> Despite its unassuming looks, Solid State Logic’s Fusion processor is a brilliant piece of kit. Designed specifically for digital studios, this box of analogue tricks can sit across your main mix buss, or a stem buss, from where it treats your audio to some extra-special SSL pampering. The results can be spectacular, giving your mix the body, space and sparkle that you’d expect from a high-end analogue console, not a mid-range processor.
The Fusion hardware is reasonably affordable, but this hasn’t stopped SSL from converting the analogue processors of the hardware into plugins that are affordable for all. We looked recently at the first two of these, Fusion Vintage Drive and Fusion Stereo Image, in 302, but now it’s the turn of the next two releases in the series: Fusion HF Compressor and Fusion Violet EQ.
“The very intuitive readout makes it really easy to understand how the compressor is responding”
