Does UC1 work with my third-party SSL Plug-ins?

Yes! You can use 3rd party plug-ins by hosting them in the SSL 360 Link plug-in or the 360 Link Bus Compressor plug-in.

360 Link and 360 Link Bus Compressor are free of charge and available to download via SSL Download Manager.

 

Do I need to have UC1 connected to use the Plug-in Mixer?

No! You can use the plug-ins and Plug-in Mixer without the UC1 hardware attached!

 

Tested USB Hubs

These hubs have been tested with SSL equipment:

Anker 4-Port Ultra Slim USB 3.0 Data Hub 

TP-Link UH720 

Startech 10-Port USB Hub 

OWC Thunderbolt 4 Dock 

Caldigit Thunderbolt 4 Dock 

Caldigit Element Thunderbolt 4 | USB 4 Hub 

 

AU/VST Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plug-ins are not showing up on UC1

In Cubase, Studio One, Live, and REAPER AU and VST plug-ins are not supported by the plug-in mixer. 

Use the provided VST3 plug-in formats, as these provide the SSL 360° Plug-in Mixer with special hooks to synchronise the DAW track name and track number. See this FAQ (Studio One and SSL Native) for information about using SSL VST3 plugins in Studio One on ARM based Macs. The above does not apply for Logic, whereby AUs are supported in the Plug-in Mixer.
