2. About SSL “LMC+”
SSL LMC+ recreates the sound of the reverse talkback function of the SSL 4000E console, commonly known as the Listen Mic. The Listen Mic featured a built-in compressor designed to prevent overload and make quiet speech intelligible. Combining the Listen Mic Compressor with the noise gate built into the SSL 4000E gave birth to the gated reverb drum sound that defined the 1980s.
The LMC+ plugin goes beyond the original hardware, adding advanced features that the original console lacked: external sidechain, high-pass and low-pass filters, and Scoop and Split functions.
Features
- Recreates the sound of the Listen Mic Compressor of the SSL 4000E console
- Fixed attack and release curves ideal for ambient drums
- External sidechain to trigger gain reduction from an external source or signal
- Variable high-pass and low-pass filters to tune which frequencies trigger compression
- Scoop button phase-inverts the wet signal
- Split button activates a band-pass / subtraction mode
- Mix control makes parallel processing easy
