothing.

 

Fail to understand the logic, by cleaning up you mean probably HP/LP EQ, how this thing makes it any faster? If anything, if you start analyzing audio, clicking on drop down menus and everything it will take you much longer then just actually going in and then moving HP/LP band.

 

It needs to have a group learn function. If it doesn't then in my opinion, the plugin isn't finished.

 

Yah for sure. There are still plenty of devs that keep things affordable and make quality or unique plugins, but the big boys are often times cash grabs. Theres also people like Chris at Airwindows, who just endlessly give awesome products for free.

Its hard to list favs. I use a ton of plugins. I have a randomization system set up, which will load a random plugin from a category that i set up (filter, surgical eq, color eq, vibe compression, mb comp, etc etc etc) So im constantly cycling through plugins. I do this to make the process more fun and exciting. I have my go-to plugins as well, but i use the randomizers at least 50% of the time.

I like much of what you listed as well. I don't think FabFilter is the best, but they make great plugins. I use them often, a few are in my templates. I would say my most used plugins are Nebula programs, as well as some Acustica plugins, also UVI stuff, U-he, Pulsar Modular, some UAD and so on.

 

At first I saw this, and was like, neato... I like SSL's plugins, especially Native Bus Compressor 2. But then I was like, you know what, I actually like being in control with this one, and it is a real easy one to find the right settings for gluing stuff together. It has a specific use for me, that one. I might try the AI one just to see, but I do agree with @JohnnyBoy023 ... plugin paralysis can be a problem for a lot of people.. me too. I should probably just avoid it. I got a new O/S drive last year and did a reformat and trimmed down my plugins A LOT when i reinstalled.. but somehow a lot of new stuff keeps creeping in. Damn you, R2R!
