I got this yesterday and it’s wonderful. I’m not looking at numbers and frequency shapes I’m just moving knobs and hearing things. My mixes already sound way better, I’m shocked.
What we need is then when paired with a UF8, when you select a channel on the UF8, it should become focus on the UC1, it would make things even faster.
I use Logic and It does do this. Just need to select the channel link icon in the plug-in window of the channel strip 2 plug-in. I’m sure it’s a similar process in other DAWs.
Everyone is saying the same thing about that....and rightfully so, if this is supposed to mimic a console. Hopefully, SSL will fix that with a software upgrade.
I think what is important about this only controlling the plugins it comes with (making it a very good deal as the plugin almost costs this much) is that it works without fail, controllers controlling many things often falls short on the mass of plugin control. Also, you do really want to not have a bucket load of plugins as your main workhorses. I'm thinking of this, the UF8 as the workhorses and the SoftTube Console 1 for my specialty adjustments. The MidiFighter Twister being there for good measure of a few other things
Yea I’m thinks about having uc1 first in the chain for ssl eq and console 1 second for 1176 and if I need a pultect (not normally afterwards but whatever) I use my console 1 with UAD plugins
To be honest I don't see any benefits using this controller , I can navigate thru my DAW much faster with a mouse. Jumping from channel to channel just to touch a tiny knob... No way I'm paying a $1000 for this toy.
This is exactly what I said Waves should done with the cla hub. Partner with ssl and launch something like this. But it's fine cuz SSL company made it happened and way better
Hey, Kayden! No, you can’t use that as a hardware processor unfortunately. The UC1 is solely a plug-in controller, so the only cabling on the unit it just USB, which sends the control information. I hope this helps! Nick Pasquino, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 3230, nick_pasquino@sweetwater.com
What you could also buy, when in furious shoping fever is to buy a mouse. Nice one, to control that plugin like any other, and save 700 bucks. At least until Avid gives Eucon license to SSL.
looks like a solid competitor to the Softube Console 1. looks amazing. price tag, tho, a bit steep, double the price of the Console 1... is it really TWICE as good?? i may wait until the price drops a little to get this
I bought the Console1 when it first came out for $1,000. This is a good deal. I’m definitely going to get a UC1 after watching this. Console1 is cool, but for my workflow, the UC1 will smoke the Console1.
It would be so nice if SSL could release a “pro” or “deluxe” version of UC1. I love the workflow, layout, plug-in sound, but the built-quality of UC1 gives me migrenes. I must be careful not to sneeze or tap the desk, because the knobs might change values themselves. It happened. I would reaaaaally love a controller with the exact same sturdy feel as the console 💙
I really don’t think will used this plugin across my whole session.. its 2021 we have tons of choice. And yes. I used this channel strip and Bus comp 2 already...
Fantastic except you can find one anywhere in North America at this time. I’ve had one on order since May. SSL needs to get these out to the stores ASAP.
SSL do youself a favor: include a sound card to that piece of hardware, load the digital algorithms found on the plug ins and put it out as a digital programmed hardware similar to a lexicon old unit and you will have half of musicians in the world ordering this stuff. This current product is just a new dirty way to make money.
Exactly what I said. GREAT products, but SSL dropped the ball on that part of it, if they're truly trying to mimic a console. That and, can this unit be mapped to other boutique plugins?
Thanks for the demo. I use it with logic and I can't decide if I should leave all my tracks in logic "untouched" and then get to work with the SSL 360 workflow (Gains- Balance - treatments) then add additional plugins in logic,....Can anyone help me out? Thanks
Hello, Nicolas! The beauty of mixing is that it is an artform. There aren’t many hard and fast rules! I suggest doing all necessary cuts and edits to the audio regions themselves before instantiating plug ins. I typically EQ and compress tracks before doing any kind of modulation or time-based effects like chorus or reverb. But again, that’s not an unbreakable rule. Trust your judgement. At the end of the day, if it sounds good it is good. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
Hey, Tom. Thanks for reaching out! The SSL UC1 does not work with Waves or UA Plug-Ins. This unit requires the SSL 360 Software which only allow first-party SSL Plug-Ins to be loaded within it. I hope this helps, but if you have any other questions feel free to reach out. Thanks and have a great day!

I wish they would do a 48 channel board with motorized knobs and all so you can have banks on the board also for recall, lets go ssl. I have more ideas if you wanna connect with me :)
Thanks Mitch, just got the plugin combo on the 90% off sale and once I heard them and played with 360 some I pulled the trigger immediately… it seems SSL has really nailed it with this system… it’s pretty amazing how much quicker and intuitive you can work and I don’t have the UC1 yet only the UF8 so I’m pretty giddy and can’t wait to have both running…
Hello, Too Tory! You can actually find dimensions of most products on our website. The UC1 is 11.8" wide x 10.5" deep x 2.4" tall. Thanks for the interest! Cody Kraus, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1766, cody_kraus@sweetwater.com
@@officialsimonharris I'm fully aware, I'm also fully aware when a company is ripping customers eyes out over a completely unnecessary bit of kit. SSL logo, coloured knobs, ones and zeros, £800. I love the SSL native plugins they're utterly amazing. Pay £3.50 a month for those and enjoy the extra cash.

As always with your reviews, I now get it. I’m a Luna man and this makes perfect sense listening to this.

It's nice to have printed out plugins.
Dang, I want one of these! From sopping, muggy & sorta mostly kinda locked down Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
Been much the same here mate (Shropshire, UK) I was a chef for years and trained at Ballymaloe, under Darina and Rachael Allen :)

Great review Mitch. Certainly convinced me to make a purchase
Can you use it standalone? Without using the plugins, let’s say I wanted to compress and eq on the way in for a recording?

No dedicated pan knob? That's shocking...
Okay, in the intro I hear SSL plugins. As a Linux only guy, I guess I don't have to watch any further... (AFAIK, Linux is not supported by SSL.)

Ordered mine from L&M 3 weeks ago. Picked it up last Friday

Also motorized fader and call back.
yep. it's like a big "FU, here's our entry into the dedicated controller scam"
@@TheRTM The motorized faders are on the UF8
@@officialsimonharris I’ll check it out.
Check out the hater comments from people that have never mixed on an SSL desk or produced a hit record
From using a very large ssl board in the studio having this at home is amazing
Ll
Are the different channels linked to the track recorded on this channel? So we can do live music with it with each track pre-recorded ?
Thanks 💯😎
No fader? How is that like an SSL desk then?
The best review as always 👍 👍 Now I know I need this UC1 :D
Great! Thanks for the insight!
It’s a bummer that the selecting track on uf8 doesn’t follow over to uc1 .
Exactly what I said. GREAT products, but SSL dropped the ball on that part of it, if they're truly trying to mimic a console. That and, can this unit be mapped to other boutique plugins?
I want a rack mounted controller for just the bus comp 😁

Another glorified mouse
Thanks, Mitch!
WE love you Mitch! Really great stuff x
@@chris-rb7bm I used read EQ Magazine when Mitch was editor!!! Also, shout out to EQ editor and contributor Craig Anderton!
Mitch what is the mic system you re Ewing..and where do I find it at Sweetwater
Thanks for the demo. I use it with logic and I can't decide if I should leave all my tracks in logic "untouched" and then get to work with the SSL 360 workflow (Gains- Balance - treatments) then add additional plugins in logic,....Can anyone help me out? Thanks
Personally, I would just run the UC1 plugin inside logic and then add any other plugins into the chain. Seems simpler to me.

How about the cpu?
Need one in my life
Those leds around the knobs are coarse, ugly and horribly outdated. They should be OLED screen at minimum.

@@sweetwater thank you
Awesomeness
This seems like a much more expensive, and slightly more in depth version of softube console 1.
No you got it round the wrong way, it's slightly more expensive and much more indepth, it's also much faster to use
I was about to get the Console 1, but Logic doesn’t allow some of the basic functions. I’m quite glad, because I’ve since discovered this!
too expensive for what it does
What's so difficult in juts building a WHOLE DAW instead of this pretty software,
I’d imagine it’s coming down the line.
This is a really expensive box.
No it's not
Does the content provider sell it? Yes. Then it's not a genuine review, it's an ad. Save the money, use your mouse.
