Solid State Logic partners with sonible on new autoSeries plugins “combining the Sonic Legacy of SSL with sonible’s AI-assisted audio analysis”

Solid State Logic has partnered with sonible for a new family of plugins that bring together its “best-in-class” 4000 E modelling with sonible’s AI-assisted audio analysis.

The trio of new plugins, known as the autoSeries family, include autoEQ, autoDYN, and autoBUS, and are the only official SSL 4000 Series plugins on the market to harness sonible’s AI capabilities.

The AI-assisted analysis featured across the range helps users create and adapt processing relative to their source material. Each plugin analyses your audio’s spectral and dynamic characteristics to suggest adaptive profiles with style-matched settings that are fully editable.

autoEQ is modelled on the SSL 4K E channel strip, and SSL says it delivers “the same sonic signature that helped shape records by artists including Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Kate Bush, U2, Metallica, and more.” autoDYN is modelled on the SSL 4K E consoles channel strip Compressor/Limiter and Gate/Expander, and provides punchy compression, fast musical gating, and a range of other dynamic possibilities.

The final plugin, autoBUS, is modelled on the coveted Bus Compressor from the SSL 4000 G console, the sound of which was embraced by engineers and producers including Tom Lord-Alge, Bob Rock, and MixedByAli, and used by artists including Springsteen, Pink Floyd, Nirvana, and Massive Attack.

“SSL has always strived to create recording and production tools that allow our customers to expand their abilities and focus on their creation,” says Enrique Perez, SSL GM/CTO. “This new partnership with sonible builds in their powerful AI audio analysis engine to complement our classic SSL processing, giving our customers more freedom to do exactly that.”

Alex Wankhammer, sonible CMO, adds: “sonible has been at the forefront of AI-assisted audio processing for over a decade, and this initial partnership with SSL showcases how new machine learning tools can combine with traditional processing techniques to offer users something very unique”.

The autoSeries plugins are available now, with individual perpetual licenses at an introductory price of $49/£39/€49 (excluding taxes) through to 26 January. They are also available as part of the Complete Access subscription.
