Bypass, Metering and Trims
The power button at the top bypasses the Channel Strip 2 plug-in and is linked to the DAW's
insert bypass feature.
Input and Output metering is shown in the large segmented orange arrays, with the thinner
continuous bar on the inside showing RMS (average) level over time. When clipping occurs the
metering changes colour from orange to red and persists until cleared by clicking on the meter
with the mouse.
Beneath the Input and Output meters are +/- 20 dB INPUT and OUTPUT level trims.
Dynamics Sidechain Options
The high and low pass filters and EQ sections can be moved into the Dynamics sidechain, using
the buttons underneath DYNAMIC SIDECHAIN. The third option of EXTERNAL allows for the
sidechain to be fed from a source different to the internal sidechain. e.g. A bus send could be
set up in the DAW, so that a kick drum could trigger the compressor of a Channel Strip on a bass
guitar. Please note you will need to determine the external sidechain source using your DAW's
plug-in header bar.
Plug-in Mixer Number, Track Name and Plug-in Mixer Button
The 3-digit number in red tells you the position that the Channel Strip 2 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. 'Audio 1'. The button labelled PLUG-IN
MIXER opens the SSL 360° on the Plug-in Mixer page (presuming SSL 360° is
installed). Otherwise, it will take you to the SSL website.
Version Number, Misc Functions, SOLO and CUT
Beneath the SSL Native logo, the version of the plug-in is displayed e.g. 1.0.36. This
is important to pay attention to because SSL 360° releases will sometimes 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.
Ø - 180° polarity flip.
S/CHAIN LISTEN - Allows you to audition the sidechain of the plug-in.
SOLO 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.
SOLO CLEAR - Clears any active Channel Strip 2 SOLO button.
SOLO - Cuts the output of all other Channel Strip 2 plug-ins in the session.
CUT - Cuts the output of the Channel Strip 2 plug-in.
