bx_console SSL 9000 J

SSL’s Most Celebrated Console For HIP-HOP Is Now Available In Your DAW

Legendary SSL Sound Character

The big, deep and clear sound of the Solid State Logic 9000 series consoles is now available through Plugin Alliance, brought to you by Brainworx. With the power of TMT this officially-authorized bx_console SSL 9000 J plugin allows you to mix on a 72-channel analog SSL console—inside your DAW!

SSL’s Biggest-Sounding Console

The SSL 9000 J improved on its predecessors by offering extended bottom end, a more clean and open top end, and additional distortion-free headroom—quickly making it a favorite among the top producers and engineers who crafted some of the biggest pop, hip hop, R&B and orchestral recordings of the 1990s, 2000s and beyond.

Used On Major Hits From Across Genres

The 9000 J is SSL at its cleanest, most modern, and arguably, its best for modern production styles. This was the console design behind countless major releases from artists including The Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Jay-Z, Beyoncé, Aerosmith, Evanescence, Britney Spears, Madonna, Rihanna, Alicia Keys, Shakira, Santana, Joe Bonamassa, John Mayer, Coldplay, James Bay, Wyclef Jean, Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, Yo Gotti, John Legend, DMX, Mary J Blige, Nas and so many more.

Created In Collaboration With SSL And Mixing Legend Michael Brauer

The bx_console SSL 9000 J was created using the original schematics, and in close collaboration with the SSL team. But additional refinement of the emulation came thanks to legendary mixer Michael Brauer, who helped Brainworx match the plugin’s sound and behavior to the SSL 9000 J that he personally used on countless gold- and platinum-selling records throughout his career.

Enhanced With Special Features Only Possible In The Digital Domain

The plugin version of the 9000 J also adds on powerful features that can only be found in the digital domain, such as adjustable THD, a compressor mix parameter, and a V-Gain control for authentic control of the analog signal path. Michael Brauer and other top mixers have also helped create a rich menu of presets to help you get started using the bx_console SSL 9000 J plugin in your own mixes.
