What SSL LMC+ does
Fixed attack and release curves are tailored for ambient drums, and the developer adds an external sidechain input that triggers gain reduction from a separate source signal. Variable highpass and lowpass filters set which frequencies are allowed to trigger compression. The Scoop button phase-inverts the wet signal, the Split button engages bandpass-subtraction mode, and a Mix control handles parallel processing.
Key features
- Console-based compression. The compressor is modeled on the Listen Mic Compressor from the SSL 4000E, with fixed attack and release curves tailored for ambient drums.
- External sidechain. An external source signal can trigger the gain reduction, separate from the audio being compressed.
- Variable filters. Highpass and lowpass filters set which frequencies are allowed to trigger compression.
- Scoop and Split buttons. Scoop phase-inverts the wet signal, and Split engages a bandpass-subtraction mode.
- Crack, keygen and serial variants. Searches pair the name with keygen, serial key and iLok emulator, and the iLok bypass string is typed alongside the crack files.
Compatibility
The plugin is distributed as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows 10 and macOS 11 in 64-bit builds, with native Apple Silicon support listed.
