Developed under license from Solid State Logic, the Waves SSL 4000 Native Plug-in Collection includes four plugin models taken from SSL's legendary 4000 series consoles: The E-channel, The G-Master Buss Compressor, The G-equalizer and the all new G-Channel.
Product Ref: 38287
These plugins have been so meticulously crafted that even experts who work with these incredible boards every day cannot even tell the difference! The power of the complete Solid State Logic SL 4000 console series is now at your fingertips.
Developed under license from Slid State Logic, the G-Channel is a full channel strip delivering an EQ module that replicates the original hardware's characteristic pre-boost dip, pre-cut rise and broad Q for extreme frequency manipulation. The Dynamics section features soft-knee compression and limiting, a gate/expander, and automatic makeup gain for rock steady output levels. Together, with their convenient routing flexibility and a one-of-a-kind sound, the SSL G-Series console a control room classic.
Modelled on the acclaimed master buss center compressor of the SSL 4000 G console, the Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor captures the unique sound of the original's IC input and twin VCA gain-reduction amplifier design.
The G-Buss compressors ability to 'glue together' tracks means this is a prized tool by top engineers the world over. It is the ideal solution for taming piano dynamics or adding punch to drums and percussion.
Now, the ultimate finalizer that transforms a mix into a finished record can be yours - in the box.
This four-band equalizer, modeled on the SSL G Series EQ292, offers greater gain change than the E-Series EQ, and a slightly different curve. The SSL G-Equalizer includes a pre-boost dip and a pre-cut rise, as well as a broader Q for more extreme equalization. That's why many leading engineers use the E-Channel's equalization for detailed problem-solving and mixing, and the G-Equalizer to shape and give character to the sound.
The SSL E-Channel is a slice of the worlds greatest hitmaking machine in your computer. It delivers the incomparable sound of the Solid State Logic 4000-series console's all-discrete design and its Class A, VCA chip.
Developed in 1983 with legendary producer George Martin, The equalization section of the SSL E-Channel is based on the renowned Black Knob equalizer. It features a High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter, and a four-band parametric equalizer.
The dynamics section can be placed before or after the equalization section, just like the original and features a soft-knee compressor/limiter and an expander/gate modeled on the SSL LS611E.
