The SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 is a powerful tool that brings the legendary sound of the SSL console compressor module to your DAW. Derived from the renowned SSL G-Series console from the 80s, this compressor delivers the same analog character and response as the hardware, with added features tailored for the digital domain. Its purpose is to make your tracks sound bigger and more powerful, while also creating cohesion and balance between multiple instruments, commonly referred to as “gluing” your tracks together.
The Native Bus Compressor 2 is designed with several enhancements for modern producers. It includes new controls for Attack, Release, and Ratio, giving you added flexibility in fine-tuning the compressor’s response. Additionally, it features a built-in wet/dry knob for parallel processing, a side-chain input with a high-pass filter, and switchable oversampling up to 4X.

If you’re looking to add some “glue” to your tracks, the SSL G-Series bus compressor section is revered by many. It has a unique trick up its sleeve that sets it apart from other compressors. By taking instruments in a bus and adding some “glue,” the Bus Compressor 2 captures the exact response and sound of the original console compressor, adding punch and life to your busses. Its musical response caters to any genre, tempo, or instrument you may have in your mix bus, making it perfect for achieving that classic “sound like a record” vibe. Even at high ratios, this compressor maintains the dynamic integrity of your tracks.
While we all love the classic analog sound, modern producers working in the digital realm require flexibility. That’s why the SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 offers more functionality compared to its hardware counterpart. It introduces new parameters for Attack, Release, and Ratio, allowing you to fine-tune the compressor’s response to match the tempo, instrument or group, and genre of your music. The best part is that the signature sound of the Bus Compressor 2 remains intact, avoiding pumping or destroying the dynamic character of your sound.
In addition to its audio capabilities, the Bus Compressor 2 now features a side-chain input with a high-pass filter, emulating the patch-bay functionality found in hardware setups. This feature is perfect for adding punch and glue to the low end of your track in a clean and controlled manner, without overpowering or muddying the mix.
The SSL Native Bus Compressor 2 comes with the following features: Apple Silicon M1/ARM Native support, compatibility with UC1 controller, the fabled punchy compressor for the classic “glueing” effect in your mixes, newly designed Attack, Release, and Ratio controls, quintessential Auto release mode, A/B switching for simultaneous sound comparison, oversampling up to 4X, external side-chain with HPF filtering for clean low-end compression, and the ability to maintain the dynamic character of a mix even at higher ratios.
