What SSL Native Drumstrip does
The plugin groups the processors needed for a drum mix into one channel strip. Its modules include a transient shaper that works on attack and sustain, a dedicated drum gate that cleans up mic bleed and unwanted background noise, a high-frequency enhancer for a more vibrant top end and a low-frequency enhancer aimed at tighter low end. The developer also lists a classic SSL listen mic compressor, and the processor order can be rearranged to build a custom signal chain.
Drumstrip is offered as VST3, VST2, AU and AAX for Windows and macOS (64-bit), and activation uses iLok.
Key features
- Channel strip layout. All components are arranged as a single channel strip, so the drum mix is handled in one place rather than across separate plugins.
- Transient shaper. The transient shaper adjusts the attack and sustain portions of a drum hit, which changes how much impact a sound carries.
- Drum gate. A dedicated gate is intended to clean up mic bleed and unwanted background noise between hits.
- High and low enhancers. A high-frequency enhancer targets the top end, while a low-frequency enhancer is aimed at tightening the low end.
- SSL listen mic compressor. The developer describes a classic SSL listen mic compressor as the source of its traditional drum sound.
- Reorderable chain. The processors can be reordered, so the signal chain can be customized to the material.
