Universal Audio has announced the release of UAD Software v9.2, featuring the new UA-developed SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection and Pure Plate Reverb. Here are the details in their own words...

SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection
In close partnership with Solid State Logic,® Universal Audio has introduced the SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection for UAD-2 hardware and Apollo interfaces -- an expert end-to-end circuit emulation of the compressor that is integral to the hit-making SSL sound. The G Bus Compressor is legend for making mixes bigger, more powerful, and punchy, all the while enhancing cohesion and clarity.

Embarking on a ground-up re-design of the original SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in, UA's team of engineers meticulously modeled every nuance of the in-console and FX G384 rackmount specimens, including their unique CV (control voltage) summing. By capturing all of its circuit behaviors, the new SSL G Bus Compressor plug-in offers the same punchy, transparent glue, and ultra-accurate stereo image of the original hit-making hardware.

SSL 4000 G Bus Compressor Collection Key Features:

• An authentic end-to-end circuit emulation of SSL's iconic bus compressor exclusively for UAD-2 and Apollo interfaces

• DSP-lite SSL G Bus Compressor Legacy plug-in included

Pure Plate Reverb
The Pure Plate Reverb plug-in provides UA's revolutionary plate reverb emulation in a simple, affordable package -- with all of the essential features.
