I'm not going to debate how much it sounds like the real console I like it's sound. I do use the compressor a lot as well, especially on busses, and on the 2-track when mastering. I still use my RenEQ for some precision work and adding air above 16k. I have to admit, the SSL EQ plug has become one of my favorites. It doesn't work for everything but I do like what I'm hearing when I use it.

Especially on full mixes where every instance has a little of the effect going on. But I have been trying and experimenting with this little "trick" and I do hear it. I am not a Waves fan nor do I particularly like most of their plugs. Apply it on every track of a whole mix and see if you hear what it's doing. Meaning that you won't hear it as much as if you treat every or most every track in the mix the same way. I don't know.One vocal track? Any type of "saturation" is this case is an accumulative effect and it's subtle. I thought there was so just for fun, I reversed polarity on one and unmuted them both.silence, then wait, I could barely and I mean barely hear one of them. I A/B'd them, switching between the two and struggled to hear a difference. I just tried what was in the video and basically took a vocal track, duplicated it, and tried to compensat the trim plug for the output on the 1. The trick with the Waves SSL channel plugs is to turn the Output fader up all the way (into the "red").then add a trim plug to turn the volume back down as the "saturation" in the SSL plugs comes from the output fader, not the input knob. that's where i found the magic with the ssl plugs good luck with it. turn it +3/6db on a snare make your futher sound then conpensate with the fader as you lower it by 3/6db. turn it up as you drive the console and adjust the level with the fader. the trick in the plug is the input gain knob.
as per the fader use it to adjust the plug only not the channel. it's quite puchny so you can use on drums (recomend) vocals anything. you hear thru it, work you recordings thru it but the sound it's not recording with it. When you record you won't record the sound as it went thru the plug cuz it's just a plug on the insert point of the chain. You'll try other plugs after a while to "hear" what they do and shake your head as you can't make them "sound" like the SSL's. You'll appreciate them more as you use them. I'm surprised you bought them without knowing what they do but it's cool, sometimes you just have to dive in to hear how something works. I have an excellent front end though so the plugs are just polishing an already great recording.īefore I had those plugs I would run a HPF, a compressor, an EQ, then another compressor on each channel which could become cumbersome. I find the "sound" of the plug's compression pushes vox a little more out front in a mix. I definitely use the HPF and gate on every instance. Sometimes it's only a HPF/LPF, other times, it's compressing and EQ'n. Would inserting them on every track be a good idea? Thanks in advance and please dont flame i know this question isnt that advanced.I use the E Channel on almost every channel of every mix I do. But my question is how the hell do I use them? And why are they so good? I understand there is a wide range of uses for them but how could I benefit the most from them.

I always hear people talking about that "SSL sound" and now i can essentially achieve getting that sound or close to it by slapping the channel strip on all my tracks in pro tools. I just recently purchased the Waves SSL 4000 collection. When I record, should I insert the SSL channel before and WHILE i record, or only after I record when I mix?When you record you won't record the sound as it went thru the plug cuz it's just a plug on the insert point of the chain. What do you think about using it on vocals? Also i noticed Ssl channel has its own fader, when I want to lower or raise volume of my track should I use the pro tools fader or the SSL fader?
