Limiter
e original compressor also incorporated a limiter
section which we have modeled separately and
added as a single plug-in for maximum usability.
e British Class A Limiter is great for subtle level
control—or for beating your sounds into submis-
sion. By default, the British Class A Compressor
is loaded into the channel, so you load the limiter
by holding Shift + Track Selector 4 ( ).
Use the Volume/Select knob to scroll to British
Class A Limiter, and press Solo/OK to conrm.
To shift back to the British Class A Compressor,
go through the same process but this time select
British Class A Compressor. No modications have
been made to the limiter’s release times, these are
just the same as on the analog hardware original.
Gate
One of the lesser-known classic British units from
this era, the original analog gate shared the same
form factor as the equalizer and compressor units
we’ve modelled. e gate does a terric job of keep-
ing tracks tighter and cleaner, and using the side-
chain input makes it very useful for ultra-musical
keying purposes. Compared to the included SSL SL
4000 E gate, you will note that the British Class A
Gate has a slower and more sluggish behavior when
it opens and closes. is means that transients of
the sound will be rounded o and made softer.
Some slight changes have been made to the opera-
tion of the British Class A Gate compared to the
SSL SL 4000 E gate. e Gate knob on the Con-
sole 1 hardware controls the British Class A Gate’s
threshold setting, Gate Release is called Recovery
in the software and we have omitted the Punch and
Sustain functionality and instead let the Punch
knob control the British Class A Gate’s Depth
parameter.
