hey what's going on out there i'm sean divine hope you all are doing well
today i'm excited to give you all a walk through and a demo
of the all-new divine mixing ssl native template this is a simple yet very powerful and efficient
mixing and tracking template it utilizes two core ssl native plug-ins one being
the all-new ssl native channel strip 2 the other being the ssl native bus compressor 2
the channel strip 2 which is modeled after the 9000k ssl hardware console is utilized on every
single track so i've dialed in something like 40 different channel strip 2 presets for you all
for a lot of different instrument types as well as vocals and this is going to give you just an ideal
starting point rather than having you know three four five different plugins to accomplish what the
channel strip two is doing we can just start here and have that uh ssl character out of the gates
going down to our stereo bus we have the legendary bus compressor 2 which is going to give you a bit
of glue and some punch for your overall mix or your tracking session so using these two plugins
and having them set up in the way that i do here in this template you essentially have an ssl
hardware console right here in the daw and it really transforms the sound as well as just your
starting point in terms of mixing and tracking here in logic now for those of you utilizing the
uc1 as well as the uf8 controllers this template is fully compatible and it gives you a very
hands-on fast intuitive workflow if i play it back i can go through all of the different
tracks and make my edits on the fly i don't even need to look at the screen necessarily
let's just select all of the tracks here and i'm going to disable just the channel strips
on all of these tracks and then we're going to play this back with and without so let's
go ahead and bypass them i'll go ahead and turn off the the bus compressor as well
the template includes this full demo song with audio so you all can really get a feel for how
things are set up you can listen to the raw audio how i tracked it all the different aspects of the
way i have this laid out and then once you're familiar and comfortable with that the actual
template or the one that you'll be dragging in files or tracking in is accessible from
the project alternatives menu so just go up here to file project alternatives and then we're going
to select the ssl native template no audio once that's open it's the same settings everything's
laid out the same way but again there's no audio so you can go ahead and just start dragging your
files in and if you want to track all you need to do is just go over here to your vocal tracks
that i have set up for you you see i've noted that minus 25 lufs short-term is the optimized
and suggested input level but you just select those tracks and then just go up here and select
your corresponding input for your mic then you can go ahead and track with it with no latency
all right y'all so i can't wait to hear what you do with this template when i got my hands on these
new plugins as well as the new controllers i just found that this was something that streamlined
my process as far as starting not to say that you can't expand on this i've even set up some
different auxes for you all to add in reverbs and delays of your choice but this is just a starting
point that saved me a lot of time and it's also a lot of fun to track in because it is low latency
if you have any questions about ssl native template feel free to leave it below hope you
all enjoy it it is available now on my website which is seandivine.com we'll talk to you soon
you
