Current Preset Name

Displays the name of the currently loaded Preset, or (Untitled), if the Setting hasnʻt been stored yet.

NOTE: The def.SEF, def.SCD and def.SBC presets restore the factory defaults, so we advise you to not overwrite them.

TIP: In order to copy the EQ settings from one channel to another, we recommend creating a new folder for each project. Within this folder, you should store the settings as a preset with the channel number in the name.

Instant Compare Function

This is used to store a Plug-In setting temporarily without having to save it as a preset.

Press the STORE TEMP button to store the current plug-in setting to a temporary memory.

After further tweaking the current setting can be compared with the temporarily stored setting by pressing the RECALL TEMP button.

In pressed state the recall button recalls the temporarily stored version.

Clicking the recall button again to non pressed state reverts to the current status. If there is not a temporarily stored setting present (store has not yet been pressed), pressing the recall button will reset to the default factory settings of the plug-in.

The recall button will pop out once the plug-in is tweaked and the current setting is lost. The stored version is not overwritten in the temporary memory until the button is STORE TEMP pressed again.

Plug-In Bypass

Pressing the BYPASS button removes the Plug-In from the signal chain to easily compare the original and processed sound.

The BYPASS button in the top bar and in the little Mixer Window of the plug-in are connected and perform exactly the same function.

In some SSL Console Plug-Ins it is also connected to a GUI Button (ie. DYN IN in Console Dynamics).

TIP1: As an alternative to Bypass you can also use „DSP-Muting“, to remove the actual process from the DSPʻs and free up Cycles for other Plug-Ins. Please refer to the SSL Mixer V6 or SSL Soundscape V6 Manual for more details.

TIP2: If you wish to bypass for example only a single EQ band, the recommended method is to use the STORE TEMP to save the settings and then reset the band gains to take them out of the signal chain. By now pressing the RECALL TEMP button, the band will be brought back into the signal chain. This can be done for single or multiple bands.

TIP: The temporarily stored version will not be saved with a preset, but it can be saved as a separate preset by pressing the recall button and then saving as a preset.
