Key Features:
Developed under license from Solid State Logic, the SSL 4000
Collection from Waves includes three plug-ins based on individual
sections of the legendary SSL 4000 Series consoles and include the SSL
E-Channel, the SSL G-Master Buss Compressor and the SSL G-Equalizer.
Waves has meticulously modeled the distinctive sonic characteristics of SL
4000 factory reference consoles and components provided by Solid State Logic and
offer them as plug-ins for Digidesign Pro Tools systems running under Mac OS X
and Windows XP.
SSL G-Master Buss Compressor
- Based on the renowned master buss center compressor of the
SL 4000 G console, the original compressor has long been prized by top
engineers for its ability to "glue together" tracks and is considered by many
to be the ultimate finalizer that transforms a mix into a finished record.
- Also ideal for taming piano dynamics or adding punch to
drums and percussion.
- Controls include Threshold, Make Up Gain, Attack and
Release, Ratio, Rate-S (sets the Autofade duration,) Analog (modeling mode)
and In.
SSL G-Equalizer
- Modeled on the SSL G Series EQ292, the four-band equalizer
offers greater gain change than the E-Series EQ and possess a slightly
different curve.
- Includes a slight dip before a boost as well as a slight
rise before a cut, which contribute to its sound, while its broader Q allows
for more extreme equalization.
- Controls include High Pass Filter, Low EQ, Low Medium EQ,
High Medium EQ, High EQ, EQ In, Phase Reverse, Master Output and Trim.
SSL E-Channel
- The SSL E-Channel delivers the characteristic sound of the
original's all-discrete design and its Class A, VCA chip.
- The equalization section is based on the renowned Black
Knob equalizer, developed in 1983 by SSL in association with producer George
Martin. The Black Knob equalizer featured enhanced cut and boost ranges and a
steeper 18dB/octave high pass filter for tighter control of low frequencies as
well as a smoother curve.
- Features a High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter and a
four-band parametric equalizer. The Split feature allows for positioning the
Low Pass and/or High Pass filters before the dynamics processors and puts the
filters in a dynamics sidechain for simple de-essing.
- The dynamics section features a soft-knee
compressor/limiter and an expander/gate modeled on the SSL LS611E. Like the
original, it can be placed before or after the equalization section and makeup
gain is automatically applied to maintain a steady output level.
- The compressor's adjustable attack provides a choice
between the default auto-sensing function which responds to the source
material or a fixed 1 mSec attack time.
