In this video, I walk through and demo the new SSL 4Ke channel strip by Solid State Logic.
The 4KE Plug-in lives up to the legend of the 4000E and imparts all the vibe and rich non-linear analogue character of the original console. 4K E Plug-in is a precise emulation, with modelling down to a component level, including the revered E Series EQ in all its flavours (Black, Brown, Orange), and hyper-realistic emulation of the Jensen T-115K-E transformer found on early 4000E mic pres. The dbx 202 Gold Can fader VCA is also painstakingly modelled, offering multiple layers of harmonic saturation found throughout the circuit design.
Released in 1979, the 4000E console played a pivotal role in reshaping the way music was made, it dominated the studio landscape through the ‘80s & ’90s and became the sonic signature of the era's most iconic albums and tracks. Its big, punchy sound, advanced processing tools and ground-breaking flexibility meant it quickly became the tool of choice for the world's top producers, engineers, and studios.

Nice video Dave. I completely agree once SSL came out with their native channel strips it was a game changer. The other makers that I tried always gave me the meh feeling. Once I got their native channel strips and bus compressor, I uninstalled all of the imitators. The integration of the UF8, UC1, UF1 and 360 is a combination that has no rivals at this point. I have Pro Tools in the background, but 360 is where I mix and it soooo much faster and altered my mixing choices. Your Controller Series really helped me see the light.

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 8 ай бұрын

Hey, that's great! The SSL plugins along with all their controllers is a wonderful combination for sure. You need a lot of desk space for that sort of setup but if you do a lot of mixing, its worth it

That’s exactly what I’m doing, I also have an Apollo 8x so really like the api sound working in Luna, however the ssl surfaces are not aligned as well with API strips and plugins.There are so many good tools available to us today, it’s very hard to chose

Dave I love you. Recieved the Neuman ndh30"s today and I am so glad I took your advice. My mind is blown they are awesome. I tried sound id on them but like you said there is really no need for it. 50% mix did balanced them out just a hear better but i decided not to do put it on because of several reasons. These headphones will be awesome for the times I dont have acces to my speakers or when I have to mix in a space that i dont know. thanks again buddy

From one KZfaq to another I respect what you do on both your channels. Normally people with gear trash plugins. You keep it all the way 100. If someone think the gear sounds better that’s fine because everyone has their own opinion. I respect you because you don’t destroy the plug-in to praise the gear and you give highlights of what the plug-in excels at

hi I saw that to adjust the general volume in the Ssl 4000 you do it from the OUTPUT TRIM. If you lower the volume from the Fader is it the same thing? Thank you

Hey Dave! I have the 4K B and the Regular Channel strip, since the come With UC1. Do you think its worth it to buy this one as well? Having one more clean and one more vintage works great, what would you say is the selling point of also getting this one in addition to the other two? Thanks!

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 7 ай бұрын

all these channel strips sound a little different. Do you "need" them all? NO. Is it worth buying the 4KE to add to the collection? I think so but again, if you have the other 2 then your only getting a subtle difference with the new one.

Hi Dave, I’m interested in building or purchasing a vocal booth, but I’m confused on a couple things I’m hoping you can clarify. I will be the singer and the recording engineer in the following scenarios. If I’m in the booth, how would I control the start, stop, volume, monitoring plugins, etc. if all the equipment is outside of the booth? Also, how would I connect anything from inside the booth to the recording desk, it seems like it would be too far for certain cables to reach, like headphones. Thanks for any insight, your videos are the best!

@HomeRecordingMadeEasy 8 ай бұрын

Depending on your DAW, use their IPAD app to control the dAW from another room.

Cool plugin. I stopped with subscriptions. I just don't mix enough. If I like a plugin enough, I wait for sales and buy it. I have been very partial to Plugin Alliance's stuff. I love the API emulations. The DAW you are using, is that Luna? What happened to Studio One?

Fair enough. I am switching to Luna for a while to change things up. I have been on S1 for 12 years and need a change
