SSL x autoSeries

Dial in your sound with Profile and Style. Profile tells the Al assistance what source it's working with, genre-specific Full Mix: Electronic, Pop, R&B, Metal, Rock, Hip-Hop, Acoustic Country, and Funk, optimising processing for that signal type and genre.

Beyond Full Mix, there are also Vocal, Guitar, and Drum bus profiles, giving you even more tailored options for different elements of your production. Unlike a preset with fixed parameters, a profile adapts intelligently to your input. Style shapes the character of the processing: Strong, Medium, or Soft. Together, Profile and Style give you flexible, editable starting points. Let sonible's Al analyse your audio and deliver real-time recommendations, so you can move fast, stay creative, and achieve musical results with the authentic SSL Bus Compressor sound.
