Really like your laid back style. Refreshingly honest and no time wasted. Great job thanks! Subscribed.

Thanks for your great review time for us here. The best comparison to see and find the correct plugins. I like the Native one, and in money value i would go with wave in a good discount sales now. Thanks again for your great revisions

Had a failure with my RME F800 the other day and i bought the SSL 2+ till i get back the unit from service and i've installed the Native Plugins and i'm blown away big time.They've done an excellent job ...its their products after all .Great video mate

Great comparison. I've recently tried the CLA Mix Hub and I prefer it as it has added features that makes it even better.

Thank you for this fantastic video. I came across this when thinking about whether I should buy the SSL native plugin. I have the UA and Waves SSL. As a mixer, you can't just think about your own opionion you also have to cater for the artist and the listener depending on the genre. A lot of comments seem to be triggered by brand preference. I think they all sound good in their own way. Personally, I like warmth and I feel the SSL native gives this mix warmth. And for this genre of music its spot on. Thanks again 👍🏾

Great comparison. For me the SSL is Smooth (as you said). But I was feeling it also added glue to the mix overall, everything seemed to sit better together with the SSL Native. Currently on a 6 month demo of all SSL Native plugins, which I got free with the purchase of my SSL 2. I love the Channel Strip, Vocal Strip, Drum Strip, Bus Comp and Flex Verb, I can see myself having to spend some money to own them in the near future.

I bought the CLA Mixhub as I was on the fence so long I gave up and went for it.Good video again Dave I enjoyed it.

I felt the UAD warmer and fuller but SSL I think is the very best! Thanks a lot for your video and effort, greetings from Germany

I can hear the top of the kick more with the UAD version which helps my ears find it, the SSL Native buries the kick and rounds off the top end, feel like you could push the high shelf even further with the Native version. The Waves is a mix of the two, has that tinnie sound of the UAD one but a rounder low end. All are cool though

SSL is my fave.

Sensational comparison... which basically reaffirmed my choice of the Waves ones... and yes, price is an issue. KZfaq/streaming compression notwithstanding, I listened on my near-fields and I could definitely hear what you were hearing so it's probably the closest I've heard to what my own stuff would sound like that I've heard. Totally subscribed and belled :-)

Thank you for taking time to create and share this video. Of the three, I prefer the SSL Native; it just sounds so musical with warmth and depth with more defined lows and a very smooth top end; and it just glues the mix. The Waves would be my second choice; the top end isn’t as smooth but still has a bit more depth than the UAD. I didn’t care for the UAD, as the top end was rather bright and more importantly, to my ears, the UAD seemed to a bit wider but slightly less glue and it also seemed to flatten overall sound; bringing the more of the upper mids and highs to the forefront, less depth. Based on this video, I just purchased the SSL Native Channel Strip v2 and the Native Bus Compressor v2 and I couldn't be more pleased. The SSL Native sound is music to my ears.

Did anyone else notice that the Brown EQ is active on the UAD one and the other 2 was the Black EQ? I own all 3 (plus the CLA mixhub) I like the UAD one best , especially because it has the mic pre option and I consider this a secret weapon and use it a lot. Great video 👋🏻

You can switch between E and G with UAD, not sure about waves on the older one but I think you can with the new one. The SSL native channel strip is actually a 9000j series control strip while uad and waves are based off the 4000. I believe the latest waves channel is the 9000 as well.
