(00:00-00:34) Introduction to a multi-part video series on the SSL Bus Plus compressor, outlining the plan for covering its features over several videos.
(00:43-01:47) Explanation of the video approach—starting with basic features and progressively exploring more advanced functionalities in future videos.
(02:04-03:02) The SSL Bus Plus is a modern, feature-rich evolution of the classic G Series Bus Compressor, offering extended controls and flexibility.
(03:17-04:28) The unit supports multiple compression modes, including classic stereo, dual mono, and mid-side processing, to be explored in later videos.
(04:56-06:42) Overview of key compressor controls—threshold, ratio, attack, release, mix knob, and new dynamic EQ section. Includes expanded attack/release times and unique negative ratios for creative compression.
(08:05-09:42) Demonstration of classic SSL glue compression, achieving subtle cohesion and thickness in a mix. The compressor closely resembles the console's built-in SSL compressor.
(12:06-13:52) Introduction of three key enhancement features:
Low THD Mode: Reduces low-end distortion for a thicker bass response.
Feedback Mode: Creates a more relaxed compression feel compared to feed-forward compression.
4K Mode: Adds harmonic distortion for a vintage SSL 4000 series sound, with adjustable saturation levels.
(16:40-19:41) Demonstration of the 4K harmonic distortion feature, applying different saturation levels for added warmth and crunch, particularly useful on drums.
(20:39-22:09) Recap of features covered and a preview of upcoming videos, which will further explore advanced settings and real-world applications.
