It is aimed at productions where the low end must be \u003cstrong\u003eaudible, solid, and controlled\u003c\/strong\u003e: rap, hip-hop, trap, electro, modern pop, but also rock and film music when the kick drum and bass need to maintain a steady foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its subharmonic generation, it can add weight to a kick, tom, electric bass, 808, or even provide a coherent low end to \u003cstrong\u003epoorly recorded\u003c\/strong\u003e takes. And with its saturation options, you add definition in the upper low and lower midrange so the bass \"speaks\" even on smaller systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMain Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eIntelligent Subharmonic Generation on 4 Bands\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of Sub Gen is based on a harmonic approach: each band defines the frequency range in which to generate subharmonics, as well as their level. The plug-in analyzes the signal content one octave above, isolates the fundamental, then generates a sine wave that \u003cstrong\u003efollows the source's movement\u003c\/strong\u003e. The result: a low end that naturally blends with the original, instead of a simple EQ \"boost\" that can quickly become muddy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach band has dedicated controls (\u003cstrong\u003ebypass\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003esolo\u003c\/strong\u003e, frequency, and bandwidth), making fine adjustment easy: you can target a specific area (for example, the foundation of a kick) while avoiding overloading other registers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAnalyzer and Global Filters to Clean the Source\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking on subsonics requires a clean starting point. Sub Gen includes a \u003cstrong\u003epre-processing frequency analyzer\u003c\/strong\u003e to quickly identify problem areas and features musical \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pass\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003elow-pass\u003c\/strong\u003e filters with 12 dB per octave slopes. This helps remove unnecessary extremes before sub generation, improving stability and clarity in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBuilt-in Distortion: Grit Without Adding More Plug-ins\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo keep your bass audible on compact speakers and in dense contexts, SSL Sub Gen offers three types of analog-character distortion, easily accessible, plus a \u003cstrong\u003egain-compensated global Drive\u003c\/strong\u003e to enhance presence without unbalancing perceived level.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBass\u003c\/strong\u003e provides a '70s transistor-style drive, with stronger and more aggressive harmonics to add bite to basses. \u003cstrong\u003eKick\u003c\/strong\u003e is inspired by '60s\/'70s transistor amps for subtler harmonics, specially suited to kick drums. \u003cstrong\u003ePre\u003c\/strong\u003e is a '50s-style tube overdrive, softer and ideal for broadening the use to many sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eSSL Bus Compressor: The \"Glue\" to Hold the Low End Together\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdding ultra-low frequencies can quickly create excessive movement, mask the rest of the mix, and overload the master bus. To stabilize the sub generation and integrate it cleanly, Sub Gen includes a simple-to-use \u003cstrong\u003eSSL bus compressor\u003c\/strong\u003e: a \u003cstrong\u003ecompression amount\u003c\/strong\u003e control paired with a \u003cstrong\u003emake-up gain\u003c\/strong\u003e, with fixed times for a consistent and fast result.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amount control acts as a compound control: the threshold drops from 0 to -40 dBFS and the ratio rises from 1 to 8 as you increase the setting. Attack is fixed at 5 ms and release at 20 ms, with a 6 dB knee, for a smooth transition between uncompressed and compressed signals while preserving impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eFull software\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"flex:1 1 300px;width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDownloadable\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:2rem\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating range\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esubsonic frequencies from 20 Hz to over 160 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEach band\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003esolo, bypass, frequency, and bandwidth controls\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntuitive graphic\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eclick \u0026amp; drag adjustments for center frequency, bandwidth, and gain\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompression\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003efixed attack 5 ms, fixed release 20 ms, fixed knee 6 dB\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3 distortion types\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003ePre, Bass, Kick\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMixlock function\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003epreserves mix value when changing presets\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Systems\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMac Ventura, Big Sur, Monterey; Windows 10, 11; 12th generation Intel\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProcessor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eMac Apple silicon M1\/ARM (Universal 2 binary); Windows Intel Core 2 (or comparable) at 2.4 GHz or higher\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRAM\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eminimum 4 GB, 8 GB recommended\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthorization\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eiLok hardware or cloud-based required\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex:1 1 300px\"\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMac\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eAU, VST2, VST3, Native AAX\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWindows\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003eVST2 (64-bit), VST3 (64-bit), Native AAX (64-bit)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Solid State Logic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54357439938835,"sku":"407497","price":49.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/813d08a7c17a6b15f2d557eed7afea8db2d1a434_SSL_1331_1057.jpg?v=1788285904","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/solid-state-logic-ssl-subgen-407497","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
