With the Waves SSL 4000 Collection, the classic SSL 4000 sound can now be yours. plug-ins missing from the collection are the new SSL 4000 series emulations, which is a shame.) Many, but not all, of the plug-ins are compatible with the APA hardware accelerators offered by Waves. Of all these consoles, the SSL 4000 may be the most famous. SSL’s reputation for hit-making sound is unsurpassed, having been used on hit recordings by Beyoncé, Bruce Springsteen, Taylor Swift, Madonna, the Rolling Stones, Sia and hundreds of others. in 1969, Solid State Logic currently has over 3,000 SSL consoles in active use around the world. With the EQ and dynamics of the vintage SSL mixers at your fingertips, you can now give your mixes the SSL sound of the big studios.įounded in the U.K. These plugins sound so close to the original consoles, even experts who work with SSL boards day in and day out can’t tell the difference.

The best leaks.Developed under license from Solid State Logic, the SSL 4000 Collection includes four plugins meticulously modeled on the legendary SSL 4000 mixing consoles: SSL E-Channel, G-Channel, G-Equalizer and G-Master Buss Compressor. Ok friends, chime in with your evidence to the contrary, your rumors, your leaks. There's opportunity here for Waves to make a mark, and I believe they will capitalize on that opportunity. They clearly still care deeply about being among the best, and if they want to continue to hold a presence in the DSP market-and not just in VIs-they'll have to continue to push the envelope. Although their recent focus has been on instruments, even in their most recent releases (a lot of VIs, but also the expanding Abby Road Series, the new Brauer Motion, etc.) one can appreciate the strong sense of pride the company takes in the pedigree of their models and the depth to which they develop plugins for the ultimate user experience in both sound and usability. This isn't to start a pissing contest about which one sounds better, and I and many would still agree that workflow/GUI-wise Waves is still right up there with the best (if not THE best), but the simple truth is that the 4000 collection is old, and it sounds old.ģ. The likes of UAD, OvertoneDSP, Slate, and now Brainworx have released competitive products that, in terms of sound, are superior. In the recent couple of years the hardware modeling market has made massive leaps in sound and tech, and also become flooded with competition. Furthermore, a cash grab on the E-Channel might suggest a forthcoming product with a pricing structure that will encourage current owners to upgrade/crossgrade.Ģ. To me this reeks of an end to whatever agreement Waves had with SSL which barred the company from offering it at discount. The Waves SSL 4000 Collection has in the recent couple of years finally begun to drop in price, be included in Waves' sales, and most recently the E-Channel was offered at a staggeringly low $29.
This might be the Waves SSL 9000 Collection.

#WAVES SSL 4000 COLLECTION TDM UPDATE#
It's been 'about time' for Waves to update some of their plugins developed a decade (or more) ago, but I feel this particular product is ripe for either an upgrade (i.e. I reckon there are a few factors pointing to an (imminent) upgrade to the Waves SSL 4000 Collection that so many love and use every day, myself included. Developed under license from Solid State Logic, the SSL 4000 Collection includes four meticulously modeled plugins based on the legendary SSL 4000 Series: the SSL E-Channel, the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor, the SSL G-Equalizer and the G-Channel.
