Key Features:
Waves takes it's audio hardware modeling very serious, as do the
professionals who utilize their plug-ins. Knowing how sound engineers strive to
capture every subtle nuance of the song they are recording, the Waves developers
went the extra mile with the Studio Classics Collection to make sure they've
meticulously recreated the key components and circuit schematics of their
hardware inspirations so that its virtual replications behave just like the real
deal.
The Studio Classics Collection encapsulates the character of the
most respected recording consoles in the world - the consoles that made music
history. Now your DAW can have that big budget sound with Waves' Studio Classics
Collection which bundles the SSL 4000 Collection, V-Series, and the API
Collection.
SSL 4000 Collection
Founded in 1969 in the UK, Solid State Logic currently has
over 3,000 SSL systems in active use around the world. SSL’s reputation for
hit-making sound is unsurpassed, having been used on number one records by
artists such as Sting, Whitney Houston, Blur, Phil Collins, and hundreds of
others.
Of all these consoles, the Solid State Logic SL4000 is
perhaps the most famous, having literally defined the music of the ‘80s and
beyond. The SL4000 was the first widely adopted board with Total Recall
automation. In 1981, the SSL4000 even received the Queen's Award for Export
Achievement.
V-Series
In the 1970s, engineers knew that there was nothing quite
like the sound of the 1066, 1073, 1081, and 2254, heard on so many monster hits
of that celebrated era. Modules like the 1073 and the 1081 were studio
mainstays, and were considered indispensible tools for top 40 singles and those
epic albums of the classic rock heyday.
Each especially suited for a particular recording, mixing,
or mastering task, these four units represented the state of the art in their
time, and engineers have sought to recreate that sound ever since.
The API Collection
From its beginnings in 1968, the API sound quickly became
the favorite of recording and broadcast engineers. There are currently over 700
API consoles around the world, including the three major U.S. television
networks. Over thirty years later, many of these consoles are still in daily use
in some of the most prestigious recording and broadcast facilities in the
world.
The API 550A, 550B, and 560 equalizers are the go-to units
for many classic contemporary hits from artists as wide-ranging as Heart, Avril
LaVigne, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
