I own the SSL12 and the sound is so clean without being sterile, the ADAT ability and seperate mixes and very flexible software packages really sold it for me though, allowing me to send seperate headphone mixes was a must for recording with others, and this interface allows that with perfect workflow! I definetly will be picking up a preamp for that ADAT
Thanks for this. Earlier today (before watching this) I ordered an SSL 12, after carefully looking at the UA 476P (and everything else on Sweetwater Sound [US]). I liked the per- input 48v and high-pass across the top, with fairly granular signal meters in-line, and that 32-bit should be more valuable than than the UA compression. ADAT was also a big plus. These were super helpful reviews.
I had both. The SSL is dope you can add more channels to it via adat and can use the talkback mic in the recording like a room mic. The volt is cool but the volume for the monitoring is kinda iffy. Both are dope interfaces depending on what you need them for input wise.
Thank you for this video. I was waiting for this comparison. Lovely video
Great comparison - thank you for this work. I think it’s such a great time to be a musician or recording engineer… so many great gear choices at such affordable prices. It’s hard to go wrong with even a little research and thought. I’m personally looking to finally upgrade my Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 2nd gen interface to one of these, and I’m happy knowing either choice would serve me really well for years and years to come. I’m also pondering the UA Apollo Solo, since it’s around the same price point. Thanks again for such a great video and work done here!
32bit as great, but sharing files with band mates is - yah, they all use 24bit 96khz - so it becomes a sample mess. With the standards all over the place, & a ton of added gimmicks, I'm sticking with the "lower standards " for now. I hope all the units make it to 32bit. Most everything over 96khz is overkill anyway, so along as they atleast go to 96khz. Great video, thanks for sharing.
Great review! The SSL is the clear winner, but I use an Apollo x4 and UAD plugins in Console. The x4 addresses the 476P short-comings. Independent headphone cues, 3 output pairs, ADAT ins/out, 48v per channel, etc. I use a MOTU 8 pre with the Apollo x4 for 12 inputs in total. I’d like to know more about the SSL software versus the UA Console, which I use for everything. Loopback, virtual channels, system & DAW audio mixing for video, classic Chanel strips, compressors, eq, etc.
SSL has the PureDrive preamps now to connect to that ADAT port. Audient has a few mic preamps too for adding extra ADAT channels with some colour.
The "upgrade path" point is an excellent one! And SSL does make outboard banks of pres for ADAT expansion with the PureDrive Quad and Octo - also at 32bit! 😊
I would never record with the 4k button activated, however its super useful when I have video calls or similar settings - where I won't do post production on my voice and just want to have a little more presence and clarity in my speaking voice :)
Vintage preamp on the UA sounds awesome by itself but I would keep the SSL as well.
SSL-12 (4 channels) connected via ADAT to the SSL Puredrive Octo (with 8 channels) gives you a total of 12 preamps/channels! 🎉
Apollo X4 seems your taste.
I've also seen comments about the SSL 12 having too much gain to record louder sources. Was wondering your thoughts on that as well. Thanks for the comparison video, it's helpful.
The volt sounds like an orange product to me and also the compressor adds way too much noise and overall some love it but I don't like that volt 276 much prefer ssl 2 or Apollo Twin
I would bake it
This is annoying. The Volt sounds better to me, but the layout of the SSL works so much better for me.
