SSL Sourcerer is a highly optimised expander that reduces mic bleed in live and studio recordings without the need for a gate, giving users a more natural-sounding mix. Its suite of intuitive controls has been designed to maximise workflow, and include adjustable Threshold, Time, and Depth settings, as well as High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters to dial in settings quickly and efficiently.
Initially developed for the SSL Live console range, Sourcerer builds upon SSL’s rich history of digital processing, helping both live and studio engineers overcome some of the ‘mic bleed’ and ‘feedback’ challenges they face. It can be used in a variety of scenarios, such as when you need to eliminate mic bleed in live jam recordings or suppress cross-talk in a podcast or panel discussion.
SSL Sourcerer comes with 3 easy-to-use release time settings - Slow, Medium and Fast - allowing users to match the decay of the gate to the natural release of the audio source, therefore preventing any unnatural cutoffs.
Make precise adjustments based on real-time visual cues with the dual visual feedback graphs featured in SSL Sourcerer. The top graph represents the sidechain and filtered signals, while the bottom graph displays the threshold levels and gain reductions.
The ducking feature provides greater control in complex live situations where there are periods of relative silence, such as panel discussions, or where constant background noise can be intrusive, such as live performances in front of crowds. The ducking feature also includes an adjustable ducking delay to synchronize the effect of ducking with the timing of the source material.
