The new autoSeries includes autoEQ, autoDYN, and autoBUS, enabling users to access powerful, adaptive profile-based features while focusing on creativity
The new plugins combine SSL’s best-in-class 4000 E modeling with sonible’s cutting-edge, AI-assisted audio analysis. The trio of new plug-ins, which include autoEQ, autoDYN, and autoBUS, are the only official SSL 4000 Series plug-ins on the market that leverage the power of sonible’s market-leading AI assistive capabilities.
The autoSeries plug-ins are available now, with individual perpetual licenses at a special introductory price of $49/ £39 / €49 each excluding local taxes through to Jan 26th 2026 *. They are also available as part of the Complete Access subscription.
The autoSeries of plug-ins features native AI-assisted analysis, helping users create and adapt processing relative to their source material. Each AI-assisted plug-in analyses the user’s audio’s spectral and dynamic characteristics, suggests adaptive profiles with style-matched settings, and instantly delivers fully editable processing. As a result, users can begin their journey into music production with learn‑as‑you‑mix guidance, and professionals can apply their own personalised touch faster. The net result for every user is more time in the creative zone.
“SSL has always strived to create recording and production tools that allow our customers to expand their abilities and focus on their creation” comments Enrique Perez, SSL GM/CTO. “This new partnership with sonible builds in their powerful AI audio analysis engine to complement our classic SSL processing, giving our customers more freedom to do exactly that.” Alex Wankhammer, sonible CMO, adds “sonible has been at the forefront of AI-assisted audio processing for over a decade, and this initial partnership with SSL showcases how new machine learning tools can combine with traditional processing techniques to offer users something very unique”.
