Waves ssl 4000 e channel.
Waves ssl e channel review.
Included with the software is a pdf manual that explains each of the plug ins in a clear and well written format.
The ssl e channel the ssl g master buss compressor and the ssl g equalizer.
This plug in below is a treat for all those ssl fans who can t afford to buy the real thing or who want to mix in the box and have the ssl sound that has become so popular in certain circles.
The waves ssl e channel is my constant mix companion the best channel strip plugin for me.
Most of the seasoned ssl 4k users didn t care for the g channel eq mainly for the lack of bells on hf and lf and had the black eq s retrofitted into their g and g consoles.
The waves ssl 4000 collection includes three modeled plug ins.
Since then many others have also set out to duplicate the analog magic of the 4000 but these waves plug ins remain one of the most respected and most.
I didn t have any trouble at all installing the plug in and the whole process only took a few minutes.
I say it is the most important because the ssl sound is the most famous sound of modern music from mixing boards.
Quite a while back waves introduced a set of plug ins emulating the ssl 4000 including complete e and g series channel strips a separate g series eq and the g master buss compressor.
A number of years ago we ran audio through 3 different versions of the ssl 4000 e series eq and compressor channel strips.
The 3 versions we used were the waves audio emulation uad emulation and the solid state logic ssl x rack module.
Uad has their own version of the e series channel but that requires a uad 2 card.
Interesting enough the waves ssl g channel doesn t feature the updated g dynamics it has the same dynamics of the e channel.
Also included is an article from the legendary engineer bob katz on mastering.
So without going into more details the e.
The waves ssl e series channel strip is probably the most important effects plug in released in native or tdm format.
A couple of weeks ago i was one of the lucky folks that caught this baby being sold separate from the bundle of plugins it s normally included in and it was a great find let me tell you.
The plug in is really a few in one as it has sections for both compression and eq.
It gives me the vintage e curve with the saturation that makes it so musical.
Ssl e channel is a software emulation of an solid state logic console channel strip.
