Solid State Logic has announced the new Sourcerer FX plugin, providing a dynamics processing tool for removing unwanted ambient sound, feedback, and stage bleed from live and pre-recorded sources.
Via its user interface, Sourcerer is able to quickly help target specific sounds and remove them in a natural way while retaining the original characteristics of the original source. The new plugin is available in VST, VST, AU, AXX formats and as part of the SSL and Slate Digital Complete Access Bundle.
Sourcerer is outfitted with frequency-dependent expansion, filtering and sidechain controls that users can employ to attenuate unwanted sounds while imparting added clarity and presence to the signal’s primary source. It’s designed not to leave the artefacts commonly found when using a traditional gate or ducking compressor.
The plugin is equipped with controls designed to quickly shape sound while retaining the important natural elements of the recorded source material. Featuring adjustable Threshold, Time, and Depth settings, Sourcerer can be adapted to fit various scenarios such as a concert recording, an instrument captured with multiple microphones recorded in the studio, a broadcast panel, or even film dialogue.
Jon Sandman, SSL plugin product manager, says, “Sourcerer is yet another display of SSL’s legacy in digital audio processing in a variety of production environments. It’s a utility tool that helps producers and engineers provide a simple and effective solution to removing unwanted noise.”
The software can be used for a range of applications such as isolating lead vocals, increasing headroom, removing mic bleed, and more. It’s available as a stand-alone plugin or as part of SSL Complete, which is included in the “Complete Access Bundle” dual subscription — alongside every Slate Digital plugin — for $14.99 per month (Ts&Cs apply).
