Solid State Logic has recently released a new audio plugin that is designed to remove unwanted sounds, while bringing clarity and presence to the source signal.

A highly optimized expander that reduces mic bleed in live and studio recordings without the need for a gate, SSL Sourcerer gives users a more natural-sounding mix.

Its suite of intuitive controls has been designed to maximise workflow, and include adjustable Threshold, Time, and Depth settings, as well as High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters to dial in settings quickly and efficiently.

Initially developed for the SSL Live console range, Sourcerer builds upon SSL’s rich history of digital processing, helping both live and studio engineers overcome some of the ‘mic bleed’ and ‘feedback’ challenges they face. It can be used in a variety of scenarios, such as when you need to eliminate mic bleed in live jam recordings or suppress cross-talk in a podcast or panel discussion.

SSL Sourcerer features

  • Dynamic noise reduction.
  • Intuitive controls for fast results.
  • External sidechaining.
  • RMS and Peak detection modes.
  • High-pass and Low-pass Filters.
  • Sidechain monitor.

Priced $79.99 USD at Plugin Boutique and from the SSL store, Sourcerer is available for Windows and Mac in VST/VST3, AU and AAX plugin formats for Windows and Mac.
