Channel Strip Plug-in User Guides
For in-depth information on all features of the channel strip plug-ins, please refer to the individual plug-in user guides on the SSL
Support Site. This User Guide focuses on UC1 and Plug-in Mixer integration with the channel strip plug-ins.
Plug-in Mixer Number, Track Name and 360° Button
The 3-digit number in red tells you the position that the channel strip plug-in has
been assigned to in the 360° Plug-in Mixer. To the right of this is the name of the
DAW track the plug-in is inserted on - e.g. 'LEADVOX'. The button labelled
360° opens the SSL 360° on the Plug-in Mixer page
(presuming SSL 360° is installed). Otherwise, it will take you to the SSL website.
SOLO, CUT & SOLO CLEAR
In some DAWs, the
SOLO
and
CUT
buttons directly control the DAW's Solo and Mute buttons. In others, the soloing system is
independent.
SOLO AND CUT linked to DAW
(Must use VST3 format)
SOLO AND CUT independent of DAW
Live Pro Tools
Studio One Logic Pro
REAPER Cubase/Nuendo
For DAWs whereby the SOLO and CUT integration is independent (not linked to the DAW) , this is how it works:
SOLO - Cuts the output of all other channel strip plug-ins in the session.
CUT - Cuts the output of the channel strip plug-in.
SAFE - Prevents the plug-in from being cut in response to another channel strip in the session having its SOLO
activated. Useful for when channel strips are inserted onto Aux/Bus tracks within the session. This button does
not function in DAWs where
SOLO and CUT are linked to the DAW.
Recommended workflow when SOLO and CUT are independent of DAW:
1. Insert a 360°-enabled channel strip plug-in on all tracks in your DAW session.
2. Make sure to engage the
SOLO SAFE button on channel strips that have been inserted onto Auxes/
Busses/Sub Groups/Sub Mixes. This will ensure that you hear individual instruments that are routed to
these destinations when you start soloing.
SOLO SAFE prevents a channel strip from being cut when another channel strip's SOLO is activated.
SOLO CLEAR
Clears any active Channel Strip solos.
This button does not function for DAWs where
SOLO and CUT are linked to the DAW.
Version Number
In the bottom-right of the plug-in GUI, the version is displayed e.g. 2.0.27 This is important
to pay attention to because SSL 360° releases will often require a certain version of plug-in
to be installed in order for the system to function correctly. Please check the
SSL 360°
Release Notes
article on the SSL knowledgebase to check you are running compatible
versions.
