Key Features
The SSL Native Drumstrip is an all-encompassing solution for processing drums in one plug-in. Packed with five drum-specific processing tools, the SSL Native Drumstrip embodies the sound of classic SSL hardware in one streamlined plug-in. Perfect for covering most production situations, Drumstrip features a classic Listen Mic Compressor with added Narrow Band functionality, a dedicated Low and High-frequency Enhancer, Transient Shaper with audition mode and a Gate with independent Close and Open thresholds.
Bringing a hugely concentrated level of control to your productions, Drumstrip makes processing single drums or entire drum busses simple via the streamlined interface. Complex parameters with difficult-to-read meters are replaced with a concise number of settings in a modular format where each of the five unique processors can be re-arranged into any order to customise your signal flow. Simple input and output meters include RMS information for visual feedback over your dynamics control. For any producer, musician or mixing engineer, Drumstrip takes what can often be huge lists of plug-in chains and condenses them down to one simple channel strip.

Undeniably, producers will tell you that the classic 'SSL sound' is best put to use on drums. It makes perfect sense then to create a streamlined plug-in which puts five custom-tuned processors in one place to create professional mixes for your music. Punchy, powerful, articulate, thick, and full-bodied can all be used to describe where you can take your drums when using the SSL Drumstrip. Each module has been custom-tuned to meet the needs of modern producers, engineers and musicians looking to enhance their drum sound to the next level.
There are the conventional things you may find on other channel strips or processing units such as EQs, a gate and a compressor but here, they are implemented the SSL way. Firstly, the Gate module employs a Close and Open threshold level, letting you set the response of your gate to the quiet and loud sections of your audio, perfect for gating only the unwanted noise and leaving out the rest whilst maintaining the tail of your drum. Next, a Transient Shaper can enhance the attack portion of your drum hit, making it ideal for adding punch to weak or poorly recorded bass or snare drums to cut through a mix.
Specifically tuned for drums, a Low Freq Enhancer and High Freq Enhancer are on independent modules, giving you flexible control over the low-end punch and high-end sizzle and articulation. Each features a wide frequency range to cover each drum in a typical setup along with a Drive control to push the enhancement and an 'Amount' control to blend the wet/dry control of your processing.
Lastly, the most useful tool of all for drum processing, dynamics control! The classic Listen Mic Compressor, taken from revered SSL hardware, is included with added functionality. Smooth out spikey peaks and create cohesive and 'glued' sound by adding in the compression. A newly implemented Narrow Band feature allows you to take this traditionally limited-band compression and apply it full-range for drum bus or entire mix applications.
Boasting SSL hardware-level quality in your DAW, it's not just the sound of the SSL Drumstrip that makes this such a powerful tool for producers, musicians and engineers. Its functionality provides you complete control over your signal flow and processing as every drum and session is different! Five modules are included and can be re-ordered in any combination you like to get the best from your drum. Try experimenting with compression in EQ or why not squash the dynamic of your snare drum and bring back some attack with the transient shaper after?
Perfect for quickly auditioning between two settings simultaneously, the A/B functionality is on-hand to find the right sound in a mix without needing to dial in two different settings. When you've found the sound that's right for your mix, commit it to a preset and load it up in any future sessions without having to dial in settings again!
