I agree fully with the remark "there is something to be said about not having any visual ques". In this day we are all so used to meters guiding every step that many of us have learned to rely on it. Plus it is really fun and educational just to turn knobs and acquaint ones self with the subtleties.
Thanks for the very honest review. You are the first person I have come across who does not oversell boutique plugins but puts it in perspective for beginners and amateurs. Another thumbs up on the tip on learning to use the stock plugins first. I think it applies even to instruments we play wherein we get so caught up with G.A.S. that we forget to work on our fundamentals. Look forward to more reviews on the Waves plugins if you are using any. They are on an 80% sale right now :) Cheers Sam
"Which one should you use? Don't ask questions like that." Hahaha best answer! Use your ears. Great review. Light years ahead of the one released by Waves.
I just downloaded the entire bundle and ran a cursory mix on a song of just the drums, bass and a couple rhythm guitar parts...used just the artist presets for each instrument. And omg. It sounds amazing.
wow this is amazing..ive had this bundle sitting but i didnt mix too much.but now that im all about learning more and more about mixing,this clip just slapped me in the face.thnx Graham!
You don't get to many detail reviews like the one you gave, I really appreciate you for that... I've been a musician for several years and now that I'm really serious about my music, I have become more aware of a good mix. Once again I truly appreciate your intake on this... I do believe the reason why pick like plugins outside of the stock version is because the ease of use... I for one have no idea how to properly operate the parametic eq that come in most daw, however I will be learning soon, but like I said early I believe people use the plugins because of the ease of use...
Waves Just had this sale for this at $389.99 compared to $749.99. I picked it up at the sale price and im very happy i did. This plugin is crazy enough in default but When routed like graham does it sounds even better!! Awesome video n awesome plugin
RIALAS $99 with 50% off sale on all waves plugins. BTW, the age of the plugin does not factor in the price. Price is based on the demand/popularity of plugin. Not based on the age of the plugin. SSL 4000 G & E consoles are decades old. But still remain in high demand/use for those who still use a console
Yup this will be my main EQ on all tracks after surgical EQ'ing. Nice review man! Thanks for sharing the option about hitting dynamics first. I would have assumed the same thing.
Nice review! I love this plugin. It reminds me of when I was coming up as a live sound engineer. I loved the Soundcrafts and the brittish eq sound Vs the Yamaha 3000 and then the 4000 series consoles. I love the analog feel of this plugin set.
graham this is the best vid ive seen on the waves ssl- i realize ive been using it incorrectly for a year. thanks for the tip because i always eq before compression. didnt realize why i wasnt getting the results thx bro!
Thanks for giving us a good roundup man. Although I am just an amateur composer, and have been this on and off (mostly off) for many years, I find it helpful to have different plugins that can bring some color into the mix, creatively speaking. I completely agreed with your notions though, and like you say I think people need to know that plugins wont automatically improve what they are doing. I remember messing around with compressors for a LONG time before I even started to get a grip on what they actually did, and to be honest I still have a lot more to learn. Anyways, as the bundle is down to 300 bucks right now I think I'll go get them. Cheers!
SSL Bundle got on sale...but it's worth the dough no matter what. Just running it I get an instant ability to fix drum & other issues, even if it's my own VDRUM trax I thru down, it cleans up things overlooked slamming a groove down while it was fresh, allowing it to be used. The bundle with both strips, the EQ & comps seperate are so handy & add huge value & function. If u r messing around w/Cubase Pro or Logic whatev even with the improved native strips the difference is super huge imo. Puigchild660/670 are also great...Waves almost always gives out a bonus plug or 2 but this bundle now with the CL presets helps you get the handle on it as well as OH, snare, Vox & guitar etc pre's. Great bundle. Worth it if you have the essentials & want to "up your system". These algorithms are magic.
I’ve use Stock plugin for last 2 years just to learn how to mix master. I just got this plugin bundle and SSL is just better sound than stock plugins. TY
A major difference of the G Channel is that the filters alone can be inserted in the side chain of the dynamics. The E Channel does not allow this very useful routing (for drums particularly).
Great review. Good to know that the EQ is post compression unless you otherwise specify... Question: How do you approach charging for your services so that yourself and the artist are getting a fair deal each? Could you please cover this topic in one of your blogs?
As simply as possible, they sound different in the way they do things. So if you were to put a 6dB boost at 3kHz with your stock EQ with a Q of 2 for example, and do the same with the SSL EQ and AB them you'll notice a difference in the way it sounds (most likely your stock EQ will be harsher or just appear to do less [leaving you with less headroom]). Whether one is better than the other is subjective, but 99% will agree that a well modelled plugin will sound way better than your stock plugins.
I use both, the V-EQ4 give me an excellent sound on vocals which is where I use it most. Just got the SSl4k, so I'm dealing with the learning curve a bit, so I'm slowly bring it into my sessions.
Hi Graham - long time viewer, first time poster. Just wondered if your version of the Waves master buss compressor has the 10:1 and 2:1 performance the wrong way around? I have been using it recently and noticed that at 2:1 which should just tickle the mix, the GR meter was really being hammered and gave audible compression. Changing the dial to 10:1 made it perform as a 2:1 ratio should. Dags
Reason 6.5 and it comes with the mixer model after the SSL9 k that's why does plugin looked so familiar the great thing is Reason is that it's in every channel I love using it
Well done mate, it took me about 5 different videos before i got to yours which explained the routing in an understandable way... i could have read the manual but hey, whatever... :)
This is a great video. I am looking for a SSL style bundle myself. I am debating on this and the one that Native Instruments are offering. Any thoughts?
think of it as squeezing gallons of water into a gallon pail, 1:1 = 1 gallon of water to one gallon sized pail. 2:1= 2 gallons of water compressed into a 1 gallon sized pail. 4:1 = 4 gallons of water compressed into a 1 gallon pail, etc..
using the bundle for 2 years, totally worth the price. The Bus comp is great, but I wouldnt buy the bundle just for that plug in, THE GLUE also does a great job on the mix bus. The Channel Strip is the shit tho
hey Graham, as far as my understanding goes, the major advantage of the SSL bundle is that it's actually modeled from the real thing. I am using the waves API collection for my compression and most of my EQing. it sounds good, the question is if the API is also modeled from rea hardware? I would love to hear your opinion on that. thanks!
The SSL G-Equalizer functions much like the E-Series EQ in Waves’ SSL E-Channel, so it is very easy to move back and forth between these two equalizers. This four-band equalizer offers marginally greater gain change than the E-Series EQ, and each EQ offers a slightly different equalization curve, so you will need to experiment with each equalizer to discover which best suits your specific needs. NOT LIKE THE SSL G-CHANNEL ! ;-p
V-EQ4 is a much brighter EQ i love it more on adlibs then the actual lead vox. but for lead vox i think the SSL EQ just suites the vocal much better and colors the sound better in my opinion.
Graham Cochrane Do you find that these plug-ins are geared more towards Rock or Contemporary music? Not so much Hip Hop? Also are still your go to tools?
Yes, All waves plug-ins are now supported by 64-bit Pro Tools 11. You can go to their site and download the support file, and the plug-ins will work in 11.
Thanks for the reply Matteo. It's a pity that Waves didn't take a little more care with their product quality control to identify this issue before releasing the SSL bundle and simply swap the positions of the number 10 and 2 on the dial. Now that I've realised the error, if I want gentler compression I set it on '10' and let it use the 2:1 ratio.
I noticed the same thing! I usually find myself confident with a 4:1 ratio and never used the 2:1 just because it sqashes too much the sound (even if i guess it's not intended to do so, but i never mixed on the real thing, so maybe it's how the actual circuits work!)
Hi Graham, Nice review. I have the SSl 4000 bundle and the gating is my problem with SSL E on not getting it just as good as the Protools 10 , gate/limiter stock plug. I search all over for someone, beside the manual, to explain the proper way to get it to work as well. Any suggestions are welcome.
if you hold shift while clicking on another plugin it’ll add it and keep the other. u can have as many as u want. it’s been 7 years i hope u have figured this out lolll
that's not how ratios work for compressors, at 1:1, the signal stays the same and isn't compressed at all, at 2:1, if the input gain is 2db over the threshold value, it's compressed to an output value of 1. 4:1 is heavier because 4db over is getting squeezed back down to 1 and 10:1 is way heavier because it's 10db over getting squished back to 1. that's as simple as I can put it if that makes sense.
Even simpler way of saying it imo is - 1:1 = for each 1 dB above the threshold give me 1 dB back, 2:1 for every 2 dB above the threshold give me 1 dB back and etc.
In my personal experience, if you NEED 8 bands of EQ to get a good sound out of something, you probably should just re-track it. Neve 1073s are only 3-band also. When I was in school for audio back in the late 90s early 00s I thought more bands were better because it gives you more control. Turns out, I was wrong. But at the end of the day, it's whatever you're comfortable with. Personally, I like not having to dick around with wondering which band to work on...3 or 4 bands is plenty for me--I like simplicity.
Go with the waves version.I have both.Got the native instruments version with komplete 8 ultimate.Never use it.It sounds a lot more digital than the waves version imo and you have to load guitar rig 5 to use it,which would be fine only theres a optional high quality button on guitar rig and a limiter.Too many buttons.Hope that helps
Is the master bus plugin for the mastering stage , i remember you saying dont put anything on the master bus in mixing before you send it to mastering but if it is for the mix then is it just to add the analogue feel and a tiny bit of compression ?
I love this set of plugins. I need to correct you on the compressor ratio though, 10:1 is more subtle than 4:1, you had said on this that there is heavier/more compression but it's more like a fraction (1/10th) if that helps make it clear how the ratio works in simple terms. So 4:1 would be like 25% compression, 1:1 50% (heavily compressed).
SSL bundle is awesome.. But for 2buss you should try the Glue. It's cheap.. But I find it sounds better much wider then SSL Comp on 2buss or really any buss. I use to love the Waves Buss comp. But A/Bing with Glue and some others I found the Waves sounded narrow. But I still like it on mono sources for crushing things.. I can't mix with out using some of the channel strips though..
sorry but I do not understand ... The ssl appears in AudioSuite, but not in the list of plugins to insert. Do you have another idea how to solve this? Best regards and thank you.
G-channel just went on sale for $29. I already have the E-channel from when it was on sale. Is there any real value in adding the G-channel? What do y'all think?
Not at all. I use it on every channel with no noticeable difference in CPU usage as opposed to other plugins. I think it's even more efficient than quite a few others.
Can you do a video on how you can use a RUclips mp3 instrumental beat on studio one like have it play then record vocals on it I have been researching for months and haven't found shit this would help alot
You can't buy them separately. You can only buy them as a bundle...but no, you don't have to use anything you don't want on a track. Christ, there's no rules in art, yo.
I never use All in one stuff. Normally you have to suffer some really mediocre plugs, that are bundled with something good, and that's not a trade off I am comfortable with. Its been my experience your going to pay more for one good plug, than you payed for the entire SSL bundle. I like waves, but there not the best, at anything.
I have a friend who has a cracked version of this and the plugins visual quality looks a lot more grainy. Is the overall quality of the plugins degraded as well if its cracked?
I would say that if you consider yourself a pro, or even semi-pro, and do audio for any clients other than yourself, then plugins should be the absolute LEAST of your focus. If you want to be even in the same solar system as some of the dedicated production/post-production studios, then your money would likely be better spent on a high quality external clock and/or high quality A/D converters (and to a lesser extent D/A...A/D is by far the most important part). The really high quality stuff doesn't even "sound digital" because there is virtually zero jitter. That being said, is the Waves SSL bundle worth buying (if you think you need it)? Yep. It's pretty damn good. Just understand that if you don't know what you're doing, it's not going to make your tracks sound better. I read an interview with Andrew Scheps once and he actually said he uses the STOCK DigiRack EQIII plugin that comes with Pro Tools on most of his mixes. Yeah...that one!
SWIGGA GEOVANNI it’s just a auxiliary master bus, route all the tracks to that auxiliary bus some engineers start the mixing process in this auxiliary bus like putting an Eq and some compression, it’s actually a very good technique
These plugins changed my life.
Finally someone that knows what they're doing, excellent review! Just Subbed
All the Waves reviews are so useful. Hearing the bypassed/not bypassed is really helpful.
I agree fully with the remark "there is something to be said about not having any visual ques". In this day we are all so used to meters guiding every step that many of us have learned to rely on it.

Excellent review! You should do more plugin reviews. Your explanations are always so concise and easy to follow. Love all the mixing tip vids too
I have to admit...these sound good even when you don't dial in a perfect setting.

Great in depth review with a lot of mixing advice for noobs like me. Thanks for that.
I have these too, and am starting to use them more and more. Like them a lot! Thanks Graham!

Thanks for the tips on signal routing. That encouraged me to read the manual which was super helpful.
I use these ssl on hip hop / trap / edm and they make a huge difference !! Must get .

I have these plug ins and I love them. Especially the buss compressor.
Waves SSL 4000 channel strip is my favorite plugin

This is a great video. I am looking for a SSL style bundle myself. I am debating on this and the one that Native Instruments are offering. Any thoughts?

Nice! Thanks for giving us a review.
Would you give me the audio sources(multi track) that you used in this video?
Excellent video as always, Graham.

the dynamics pre default selection button should be as is. As it is more common to place the eq after the compression.
TheMattd546 Me also. I never liked the sound of older mixes I did when I compressed first. It doesn't sound as "true" to me.
Thanks for the reply Matteo. It's a pity that Waves didn't take a little more care with their product quality control to identify this issue before releasing the SSL bundle and simply swap the positions of the number 10 and 2 on the dial.

dammn same mistake im doin today with this "ch out" button omg ty !! I like to eq then comp too ;)
how see 3 plugins simultaneos in monitor...my PT show only one ...can you helpme?
if you hold shift while clicking on another plugin it’ll add it and keep the other. u can have as many as u want. it’s been 7 years i hope u have figured this out lolll

Yes, kpgpwi64 is right. 1:1 - no compression, 2:1 - light compression, 4:1 - heavy compression, 10:1 - you're in limiting country.
this sounds really good. well done sir
Great Info! But arnt the 3-4 band eqs a little limiting compared to all the 8 + bands out there?
In my personal experience, if you NEED 8 bands of EQ to get a good sound out of something, you probably should just re-track it. Neve 1073s are only 3-band also. When I was in school for audio back in the late 90s early 00s I thought more bands were better because it gives you more control. Turns out, I was wrong.

Wtf are you talking? 1:1 is no compression at all.
SSL bundle is awesome.. But for 2buss you should try the Glue. It's cheap.. But I find it sounds better much wider then SSL Comp on 2buss or really any buss. I use to love the Waves Buss comp. But A/Bing with Glue and some others I found the Waves sounded narrow. But I still like it on mono sources for crushing things.. I can't mix with out using some of the channel strips though..
Cool I will check this out though after looking more at Waves WUP license I am not sure that I want to go that way
Is this pro tools 9.0?? Or which version of pro tools??
love waves ssl!
sorry but I do not understand ...
The ssl appears in AudioSuite, but not in the list of plugins to insert. Do you have another idea how to solve this? Best regards and thank you.
G-channel just went on sale for $29. I already have the E-channel from when it was on sale. Is there any real value in adding the G-channel? What do y'all think?
Great review, I used the ssl 4000 in the 90's and Waves aglirhthms knocked it out the park. Blurry video though??
Does it come with 4 ssl mono & stereo plug in channels .?
What is the difference between Duende and Waves? thanx
Not at all. I use it on every channel with no noticeable difference in CPU usage as opposed to other plugins. I think it's even more efficient than quite a few others.
Can you do a video on how you can use a RUclips mp3 instrumental beat on studio one like have it play then record vocals on it I have been researching for months and haven't found shit this would help alot
What processor's would be good for hip hop drums and kicks ? To get a nice fat kick and good sounding snare
Any one ???
Thank you
Is it possible to use the limiter on the channel strip for mastering?
sorry - i noticed that you have a "SUBMIX" and "SUBMASTER." Is there a reason for this and if so, can you explain.
Very helpful thanks
what i dont understand is: do i need to use all the four plugins at the same time on my master channel? can i buy them separately?
You can't buy them separately. You can only buy them as a bundle...but no, you don't have to use anything you don't want on a track. Christ, there's no rules in art, yo.
Thank you!
Thanks. Great video.
Have you tried a Duende SSL plugins?
I never use All in one stuff. Normally you have to suffer some really mediocre plugs, that are bundled with something good, and that's not a trade off I am comfortable with. Its been my experience your going to pay more for one good plug, than you payed for the entire SSL bundle. I like waves, but there not the best, at anything.
Does this plugin sound good on hip hop and trap music?
Thanks for the infor.. bery helpful
I have a friend who has a cracked version of this and the plugins visual quality looks a lot more grainy. Is the overall quality of the plugins degraded as well if its cracked?
tell him to buy it then he can do a direct comparison. ;-)
obviously it's degraded if it's cracked
I would say that if you consider yourself a pro, or even semi-pro, and do audio for any clients other than yourself, then plugins should be the absolute LEAST of your focus. If you want to be even in the same solar system as some of the dedicated production/post-production studios, then your money would likely be better spent on a high quality external clock and/or high quality A/D converters (and to a lesser extent D/A...A/D is by far the most important part). The really high quality stuff doesn't even "sound digital" because there is virtually zero jitter. That being said, is the Waves SSL bundle worth buying (if you think you need it)? Yep. It's pretty damn good.
Just understand that if you don't know what you're doing, it's not going to make your tracks sound better. I read an interview with Andrew Scheps once and he actually said he uses the STOCK DigiRack EQIII plugin that comes with Pro Tools on most of his mixes. Yeah...that one!
Good for vocals neither?
Is it compatible also in other DAWs?
nice
Hey, what is the significance of a mix buss? I would love to know
SWIGGA GEOVANNI it’s just a auxiliary master bus, route all the tracks to that auxiliary bus some engineers start the mixing process in this auxiliary bus like putting an Eq and some compression, it’s actually a very good technique
can you give a download link to these waves plugins
Are these supported by 11 now?
Is it CPU heavy?
these clour the sound slightly by adding harmonic distortion.like the real ssl desks do.
i've noticed that you had a "SUBMIX" and "SUBMASTER"
guyz i heard V-EQ4 souds a little better then SSl 4k,is anyone here who uses both and if u went for eq wich would u use??thnx
