Available at www.plugin-alliance.com as of April 8.<\/p>\n<p>The SSL 9000 J improved upon its predecessors by offering extended bottom end, a more clean and open top end, and additional distortion-free headroom \u2014 quickly making it a favorite among the top producers and engineers who crafted some of the biggest pop, hip-hop, R&amp;B, and orchestral recordings of the 1990s, 2000s, and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Brainworx\u2019s bx_console SSL 9000 J was developed using the original Solid State Logic 9000 J schematics and built by using component modeling in close collaboration with SSL engineers. Additional refinement of the exacting emulation came courtesy of GRAMMY\u00ae Award-winning mix engineer Michael Brauer, who helped Brainworx by matching the plugin\u2019s sound and behaviour to the SSL 9000 J he personally used on countless Gold- and Platinum-selling records throughout his celebrated career.<\/p>\n<p>Musically, Michael Brauer and other top-tier mix engineers have helped create a rich menu of presets so users of the bx_console SSL 9000 J plugin can get going without necessarily needing to start from scratch. Speedily experience the sound of SSL at its best \u2014 in the box, with the console design used on countless major releases from artists including Aerosmith, James Bay, Beyonc\u00e9, Mary J. Blige, Joe Bonamassa, Coldplay, DMX, Evanescence, Yo Gotti, Jay-Z, Wyclef Jean, Alicia Keys, John Legend, Madonna, John Mayer, Nicki Minaj, Nas, Rihanna, Santana, Shakira, Britney Spears, The Black Eyed Peas, Usher, Kanye West, and so many more.<\/p>\n<p>But better still, bx_console SSL 9000 J has been taken to the next level by Brainworx adding powerful plugin-only features, such as continuously variable THD (Total Harmonic Distortion) and V GAIN (virtual gain) controls to add colorful saturation and\/or simulated analog noise independently or globally \u2014 changeable across all plugin instances. In addition to the original EQ, DYNAMICS, and FILTERS sections, it also features switchable EQ modes between E- and G-style filters.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2816\" src=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-905x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"788\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-905x1024.jpeg 905w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-265x300.jpeg 265w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-768x869.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-1357x1536.jpeg 1357w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-1810x2048.jpeg 1810w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-696x788.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-1392x1575.jpeg 1392w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-1068x1208.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-1920x2172.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-371x420.jpeg 371w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4-742x840.jpeg 742w, https:\/\/thestudiolounge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/2fb56666bd1405493428c206b8f5d0a32fedd4c4.jpeg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Notable 9000 Series-only dynamics features such as \u2018peak detect\u2019 and expander\/gate \u2018hold\u2019 are all present and correct, accessible via a scalable UI (User Interface) to adapt to various screen sizes and workflows.
