The list price for SSSR is not trivial it’s $250 USD ($150 introductory price at the time this is being written). Authorization is done via an IKM online facility that requires no dongle offline authorization is also supported. It is 64-bit only and is available for both PC and Mac in formats compatible with all current mainstream DAWs. SSSR is part of the IKM T-Racks collection. If it weren’t for the sign reading Sunset Sound, you would likely assume the building fulfilled a mundane business purpose … and, would you ever be wrong! For nearly 60 years, it has been the place where some of the most noteworthy albums in the history of rock music have originated. (pictured above, courtesy google maps street view, at a location that’s a considerable distance from the famed Sunset Strip). Sunset Sound occupies a non-descript building on Sunset Blvd. The artists who have recorded there and productions that have been created there routinely have words like “iconic” and “legendary” associated with them. Sunset Sound Studio is a Los Angeles institution. Specifically, IKM, which has much experience and expertise in crafting digital equivalents of real-world analog gear, includes modelling of the consoles as well as simply supplying something that allows the mixing engineer to place their mix in a simulated space. But IKM’s stated goal in creating SSSR was to capture the essential characteristics of a renowned recording studio in a way that not only duplicates the room sounds, but also incorporates the totality of the recording chain. Yes, it does conventional reverb processing and does it quite well.
On the other hand, SSSR does something that transcends the normal role of the reverb plug-in. Also, the typical reverb plug-in, at least most algorithmic reverbs but also the occasional convolution reverb, allow configuration that includes independent early and late refection characteristics.
The typical reverb plug-in has a range of space sizes going up to concert hall, cathedral, canyon and beyond. IK Multimedia’s Sunset Sound Studio Reverb (hereafter, SSSR) is both less than your typical reverb plug-in and, at the same time, more than your typical reverb plug-in.
It’s more like a studio-in-a-box plug-in, and a renowned studio at that. Sunset Sound Studio Reverb isn’t your ordinary reverb plug-in.
