  • What is it that gives the SSL sound that special character? Is it the ‘gluey’ mix busses? The musical EQs? The stellar channel compressors? Is it possible to capture the soul of an SSL console and put it in a plugin? Go behind the scenes as Waves' Senior Product Manager, Mike Fradis, takes us through the journey of recreating the incredible SSL sound. Learn more: www.waves.com/ssl

    Increasing, after years of using/tweaking with this, I'm finally getting an understanding of just how special this series really is. Have never been blessed enough to actually work a real SSL board... I can only imagine how glorious such is.
    For now, I'm enjoying learning/growing even more, with these plugins, everyday.

    So many people have these plugins. Why not make a dedicated hardware controller for the ssl channel plugin? It could be a tabletop box that looks just like the plugin, able to control any instance of the waves ssl channel that is clicked on. I bet it would sell really well and simultaneously boost the sales of the plugin itself.

      not ergonomic for mouse operating but a table top controller it would probably be my go to EQ /Strip

    This is such an awesome plug. Just putting it on adds a little something and the many presets have awesome starting points. I think the best thing to do is open one track, like a snare, then open a preset, then just run through all the "Banks" of knobs to hear the subtle differences. One last thing, these two dudes could be twins!

  • @Frazer777

    I've got these plug-ins. All I can say is the presets - especially those by CLA - have really helped my mixes. Whether or not all those sounds can be replicated with any plug-in I don't know but on the preset score alone these plug-ins are a great addition to your library. And what the guy says about pushing the desk to the limit is absolutely true: the more drastic you are with these plug-ins the more you hear not just the EQ per se but the plug-in itself. All in all they're worth having. Any mechanic will tell you you can never have enough spanners or screwdrivers :)

    Maybe enough requests and they'll do it .

    since i started using the SSL's Duende bundle I hardly ever use the waves anymore, but that's not to say one is better than the other. I just like the GUI's ease of use on the eyes n routing of the duende. between them both they're different in sound.

    • @MeltdownDJ
      @MeltdownDJ 7 років тому +3

    • @demodeiowa
      @demodeiowa 7 років тому

      thanks i have both the Glue and slate's VBC but given that i just recently ordered the SSL analog Gbus compressor i'll be resorting to that for my master bus n use the plugin versions for group bus compression (i.e. Drum groups) i like the glue for more clean processing n the slate for a bit of more color .
