SSL autoDYN is a dynamics plugin from Solid State Logic that models the compressor/limiter and gate/expander of the SSL 4K E channel strip, paired with sonible's AI-assisted audio analysis for profile-based starting settings.
SSL autoDYN is part of the autoSeries alongside autoEQ and autoBUS. It applies the processing of the SSL 4000 E Series console to your tracks, while an analysis engine from sonible detects the source and suggests compressor and gate settings. Each suggestion stays editable, so you can accept it, refine it or override it. The plugin is aimed at producers who want fast, consistent dynamics setup and a console-style sound without starting from a blank page.
autoDYN uses two controls to shape its starting point. Profile tells the AI what kind of source it is processing, such as kick, snare, vocal, bass or guitars. Style sets the character of the processing as Strong, Medium or Soft.
Unlike a preset with fixed parameters, a profile adapts to your input. Because the result is an editable starting point, you can keep the analysis-based setup or change it to suit the mix.
The plugin shows contextual, visible changes that explain where and why an adjustment works. Developer Solid State Logic presents this as guidance for newer producers, and it can be switched off as users gain experience.
The autoSeries design is meant to keep the workflow consistent across autoDYN, autoEQ and autoBUS.
