SSL Fusion Vintage Drive

About

The SSL Fusion Vintage Drive plug-in is a digital emulation of the Vintage Drive processor from SSL’s critically acclaimed SSL Fusion stereo outboard hardware processor. Designed to produce the gentle harmonic saturation and soft compression reminiscent of driving vintage hardware into the analogue sweet spot, the SSL Fusion Vintage Drive plug-in is a must-have for adding organic analogue feel to your tracks, groups, mixes and masters.

SSL Fusion Vintage Drive offers some fantastic new options without complication; use the MIX control to dial in the perfect amount of vintage drive, use the AUTO GAIN functionality to drive the signal without destructively affecting your mix levels, and use the brand new ECO mode to drop the plug-in into zero latency, reduced-CPU operation for use during tracking and recording.
