Key Features
The SSL Spring Bundle brings together two extremely versatile, simple and powerful tools for vocal processing, the Harrison Vocal Intensity Processor and the SSL De-Ess. The Harrison Vocal Intensity Processor is a powerful plugin designed to elevate your vocal tracks to professional standards with ease. Perfect for singers, rappers, podcasters, and streamers, it simplifies vocal polishing by combining the best of Harrison's analog console heritage. The plugin features an intuitive Vocal Leveler to smooth out dynamics, iconic 32C High and Low-Pass Filters to shape the frequency spectrum, and an RTA Display for visualizing your sound before and after processing. With the addition of Bump and Bright buttons, you can enhance the tonal quality of your vocals for any genre or style. The K-12 Output Meter and built-in limiter ensure your vocals maintain a consistent level without distortion or clipping, making it the ultimate vocal enhancement tool.
The SSL DeEss is a sibilance reduction and high-frequency control correctional tool used to reduce excess sibilance and harsh mid-high frequency build-ups such as the 'ess' and 'shh' sounds in vocal takes. Enjoy a varied range of intuitive workflow enhancements such as automatic auditioning and built-in brighten control for breathing life back into de-essed signals. Alongside this DeEss allows you to change the input level of the signal without a destructive effect on the response of the de-esser, thanks to a relative threshold algorithm. This also means that you can de-ess quiet sibilant events as effectively as loud ones.

The Vocal Intensity Processor simplifies dynamic control with an easy-to-use Vocal Leveler. By adjusting the Intensity knob, you drive the Leveler to compress the vocal track gently, ensuring smooth and consistent dynamics across your performance. The visual gain reduction meter alongside the Leveler provides immediate feedback on the amount of compression applied, making it straightforward to achieve the perfect balance.
The High and Low-Pass Filters, derived from the legendary Harrison 32C console, offer precise control over the spectral characteristics of your vocals. Adjusting the HP Freq and LP Freq knobs shapes your vocal sound, while the RTA Display gives you a visual representation of the signal's spectral changes. This feature allows you to make informed decisions on frequency adjustments for optimal clarity and warmth.
With the Bump and Bright features, the Vocal Intensity Processor goes beyond basic processing to enhance the tonal quality of your vocals. Bump adds a subtle low-end boost, perfect for adding warmth, whereas Bright provides a high shelf boost to bring out the clarity and presence in your vocals. These tools work in tandem with the filters to tailor your sound precisely.
The K-12 Output Meter and built-in limiter are designed to maintain optimal vocal levels, ensuring your tracks sound great on any system. The Output Meter guides you to keep the average signal level within the target range, while the limiter prevents clipping by capping the output signal, guaranteeing a polished, professional mix without the risk of distortion.
The filters section limits the frequency of the content of the sidechain that triggers the de-esser. You can dial in precise filtering to ensure that the de-essing effect only kicks in when undesirable frequency content is present. Simply set the frequency cutoffs for the high-pass and low-pass filter within the intuitive user interface and you can accurately define the trigger for de-essing.
Unlike classic de-essers, DeEss uses a 'relative' threshold. In this case, the threshold is set relative to the loudness of the signal rather than being an absolute value. Essentially, this means that de-essing will occur no matter how loud or quiet the signal is. Not only does this mean that de-essing is applied to softer passages just as efficiently as louder passages, but also that increasing the level of your signal earlier in your signal chain is less likely to have a destructive effect on your DeEss settings.
The compression history graph plots the pre-filter input signal and highlights the sections of the signal that are being compressed in three colours. Bright yellow indicated heavy de-essing, dim yellow indicated light de-essing, and grey indicated that no de-essing is being applied, and the signal is untouched. Waveform visualisation is useful for identifying events in the signal that can be hard to track in a frequency plot, and for dialling in the amount of de-essing with precision.
Advanced compression settings allow for powerful de-essing modes with efficient processes and unique results. The blend control can be used to blend between split and broadband sidechaining modes. Towards split, attenuation is only applied to the frequency band defined in the filters section, whereas moving the blend slider towards broadband causes attenuation to be applied equally across all frequencies. The brighten control accentuates the high-frequencies of your signal in conjunction with de-essing to avoid affected areas becoming dull, providing you with a method to easily rejuvenate your signal after heavy de-essing. Lookahead adds a small amount of latency, which allows the de-esser to react to sibilant events slightly ahead of when they occur. Finally, oversampling can be turned on to reduce aliasing introduced by compression, therefore improving quality. Any oversampling applied is automatically dependent on your sample rate.
