Solid State Logic has announced the launch of the G3 MultiBusComp, and new plugin that leverages the company’s legacy in compression technology and adds multiband capabilities, sidechain routing and advanced processing tools to the G Series glue & punch maker.
“Our new G3 MultiBusComp represents yet another significant addition to our growing portfolio of plugins,” says Jon Sandman, plug-ins product manager at SSL. “With three distinct bands of compression, intelligent sidechaining options and other powerful features such as auto gain compensated 4K Drive, this is a must have plug-in for anyone involved with mixing or mastering.”
The plugin’s 4K Drive control is designed to bring the saturation characteristics and sound of the 4K console to G3 MultiBusComp. Available independently across each processing band, with the option to blend or “parallel” with the original signal due to a wet/dry mix setting, 4K Drive can be applied on a subgroup or added to a master.
The sidechain routing and processing enables users to customize the high-pass and low-pass filter cutoffs for each band, accentuate or diminish specific frequencies using the per-band bell filter, and independently trigger each band from an externally routed sidechain signal within a DAW. Parameter linking is designed to be a time saver, allowing users to automatically apply inverse changes between selected parameters on the fly.
G3 MultiBusComp’s auditioning feature offers mutually exclusive soloing on each band and each band’s sidechain input, enabling users to hear each band in isolation to make more informed mix decisions. With a resizeable GUI that can be adjusted from 50 to 200 percent, the G3 MultiBusComp is intended to provide a comfortable user experience that can be customized to a user’s specific needs.
G3 MultiBusComp is available now in several formats, including VST2, VST3, AAX and AU, and is offered for purchase $199.99 / £159.99 / €199.99, or via SSL’s Rent-to-Own plan.
