< still a fan of your channel, jep I hear immediately the saturation of the 4000E series, I used it yesterday on a Kick-drum and the snare, will buy the SSL EV2 of course too, but I noticed SSL brought out a new native SSL 9000 K series themselves, I'm in love with the 9000J, but it's too fat for certain genres. But if you have a poor drum, put it in your drum-buss and crank up the low and highs and it won't disappoint you. That being said, it's unbelievable that you can own every SSL on a small computer. PS, hows the latency from this plugin? I cannot use it right now, because old iMacs are obsolete and unusable with Wave plugs, and I own quiet a bit, never activated. But working on a PC workstation, to get rid of the mac.

Hey Glenn, I really like how this mix sounds. I've been following your channel for a couple of years now but this is the first time you lost me. "We're mastering with the UltraMaximizer"????

When Glenn was soloing the kick, my wife came into the room and heard it. She does not know anything about recording, mixing or mastering. She said "What is that sound"? I said, it is supposed to be a drum. She responded with, "I don't like it. It sounds bad and it makes me angry". I did not like the kick either. It was pretty plastic sounding while soloed, but somehow, in the context of the mix, it seems to work.

I bought the SSL Native channel strip and bus compressor plugins a while ago on sale. I'm not very experienced and find it a little confusing when a company has a ton of different plugins that all seem to be pretty similar. So my question is, why would you buy this if you already have another SSL channel strip plugin? Are they just slightly different flavours (due to modelling different hardware)? I'd imagine for someone like me who just needs some basic tools, it's probably better to just have one and don't bother buying a bunch of similar plugins? I doubt I'd notice much of a difference between this and the one I already have.

@ScottChesworth 2 жыл бұрын

Slightly different flavours pretty much covers it, yep. Whenever Waves are involved, keep the emphasis on “slightly”. Using what you’ve got until you can reliably hear what’s not quite cooking is a good strategy man. Demo stuff if you get curious, but if you aren’t hearing a clear improvement, then you either don’t need it just yet, or you might not need it period. Hope that helps a bit. :)

Hi Glenn! As a self taught musician that's looking to learning about drums and I have know way to ask without painting my back with a noob sign lol. To try and learn I got the MT power drum plugin at first, but it sounded so uninspiring I had to look at getting samples. I saw your suggestion on the Steven Slate stuff and luckily for my negative budget needs there's a free version! My question is how do I segment out the mic'd parts out? For example when I started messing with the MT kit it's going out to a single track with the midi beats laid out for the whole kit, and sure I can send to other tracks, but it's still the whole kit. Outside of contacting a real drummer, how do I get each track to receive just toms, kick, snare, cymbals, etc. so I can apply more of your teachings to learn more? Sorry if my question is confusing, but thanks anyways!

Nothing is going to be up to the UA stuff, because Waves nor many of the other "native CPU" plugins are going to be using any circuitry, tube, transformer modelling or emulation... as that takes tons of R&D, loaded code, memory, and processing power. Which, in a nutshell, is why the UA stuff is all loaded onto their proprietary boards, and not your CPU. I've been building my UA library since 2014, and now up to three OCTO boards filling all my PCI-E slots... it's crazy on huge mixes when you have 70+ UA plugins loaded... that would kill a single CPU.

And what will happen if that SSL strip you work with doesn't sound like the plugin, and every other one you try doesn't sound anything like any of the plugins? Existential Crisis? Or me just laughing my ass off at all the keyboard warriors out there?

The tune you used today is AMAZING! Not your early 2000s tuneless garbage by a long shot. Kinda made my morning! Thank you! 🙂

Nicely recorded tracks. That being said, would you not get a very "similar" mix with another SSL channel strip?

Or none at all. Stock plugins.

@@morbidmanmusic Yes I use Cubase Pro Stock plugins always, they are fantastic, and I always get the sound I am looking for and they don't tax my CPU but, sometimes I want to add some crappy $39 noise to a track no one is really going to pay attention to anyway. Stock Plugin's are so under rated.

How much more CPU and ram would using one of these compared to the built in reaper 1073 eq? Like if I had ten running on a project it would really start to add up?

Gleeennnn, would this plug in be good for someone who's using things like Rhino, Mammoth, and Superior Drummer? Would this be overkill with all the features they come with or could this be a helpful shape to the sound?

Yes. It’s SSL. Use it for EQ

From one anonymous guy on the internet, I found getting one REALLY helped. The lowest setting on my Presonus 1824 was still a touch too loud for me. I wound up getting the Big Knob Passive to be able to get the volume a little lower so I don't get ear fatigue nearly as fast as I did before.
