As somebody who has a Six and a Big Six, I can see how it is limiting. That said, I knew what I was getting into with the Big Six and it fixed upgrade issues I was having at the time. I think it is an excellent centerpiece for a home studio so long as you have no problem working within its limitations. However, I think those limitations which may not be a concern for a home studio would definitely be glaring problems in a professional production environment. As for the preamps, pushing them is a "no-no" and SSL has said as much as they were designed to be super clean. I think I see some Rupert Neve products in your future as it sounds like that is something you may appreciate way more than the SSL approach. 😁
I’ve had the big six since launch paired with the SSL Fusion and BUS + on the master, and I’ve put it up against things done in high end studios on Lynx Aurora and Burl converters and it STILL sounds as good, if not better at times. I would say the benefits outweigh any limitations, and whatever limitations it has you learn to work within those parameters which end up being conducive to creativity. Big Six has a SOUND and that is why even though I can afford much higher end gear and converters, it gets the job done at a high level. Best of luck on your journey tho man keep on rockin!
@@LegandaryMusician201 Hey man I appreciate your perspective and I agree I just went in a different direction I'm pretty happy with it at times I want to add a big six back into the mix for my outboard gear but the way that I have it set up now kind of helps Thanks for the discussion
Thanks for the thorough multi-episode review and the sound design of the episodes is AMAZING! How do you think the Big 6 would go as a Live (like for electronic music LIVE) via DAW, UA apollo x6, various hardware synths...? TIA
I’m surprised to hear about this. It’s an interesting take on why you sold the BIG SIX. I disagree with most of the things you said, but to each his own. You either vibe with gear, or you don’t. There is no wrong answer. We can only offer opinions. I’m my case, I think it’s a fantastic little mixer. I got it when it first came out. Sonically, it’s a very clean mixer. That’s the whole idea behind the SuperAnalogue design. It has no transformers inside, which is what gives gear that pleasing distortion when you push preamps really hard. The API and the Phoenix Audio sounds more pleasing when it distorts, because they have transformers, which adds the pleasing harmonic distortion. I have the API 1608 and the BIG SIX sits alongside it as a sub mixer and sounds fantastic. No corners cut, even with the conversion, in my opinion. I own the Apogee Symphony Special Edition and have no problems using them both together. Like a few people have mentioned before, converter technology has sort of peaked. You really need top quality trained ears to objectively be able to tell the difference, in a lot of cases. I’m blessed to have an amazing set of Uber expensive Barefoot MM12 monitors. Those things are insane for accuracy. It reveals no flaws with the BIG SIX and its converters. This mixer is literally a tiny Origin console, with a simplified eq. Look at the specs, they are literally the same. The other thing you mentioned was about no expandability, which is also kind of odd, since it has a SUM input to main bus feature, which allows you to connect other mixers in a cascading fashion. My API 1608 is connected this way. No signal degradation. It’s the real deal. This isn’t a starter mixer with questionable specs. Anyway, like I said, to each his own. If it doesn’t work for you, that’s cool, but I thought your listeners should hear other opinions. I have outboard gear to color the sound, like the API, and Neve 1073, blah, blah, and combine it all together with the clean super analogue channels adding nothing and BOOM, amazing mix. Your mileage may vary.
Thank-you for clarifying your experience. This is the impression I had, but the few negative videos on this mixer had me reconsidering purchasing it. It is the right combo of features for the synths I have, but the videos I had seen made me question the converters. If you can use them with the Apogee Symphony then they must be fine. I also like the Origin so you have given me the confidence to move forward with the Big Six. Thank-you :)
@nitevisionimages I don’t know where you’re getting it from but make sure you click the link in the description that really helps the channel. Thank you for your support. I appreciate everyone.
I love the big six,it is more than enough for what i need ,sound wise ,it is right there with most of the most expensive gear, it sounds very analog to me ,the master buss Compressor is so underrated 😮. I think most of us ,including myself are suffering from gear purchasing syndrome 😂 We are always looking for the next gear satisfy our addiction Because of my love for the ssl big six sound,i bought the ssl 6 for my live gigs,it gave me that studio grade quality when i am performing live back in the days people pay thousands to record in very expensive studios that dont come close to what we have today in our home studio,with all the limitations they had back them,they made Grammy award winning songs ..today any skilled person can make great music with just a lapto, a 50 dollar sound card and a second hand shure sm58 microphone .for now i have decided to save money and stop buying unnecessarily,my goal right now is to focus on being creative..one more thing, i know many large studios that till this day are still making great music with pro tools hd 10 /the old hd TDM hardware. Bless
Hey man I totally get where you're coming from and buying gear can be an addiction like gear lust I totally get it which is why I've stopped 🤣🤣 but I appreciate your position and opinion and speaking on that in an intelligent and non-combative way Thanks for the comment appreciate you

The Big Six would be a banger if all ,,fader" channels would have analog insert points so that you could use them as direct outs while tracking with another interface. This is the biggest problem with this desk. It forces you to use the build in interface to record with and that wasn´t smart.
"preamps have no color". SSL have NEVER been sought after for its preamp and most certainly not its "color". EQ and buss compressor is why you go with SSL.
@@TouchToneDSG Preamp drive or color yes, Dr Dre is famous for pushing the drive to have a color on his SSL console, he even showed this to MixbyAli, he explained that himself. I understand that this is not the case of the bigSix though.
@@TouchToneDSG I just bought my BigSix and hooked it up today. I was searching for info and found your video. I was a lil nervous to watch it. 😂 The great part about this is that I realized that you have an extremely high bar related to your expectations and needs. This is my first foray into a high quality, small format mixer. After watching, you made me realize I made the right move, but also that it's okay to keep raising the bar and expect more! 🙌🏻 Thank you.
@@precisionsoundworksstudio Hey man that's awesome and I totally agree with you bro if I didn't go for more I would definitely still be there like I said it's a great piece and for the money it can't be beat
The flaw with this video is your not taking price into account. You have swapped and compared the big six to multiple units totalling all most 4 TIMES its value! Of course it’s going to be better! The B6 is definitely limited and I hope one day to outgrow it but for the price there’s very little like it. I also LOVE that it doesn’t have software my god I HATE having to use multiple routings! However my outboard selection is quite small and dedicated to tracking mode or 2 bus mode so I never feel the limitations that much. I wish the bus comp had more options but running it parallel is a game changer so SO good! Again for the price there’s very little that can take it on head to head. It sounds to me that you simply had enough work (which is awesome) to buy much better stuff! I’d love a lynx and a pile of preamps and other hardware but again that’s SO much more money than just the B6 just for the preamps you mentioned it’s almost twice the value. In my mind what you’re doing isn’t comparing two similar products or price points, you’ve levelled up man which is amazing but of course it’s going to be better! You can’t really compare the two! One set up cost 2.6 - 3k and the other cost almost 10k! Love the new set up though and keep the vids coming as always dude!
I feel like all these reasons are kind of BS considering you're solving these "problems" with multiple pieces of gear that cost 15 times what the Big Six offers. Of course everyone knows there are outboard units and converters that are in the $5k-$10k price range, but bang-for-your-buck the Big Six is an optimal choice. You get an interface, analog preamps, analog EQ, several stages of analog compression, analog summing for under $3k? Nothing else even competes in that bracket!
I was thinking the exact same things when the Big six came out and swayed me from buying it. The thing SSL is known for is mixing, routing and summing...for a small format 8 channel mixer without full dynamics and transformers coloring as the signal passes does not really tap in to the potential of a 4000 G/E series console. Working on a beast like that is a whole different thing like apples and oranges. I think the API Box II would be a much better option what many people think the Six can do, but the price is much higher. Tnx for your honest insight.
I had forgot some of the features of the Big6 sense it first came out..like it being an interface and sort of an all in one solution SSL branded BOX. I was thinking to was more along the lines of the Xdesk were you can have an analog summing and mixing and tracking but with the freedom to choose your own interface & external effects.. yep it’s a high priced mid level mixer interface with a few SSL bells and whistles. I run all my gear thru my Xdesk and my interface is Avid 16*16 I/O using the Pro Tools HDX system and my controllers are the Avid Dock and S3..I have SSL xrack Eq’s, dynamics, g buss com, and a few other outboard pres and compressors, that I can insert on the xdesk. The xdesk has no pre amps, dynamics or Eq built in. It was designed for that hybrid work flow and the software is Avid and other third parties
I had one and sold it. Truth is that it’s a cool concept, and it does a lot of things, but it doesn’t do any of those things well enough to justify the space it takes up. If it had a couple more channels, or the channels compressors were a little more flexible, maybe it would be worth it. What bugs me the most is that 8k is not selectable as an eq frequency. That’s just crazy since 8k is one of the things that SSL consoles are known for
Yeah man it doesn't fit everybody and that's what I was trying to say in this video but you know not everyone received that message what do you have now

@@TouchToneDSG I'm really digging your videos, love your approach and honesty, and enthusiasm! And you are funny as hell! I have a home studio as well, mostly based around a UAD Apollo and MOTU 828 interfaces. Still mixing in the box, but I have all the UAD and Waves stuff you could want. I also have a Tascam DP24sd that is great for small projects and a Tascam Portacapture X8 for field recording when I do video. Keep those videos coming!!! And tell your wife you need to buy some new gear to review!!!Hhaha!!
Was set on this for awhile but eventually decided no direct outs was not for me, got an RME ucxii, going to expand with Adat & get the a couple of the ssl uc series or maybe just a mix wizard. Going to cost more but be so much more flexible with room for growth. Cheers for confirming I dodged a bullet!
@@TouchToneDSG well i remember when i was watching your review & you were in love with it! Guess you pushed it to its limits, definitely a sign of growth. 👍🏼 Would love the aurora but just too much for my budget 🤦🏼
Your Presentation Game is off the charts DSG I felt kinda sad though Because you were so geek's with the BIG 6. You should have a funeral for it fit and proper! 🤜🎹🤛
Ive got the SoundCraft LX7II and loving it.....using it with Warm Audio.....Comps...and UAD Interface.....with Nebula and Acustica Audio ITB and loving it..........
Hey man...great content...i have the original UAD Apollo...10+ years...then just bought the SSL Big Six...thinking technology must be better in the converters now, is this something you found? Was it an upgrade in converters from the older UAD?
I have a Lynx Aurora as well. I'm curious to know, you have the RME interface as your AD/DA in addition to the Lynx for more ins/outs? I currently have my Lynx as my DA but the Burl B2 as the ADC.
Ooh fantastic. The Aurora(n) club. Loving mine. I have it with set up as an 8 plus 4 Lynx preamps as I have tube mics and had 1073n and chandler zener all linked with a patch bay for very easy re routing. I looked at Burl but chose to stick to the lynx
Yo DSG ... I'm a little "heart-broken" now. I acquired one about 4 month's ago and still gearing up to sum and mix some of my tracks with. With all the interfaces out there, I have been tapped into your journey for about 18 months. When you 1st received your unit, you were excited and that translated. I even watched the 1 year followup a few times before pulling the trigger. I will hang in there throughout the fall / winter while I work on my EP, but ....#$%@$! ... thx bro!
Yeah man I appreciate you and I just want to preface that the big six is still really good for 95% of people I'm just on a different journey and I just outgrew it especially with my current setup if I was still in that spot I think I would be more than happy with it so I'm glad I could help you the first time around I'm still excited about that piece to be quite honest it's just that when you start growing and you start finding out about different pieces and that's what I'm looking for especially if I'm competing with other studios who have depockets it just makes sense. But I'm glad you like it and when you get some of your mixes done man tag me in them or let me know I would love to hear them
In theory, you’re right about your take on “it’s 2023, why not have all options available?” But I know I get pretty distracted, uninspired, and hung up on unimportant details when the options lack clear limits or workflow lacks an obvious “right way to do it.” For me and I’m sure others the songs I’ve made in a daw are my worst. I’d rather have a limited recording process with mediocre preamps and imperfect conversion if it results in a result of significantly more artistic value. Everyone is different, but I know for me, there’s no “analog pride” or “anti daw snobbery” going on, I’m just orders of magnitude less productive when I have access to dozens of virtual instruments, near limitless effects, and high resolution waveforms. Reminds me of people saying to put all your expenses on credit cards as to accumulate points making the implicit assumption that everyone has the same level of financial confidence and reliable self control (because it’s the interest paid on my card that’s been maxed out for a decade that’s paying for all those points after all hahaha)
Man thanks for sharing this a lot of your points I agree with I've been there with the credit cards in my younger days I learned from that I'm pretty happy with what I have now and have been focusing more on creating but I really like the video side of things as well the more I do it the more I learn the more I say I have a passion for that as well Thanks for being so transparent

The DA is better than the AD, that’s for sure. And they should have added more hybrid functionality, at least a USB charging port and an external clock interface.
I owned a Prism Sound Atlas and a Lyra, and yeah the Converters on Big Six are not mixing grade..... its like they purposely left the ADAT out....WHY??🤔

Great video my guy, got a little scary @1:25 The Big Six wasn’t having it. 😂 The quality of your videos keeps improving, great job TouchTone DSG 💪🏻. Will be on the lookout 👀 for your upcoming Phoenix Audio preamp video.
Did you try analog out from the BiG SiX to your high end ADC? I agree the 96k limit of the USB sucks, but you aren't required to use it. Just like you can insert other preamps between the source and the stereo/mono channel ins, etc. The original SiX had no USB at all, which is fine by me, my RME ADI2 Pro gives me all of the ADC/DAC options I could dream of! Use it in the way that best suits your work flow. Oh, but you don't have it now ...
This is kind of the problem in the modern age. Getting your sound into the DAW with Grade -A pre's and top quality A/D s essentially the best quality your audio is going to be. So routing back out and converting back in again is always going to degrade sound quality so it's really got to be worth doing it over a great A/D converter to a really great bit of hardware.
I did think this about the converters... and the preamps, I wish they did not include them and just made a 12 mono channel or 16 version. This was a bit too cheap for a SSL and this shows why. If you think about the cost of the X-Rack in comparison
They missed on a couple of areas in my opinion for most people this will be good but if you're looking to mix bigger records you're definitely going to need better conversion so you could hear what you're doing especially if you're competing in a game of inchs. But the converters was my main issue out of everything I went over

Thank you for your insights. I have SSL plugins and really wanted to try out the small desks but I already figured they were too limited, lack of ADAT particularly. I chose audient over SSL for the same reason. I wrote to SSL and they were very responsive and positive. Let hope they can bring more flexibility in future products. Tx Man!!
Hey man thanks The desk is great and I love every bit of it it has really increased my workflow by a lot as far as the converters the apogee or great converters as well I had a choice and a chance to get those as well but there was some things about the Aurora converters that I just love better especially the clarity and depth
I see your points, bro. Tks for the video! I'm from Brazil, and here its impossible to a home studio get all that gear that you get to replace your SSL Big 6. But I'm still questioning my self if it worth The price. Is it possible to work hybrid with The Big Six? Big hug bro
Yeah man it is definitely possible to work hybrid with the big six and if you don't plan on getting much more hardware or trying to expand too much it's a great option for you You can find them used on reverb for a pretty good price or catch it on sale but all in all I think you'll love it
Yo I feel you I have yet cop a big six cause I new in the future adding more gear it's limited but the conversion I never heard of the clipping issue. Wow I would run my custom drums and custom synth from Fruit loops through the bigsix just for the analog tone. I actually want to use it to process all my custom midi a little. I make custom sounds in FL OR from Omni spear then pass that through the big six then buss to my machine then finish my midi production then buss my arrangement 8 track at a time into to protools to add vocal and mix /master. and tracking thanks for there heads up on the big six device might save me a headache and money how is you new convertors working. Looks like best thing for me is to build a custom summing hybrid studio. My goal is to have a hybrid studio use outboard gear to process everything then make all my drums programming with my MPC OR MACHINE use the machine work flow to arrange my production midi with my custom synth and drum sounds with midi interments then bounce those track into protools.
Interesting. I don't have a big 6 but i do use the little . I use it mostly to bring in digital drum machines to take the edge off as well as its bus compressorthat i love. It wheels very well for this. Understanding the ssl pre amp design intention are important. They are designed to be clean and not as tone to signals. Be aware that Lynx pre amps are this on steroids as they are also ultra pristine. I have 4 of them on my Lynx (n). They are best for when you truly want to know exactly what your hardware sounds like to the extreme without adding anything aside from completely transparent gain. If you want colour in pre amps then Neve 1073, BAE clones of neves, universal audio 6176 and other pres that are usually attempting to to emulate old neves really give you colouration pushing signal through transformers or tubes in the Universal audio 6176, la610 or solo 610. All fantastic while using them for several years. The funny thing about what you are saying about the conversion is why i liked the ssl6. I find the most important part of my chain to be the conversion and I think SSL opted for a basic good affordable conversion rather than putting higher end converters in it. I would not have bought the sslsix if it had a built in interface but i think the big 6 it solved problems for outsole who want that. You did well to make your changes.
Thank you for your video - I remember seeing your video when you just got it... I guess if you watch my recent video where I have reviewed SSL gear - specifically the difference between the SIX and BIG SIX - you may get some answers as to the quality.... Also, I hate computers for the music work - it is personal but I get distracted and confused with millions of possible options. I have worked it out for myself that I am better off in analogue domain (please note - I am just a hobbyist). Thanks for all your hard work and videos!
@@TouchToneDSG I surely prefer the sound of the SIX over the BIG SIX and it could be down to the converters that were built in to BIG SIX. As you can see from my set up - I am using SSL 12 but I am happy with it whereas the BIG SIX lacks depth and width as you have mentioned. Whilst I have the BIG SIX at my place I would try using it with SSL 12 instead of using on-board sound card - it would be interesting to hear the results... Let me know if you would like me to update you on my findings...

Seems to me you got a budget upgrade . Did the monitors really bring out the limitations you didn’t know were there ? Which came first , the ability to purchase or the realization of the limitations of the sound (more than I/o)
Hello - hello! I own mine now for one year and I almost can understand every point that you said. At the moment all i use it for is to sum everything out on 11/12 and then run it to my outboardgear via the master-insert. You said it - "No-Recall" is really shit (which lead me to let the faders all at unity and just use EQ and Insertpoints). And also that there are no steroinserts - thats the biggest problem in my opinion (though you can youse the ext-cues to at least have one). Soundwhise: I like the preamps for E-Guitars very much. Also for speaking (somtetimes more then my UA 611 or even the 1073). But yes: I wish that I took a modular rout like you do now - couse i think its more conveniant and therfore faster. Greetings, Bernd
I couldn't agree with you more Yes we need more inserts on the stereo implants as well and recall is a nightmare but I must say I'm happy where I'm at now Thanks for the comment man
@@thePunkRockMix thank you man I really do appreciate it That's the main reason I do it is for you guys I got something special coming for you folks stay tuned new video will be out next week
Upon a paper review of the related hardware, I totally agree. The Aurora (n) supports 24/192KHz and it's modularity is pretty cool for growth. Also considering Flock's Patch to simplify & automate routing. I was anticipating you'd mention WesAudio's 16ch ngLeveler. With these 3 components, the setup of the session settings and mix can be automated. There's a decent choice of DAW controller's that'll handle the hands-on workflows. And then there's preamp/summing flexibility. Curious how you arranged the Patch IO. The Lynx can consume a lot of the channels on the Patch, so is 64 really enough for a 16 channel setup given pre, processing, and summing? Appreciate your point of view!
Hey man, I appreciate the comment so right now everything really works for me. I was looking at the NG leveler and that’s probably gonna be one of my next components that I do pick up the flexibility is unmatched in my opinion, and like you said pairing that with what I already have Would be a godsend. So my inputs and outputs are fairly straightforward. I have pretty much all of my hardware running to the patch and then out of the Aurora. I’m running into the D box back into the Aurora and with my hardware synthesizers and drum machines I have those running into the Phoenix audio DI box 8 channel which is also running into the Aurora so I have max flexibility with all of the good goowyness of hardware running back into my system

@@johnisrael5183 Thanks for the detailed reply. No doubt OTB and ITB are indistinguishable in many regards. If cost, space, cabling, and automation were not at all factors, would you be more inclined to go with analog processing?
Big Six hits really hard espcially drums and analog synths!! RME great converters but I like the Prism :) but real talk .. converts are not as much of an issue anymore!! people got hits on apollo twins etc..stereo imaging is somtimes overrated for mixing I got the bix six mainly for my synths and MPC and it sounds amazing! you cant compare the Pre's to your new pres two different animals but the b6 is still really good You cant crap on B6 because you got new gear and trash it like its garbage especially when you where singing its praises in the beginning. BTW great presentation on all your vids :)
I don't think I crapped on it I could see how you can see that honestly but I wasn't trying to crap on it or come off pretentious's some people have stated I was just simply giving my opinion I think it's still really good and great for most people to be quite honest with you I was just searching for something different that's all
Great video. I have a Big Six. I mostly like it, however the strange limitation it has with Logic Pro is frustrating. With Logic you can't use analog inputs 1 & 2 unless you create an aggregate device. SSL blames Apple, but I've never seen that kind of limitation before.
I’ve mine to the drum room. Graduates to a 5060/5059 combo. Married to a stack of flocks and 32 channels of RME conversion. The B6 is fantastic for the price, but it is not expandable unfortunately.
They need to add tb passthrough (like UAD) or Madi to the next version so you can expand. What you and I have done is basically built our own big 12. And turned the quality up a notch to boot. Funny too how I hot my 1st Big six after watching your bid. But upgraded a few months later after adding more outboard and figuring out what you posted today. I think the best application for a big six is as a band practise room mixer. Dial in and track the rehearsal to capture any magic or happy mistakes. Other option is as a dedicated mixer for 808 or 909 😂

Hey bro FYI there’s no such thing as conversion on an analog mixer only when a piece of equipment is digital does it have a conversion chip inside of it to make that digital signal into an analog signal
I enjoyed the video… The Big six is what it is… It’s clean, so you can do some things with it…You are really on a journey.. Your wife is going to be upset with you, because their are so many levels of this..Great choice with lynx conversion..It’s a solid piece.. I have lynx conversion along with merging technologies Anubis and hapi conversion which is another level… But, you are going to have to decide when enough is enough….Because it is easy to go down this expensive rabbit hole…
Hey man thanks for the great conversation I appreciate it without bashing me I'm pretty happy with my conversion and I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon I know that rabbit hole can go deep and you have some really good stuff holy crap but that rabbit hole can get up on you so fast you don't even realize it like I said I'm very happy with what I have now and I just want to continue to make good music thank you
Love the channel. At my old studio I had a Trident Vector 432 with the Lynx Aurora (Digi HD2 at the time). I loved it! Now that just have a project studio, I have the SSL Big Six + 2x Craneborn 500 series interface(loaded with neve gear). Because the Big Six is so limiting, I need to create an aggregate audio device and combine the two! It's pretty frustrating. For now, it's fine. I wish I would have just spent double and gotten the XL-Desk or the 16 channel Looptrotter. Either of those would have forced me back into the Lynx interface, which would have been worth it. ... Like most people, I do prefer Neve or API pres. But I do like the "Six Logic" pres. They do sound "pro" to me. Probably more so than Trident pres do. Which I think says a lot!
Exactly man I couldn't agree more I was thinking about doing an aggregate device but I felt like down the line that will cause more headaches for me so I just sucked it up and then all in one solution that is modular so I can expand as I want it to That was a big part for me and I agree with you the pres sound pro but like I was saying they're at the beginning of that when you start getting into hiring preamps but I'm also aware that those higher end preamps cost the same or double as the whole big six

Agreed a major studios I think they are a staple just because of their boards which are absolutely incredible but here on a market to where you have pro semi-pro there's so many more options that are better
I think where the big six shines is when you dont look at it as an interface. The conversion on there could definitely be better but nothing beats the speed of the analog workflow. In my opinion get a good interface with good conversion like rme etc and use the big six like a console. Thats where its at
You definitely made the right move Bro! I couldn't agree more....feeling like your being limited doesn't really help nor feel inspiring....Can't wait to hear the 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 that comes out of there!!! Let's Gooooooo!!!!
The only thing I though was that you could use the stereo sends to create your 4 stereo's into two stereos with inserts... but in the end of the day I rather just get a used toft mixer
You know I think overall it's a good piece for most people but if you're competing in the mix world it's not you're going to get exposed quickly and I agree with you on the sends. Hopefully they can learn from this and the next version they can make much better but I would like to preface overall I think it's still a great piece though for most people
@@TouchToneDSG ya - I got ahead of myself and I was moving out model 12.. watching a lot of CMP and I hopped on it- he got the 6..as u kno.. but on my build? this ain’t fittin in the Flo- I thought about keeping it as a keyboard summer but still.. kinda wasting the whole “idea” so to speak, of it.. it needs to be the center of the universe type thing.. I’m on a different journey ~
Bro, nice Video but you explain why you sold the BiG Six, discuss its limitations, but have invested at least six to seven times more in other outboard gear. Surely you are now more satisfied with the audio quality 😜 But please name an outboard gear that performs similarly to the SSL Big Six, for the same price.. difficult to find…
I'm definitely more happy until your second point there is not one which will I still think it's a great option a fantastic option if that's what you want
Yeah man I liked it for what it was but you quickly come to realize once your growth hits a certain spot it doesn't allow you to grow so you got to make other moves Thanks bro
Exactly bro, it was the word clock thing that did it for me not being able to route to an A/D and not enough inserts for outboard unless one serial chains etc.. missed how drums snapped on it though! well life goes on .. lol Cheers man!
I still think the big six is a very viable option for most people especially if you're just using it for something like the MPC it's cool a lunch box will take you further depending on what you're trying to do just my opinion here if you're looking to add more color and punch then yes the lunch box but if you're looking for functionality and routing workflow with some decent pres The SSL Big 6 all day
Hi there! Cool vid BUT... :D You are comparing apples and oranges imo. SSL BS mixer costs 2500$ and you blame the pre's(4x) for being flat or whatever, and then you do show off with your new pre's for 2500$ a pair :D c'mon dude, I thought you're more sophisticated with the subject. Whole idea of SSL Big Six is totally far away from what you've presented. Nevertheless I admire your effort, keep going! Btw, try Burl DA and you'll hear musicality ;) 5!
I totally agree with you That's why I made that point let me preface by saying I still think the SSL big six is really good and still brings a lot of value but I upgraded my monitoring and I heard it's limits which led me to sort out to get more higher in gear cuz I could hear it I think for most people the SSL Big 6 is a fantastic choice and will do well but for what I'm doing and where I want to go I hit its limits pretty quickly that's all and you're right I should have explain that point more Great call out and secondly the Burl is on the list 🤣🤣🤣
Truth is quite simple y’all…. NOTHING changed here. No super skills, not the monitoring showing flaws in the B6, nothing except our man here got ‘mo money’ so had more options. You spend (much) more and you have more options with less compromises. My RND rig cost 15x what the B6 did. Is it better…. Well In should damn well hope so! Does not diminish the Big Six in any way - and neither does those video really. You still won’t assemble a better collection of parts for 2.5 than you get in a single box with the SSL unit. Heck with RND a MBP+MBC already costs 3x a Big six and you only have 2. Channels!….. in another 12 months there’ll be another vid moving from mid to some high end pres and strips. Not why anyone would want or expect ‘vibe’ from an SSL pre though. They have never been known for that. Only clean and low noise. Very transparent and present. The vibe channels would be RND shelford, Manley Core, Avalon, Hendy, Or Chandler THMC.
@@infojunkie4989 I agree with that Business picked up and I started getting higher in clients and it got competitive in the big six couldn't keep up with my needs but it still doesn't take away from what it is I think it's still a fantastic unit like I said it's just certain things that I noticed that we're limited and I outgrew those limits if we're talking bang for buck it's still one of the best units out there if not the best for that price range flexibility wise depending on what you want to do it's still one of the best but there are certain tiers of quality and it was the lowest tier in my studio and I had to move on Thanks for the comment
@@TouchToneDSG fantastic to hear your business picked up. Congrats! You did the wise thing and invested. I don’t make my living in this game. For me it is a hobby/passion. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Love your enthusiasm and presentation style.
@@infojunkie4989 Hey man I really appreciate that and thank you a lot of people don't understand that point of view but that's okay maybe it's not meant for them to
Your gear comparisond to Big six make no sense. The Api pre you showed cost as much as the Big Six. The aurora as well. You have to be more reasonable with similar cost 6:27 comparisoms. I have the Big Six and agree with several of your points. Why did you buy a clean board? If you wanted color you go Neve or api. In its price point I havent found another mixer with interface, some comps and bus comp. I added an ssl fusion and api 2500+ and that helps a lot for color, width and depth. Just my .02
I would advice anyone...."Gear Drooling at the Mouth right now" just to upgrade your Computer....your insterface...get a 2 or 3 unites of "Affordable Analog Gear" and get Nebula and Acustica Audio...Plugins....mix down with those...add vocals and run that through your gear....and your mixes will sound just as good as "What He Has" Again...not hatin....happy for you bro....just sayin...you can get that same Quality for a Fraction of the cost and space in your studio......

I knew it......its a rip off...LOL.....for a little more.....add $2000 and now you can have......you can get the SSL 2 Bus + and the Fusion or do a Craborn......and put the Reall SSL Moduals in it........
He said “It’s 2023” lol, I guess my bank account didn’t get the Memo! I should spend more thousands for even better converters and preamps for this hobby that makes me smile in self satisfaction. Joking…but yeah I think if I did get this I would be just fine.
This is going to be interesting assuming that you actually watch this video and my points about it but please explain yourself since you're going to publicly call me a liar
Let me know what you think about the big six. I think it's still great but I outgrew it.
As somebody who has a Six and a Big Six, I can see how it is limiting. That said, I knew what I was getting into with the Big Six and it fixed upgrade issues I was having at the time. I think it is an excellent centerpiece for a home studio so long as you have no problem working within its limitations. However, I think those limitations which may not be a concern for a home studio would definitely be glaring problems in a professional production environment. As for the preamps, pushing them is a "no-no" and SSL has said as much as they were designed to be super clean. I think I see some Rupert Neve products in your future as it sounds like that is something you may appreciate way more than the SSL approach. 😁
@@Ultimate_Wasabi You are right about the preamps I'm looking at those now I have a couple of APIs and I love them but I agree with your points here
I’ve had the big six since launch paired with the SSL Fusion and BUS + on the master, and I’ve put it up against things done in high end studios on Lynx Aurora and Burl converters and it STILL sounds as good, if not better at times. I would say the benefits outweigh any limitations, and whatever limitations it has you learn to work within those parameters which end up being conducive to creativity. Big Six has a SOUND and that is why even though I can afford much higher end gear and converters, it gets the job done at a high level. Best of luck on your journey tho man keep on rockin!
@@LegandaryMusician201 Hey man I appreciate your perspective and I agree I just went in a different direction I'm pretty happy with it at times I want to add a big six back into the mix for my outboard gear but the way that I have it set up now kind of helps Thanks for the discussion
Thanks for the thorough multi-episode review and the sound design of the episodes is AMAZING! How do you think the Big 6 would go as a Live (like for electronic music LIVE) via DAW, UA apollo x6, various hardware synths...? TIA
I’m surprised to hear about this. It’s an interesting take on why you sold the BIG SIX. I disagree with most of the things you said, but to each his own. You either vibe with gear, or you don’t. There is no wrong answer. We can only offer opinions. I’m my case, I think it’s a fantastic little mixer. I got it when it first came out. Sonically, it’s a very clean mixer. That’s the whole idea behind the SuperAnalogue design. It has no transformers inside, which is what gives gear that pleasing distortion when you push preamps really hard. The API and the Phoenix Audio sounds more pleasing when it distorts, because they have transformers, which adds the pleasing harmonic distortion. I have the API 1608 and the BIG SIX sits alongside it as a sub mixer and sounds fantastic. No corners cut, even with the conversion, in my opinion. I own the Apogee Symphony Special Edition and have no problems using them both together. Like a few people have mentioned before, converter technology has sort of peaked. You really need top quality trained ears to objectively be able to tell the difference, in a lot of cases. I’m blessed to have an amazing set of Uber expensive Barefoot MM12 monitors. Those things are insane for accuracy. It reveals no flaws with the BIG SIX and its converters. This mixer is literally a tiny Origin console, with a simplified eq. Look at the specs, they are literally the same. The other thing you mentioned was about no expandability, which is also kind of odd, since it has a SUM input to main bus feature, which allows you to connect other mixers in a cascading fashion. My API 1608 is connected this way. No signal degradation. It’s the real deal. This isn’t a starter mixer with questionable specs. Anyway, like I said, to each his own. If it doesn’t work for you, that’s cool, but I thought your listeners should hear other opinions. I have outboard gear to color the sound, like the API, and Neve 1073, blah, blah, and combine it all together with the clean super analogue channels adding nothing and BOOM, amazing mix. Your mileage may vary.
I respect your point of view Thanks
Professionnal talk ! ❤
Thank-you for clarifying your experience. This is the impression I had, but the few negative videos on this mixer had me reconsidering purchasing it. It is the right combo of features for the synths I have, but the videos I had seen made me question the converters. If you can use them with the Apogee Symphony then they must be fine. I also like the Origin so you have given me the confidence to move forward with the Big Six. Thank-you :)
@nitevisionimages all good man glad I could help
@nitevisionimages I don’t know where you’re getting it from but make sure you click the link in the description that really helps the channel. Thank you for your support. I appreciate everyone.
So why didnt just use the Big 6 as a summing box to get the SSL sound and have the AururA as the interface going out to SSL back into Aurura
Those two pieces are worlds apart and I'd rather simplify it like the way I did
The magic is in the limitations. Thanks for the video. BTW, Impressive studio!
Thanks bro I couldn't agree more I feel like I made some of my best music when I had limitations
I love the big six,it is more than enough for what i need ,sound wise ,it is right there with most of the most expensive gear, it sounds very analog to me ,the master buss Compressor is so underrated 😮. I think most of us ,including myself are suffering from gear purchasing syndrome 😂 We are always looking for the next gear satisfy our addiction
Because of my love for the ssl big six sound,i bought the ssl 6 for my live gigs,it gave me that studio grade quality when i am performing live
back in the days people pay thousands to record in very expensive studios that dont come close to what we have today in our home studio,with all the limitations they had back them,they made Grammy award winning songs ..today any skilled person can make great music with just a lapto, a 50 dollar sound card and a second hand shure sm58 microphone .for now i have decided to save money and stop buying unnecessarily,my goal right now is to focus on being creative..one more thing, i know many large studios that till this day are still making great music with pro tools hd 10 /the old hd TDM hardware. Bless
Hey man I totally get where you're coming from and buying gear can be an addiction like gear lust I totally get it which is why I've stopped 🤣🤣 but I appreciate your position and opinion and speaking on that in an intelligent and non-combative way Thanks for the comment appreciate you
After Becoming Proficient at Mastering and Mixing, Im convinced that

I've had one for about 6 months. The Big Six is a good package of features for a relatively modest price. I have not hit restrictions yet.
Hey man that's great
The Big Six would be a banger if all ,,fader" channels would have analog insert points so that you could use them as direct outs while tracking with another interface. This is the biggest problem with this desk. It forces you to use the build in interface to record with and that wasn´t smart.
Well said man Great point
"preamps have no color". SSL have NEVER been sought after for its preamp and most certainly not its "color". EQ and buss compressor is why you go with SSL.
Very true
Very very false, The SSL always had been praised for preamp drive, Its legendary for that.
Just hear any Dr Dre interview about mixing on his console.
(on 4000 - 9000 line, large format analog console)
@@DarkTrapStudio are you talking about color?
@@TouchToneDSG Preamp drive or color yes, Dr Dre is famous for pushing the drive to have a color on his SSL console, he even showed this to MixbyAli, he explained that himself.
I understand that this is not the case of the bigSix though.
I just got mine and I’m in love with it.
That's dope man enjoy
Great to hear your perspective.
Hey thank you man I appreciate that
@@TouchToneDSG I just bought my BigSix and hooked it up today. I was searching for info and found your video. I was a lil nervous to watch it. 😂 The great part about this is that I realized that you have an extremely high bar related to your expectations and needs. This is my first foray into a high quality, small format mixer. After watching, you made me realize I made the right move, but also that it's okay to keep raising the bar and expect more! 🙌🏻 Thank you.
@@precisionsoundworksstudio Hey man that's awesome and I totally agree with you bro if I didn't go for more I would definitely still be there like I said it's a great piece and for the money it can't be beat
The flaw with this video is your not taking price into account.
You have swapped and compared the big six to multiple units totalling all most 4 TIMES its value! Of course it’s going to be better!
The B6 is definitely limited and I hope one day to outgrow it but for the price there’s very little like it.
I also LOVE that it doesn’t have software my god I HATE having to use multiple routings! However my outboard selection is quite small and dedicated to tracking mode or 2 bus mode so I never feel the limitations that much.
I wish the bus comp had more options but running it parallel is a game changer so SO good! Again for the price there’s very little that can take it on head to head.
It sounds to me that you simply had enough work (which is awesome) to buy much better stuff! I’d love a lynx and a pile of preamps and other hardware but again that’s SO much more money than just the B6 just for the preamps you mentioned it’s almost twice the value.
In my mind what you’re doing isn’t comparing two similar products or price points, you’ve levelled up man which is amazing but of course it’s going to be better! You can’t really compare the two! One set up cost 2.6 - 3k and the other cost almost 10k!
Love the new set up though and keep the vids coming as always dude!
You're exactly right man those are some great points and that's what I tried to convey in the video I appreciate you commenting and being cordial
I agree with all your points. You know your stuff.
Thank you
I feel like all these reasons are kind of BS considering you're solving these "problems" with multiple pieces of gear that cost 15 times what the Big Six offers. Of course everyone knows there are outboard units and converters that are in the $5k-$10k price range, but bang-for-your-buck the Big Six is an optimal choice.
You get an interface, analog preamps, analog EQ, several stages of analog compression, analog summing for under $3k? Nothing else even competes in that bracket!
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion man
I agree❤
I just bought one and I wasted a time trying to understand why the SSL360 can't find it, thank you bro!
Np man anytime
We need a full studio tour. With detailed descriptions of each piece.
That's exactly what I'm working on right now That is coming super soon
@@TouchToneDSG definitely will stay tuned.
I was thinking the exact same things when the Big six came out and swayed me from buying it. The thing SSL is known for is mixing, routing and summing...for a small format 8 channel mixer without full dynamics and transformers coloring as the signal passes does not really tap in to the potential of a 4000 G/E series console. Working on a beast like that is a whole different thing like apples and oranges. I think the API Box II would be a much better option what many people think the Six can do, but the price is much higher. Tnx for your honest insight.
I replaced it with the lynx Aurora
I had forgot some of the features of the Big6 sense it first came out..like it being an interface and sort of an all in one solution SSL branded BOX. I was thinking to was more along the lines of the Xdesk were you can have an analog summing and mixing and tracking but with the freedom to choose your own interface & external effects.. yep it’s a high priced mid level mixer interface with a few SSL bells and whistles. I run all my gear thru my Xdesk and my interface is Avid 16*16 I/O using the Pro Tools HDX system and my controllers are the Avid Dock and S3..I have SSL xrack Eq’s, dynamics, g buss com, and a few other outboard pres and compressors, that I can insert on the xdesk. The xdesk has no pre amps, dynamics or Eq built in. It was designed for that hybrid work flow and the software is Avid and other third parties
Sounds like you have a great set up
I had one and sold it. Truth is that it’s a cool concept, and it does a lot of things, but it doesn’t do any of those things well enough to justify the space it takes up. If it had a couple more channels, or the channels compressors were a little more flexible, maybe it would be worth it. What bugs me the most is that 8k is not selectable as an eq frequency. That’s just crazy since 8k is one of the things that SSL consoles are known for
Yeah man it doesn't fit everybody and that's what I was trying to say in this video but you know not everyone received that message what do you have now

Thanks for posting the update, now I'm leaning more toward getting something else
Hey man, it’s all good as long as I can help. I know it’s not a popular opinion because so many people like it, but I just wanted to be honest.
@@TouchToneDSG I'm really digging your videos, love your approach and honesty, and enthusiasm! And you are funny as hell! I have a home studio as well, mostly based around a UAD Apollo and MOTU 828 interfaces. Still mixing in the box, but I have all the UAD and Waves stuff you could want. I also have a Tascam DP24sd that is great for small projects and a Tascam Portacapture X8 for field recording when I do video. Keep those videos coming!!! And tell your wife you need to buy some new gear to review!!!Hhaha!!
@@RockTelevision-vv1im 😭😭😭 I sure will man thank you for your support
@@RockTelevision-vv1im very nice set up by the way you can do some serious damage with that
@@TouchToneDSG Thanks, it gets me by.
Was set on this for awhile but eventually decided no direct outs was not for me, got an RME ucxii, going to expand with Adat & get the a couple of the ssl uc series or maybe just a mix wizard.
Going to cost more but be so much more flexible with room for growth.
Cheers for confirming I dodged a bullet!
Glad to help man
@@TouchToneDSG well i remember when i was watching your review & you were in love with it!
Guess you pushed it to its limits, definitely a sign of growth. 👍🏼
Would love the aurora but just too much for my budget 🤦🏼
Your Presentation Game is off the charts DSG I felt kinda sad though Because you were so geek's with the BIG 6. You should have a funeral for it fit and proper!
🤜🎹🤛
🤣🤣 yeah man it had to happen I just outgrew it
Ive got the SoundCraft LX7II and loving it.....using it with Warm Audio.....Comps...and UAD Interface.....with Nebula and Acustica Audio ITB and loving it..........
Nice
Hey man...great content...i have the original UAD Apollo...10+ years...then just bought the SSL Big Six...thinking technology must be better in the converters now, is this something you found? Was it an upgrade in converters from the older UAD?
The conversion was definitely upgrade but I just hit limitations you know
Yur setup is beautiful mane.
Thank you Man
Yo T what kind of hit did you take on the big six? I see there’s a lot of them on Reverb.
I actually didn’t. I showed it at the right time and recouped everything.
@@TouchToneDSG Im taking a hit- BUT.. I took it as payment. for labor.. Im still up..
I have a Lynx Aurora as well. I'm curious to know, you have the RME interface as your AD/DA in addition to the Lynx for more ins/outs? I currently have my Lynx as my DA but the Burl B2 as the ADC.
How do you like the Lynx? I do not have the RME I just added more channels to my Lynx. I'm seriously considering the Burl coming back in
Ooh fantastic. The Aurora(n) club. Loving mine. I have it with set up as an 8 plus 4 Lynx preamps as I have tube mics and had 1073n and chandler zener all linked with a patch bay for very easy re routing. I looked at Burl but chose to stick to the lynx
Thanks!
No doubt
I keep my 🤞🏽, im happy on itb but im happy with my SSL Fusion to, mixing on Hibrit is good on winter. 😂
The SSL Fusion is a beast I still have mine to this day and I don't see myself moving on from it anytime soon I couldn't agree more
Yo DSG ... I'm a little "heart-broken" now. I acquired one about 4 month's ago and still gearing up to sum and mix some of my tracks with. With all the interfaces out there, I have been tapped into your journey for about 18 months. When you 1st received your unit, you were excited and that translated. I even watched the 1 year followup a few times before pulling the trigger. I will hang in there throughout the fall / winter while I work on my EP, but ....#$%@$! ... thx bro!
Yeah man I appreciate you and I just want to preface that the big six is still really good for 95% of people I'm just on a different journey and I just outgrew it especially with my current setup if I was still in that spot I think I would be more than happy with it so I'm glad I could help you the first time around I'm still excited about that piece to be quite honest it's just that when you start growing and you start finding out about different pieces and that's what I'm looking for especially if I'm competing with other studios who have depockets it just makes sense. But I'm glad you like it and when you get some of your mixes done man tag me in them or let me know I would love to hear them
In theory, you’re right about your take on “it’s 2023, why not have all options available?” But I know I get pretty distracted, uninspired, and hung up on unimportant details when the options lack clear limits or workflow lacks an obvious “right way to do it.”
For me and I’m sure others the songs I’ve made in a daw are my worst. I’d rather have a limited recording process with mediocre preamps and imperfect conversion if it results in a result of significantly more artistic value. Everyone is different, but I know for me, there’s no “analog pride” or “anti daw snobbery” going on, I’m just orders of magnitude less productive when I have access to dozens of virtual instruments, near limitless effects, and high resolution waveforms. Reminds me of people saying to put all your expenses on credit cards as to accumulate points making the implicit assumption that everyone has the same level of financial confidence and reliable self control (because it’s the interest paid on my card that’s been maxed out for a decade that’s paying for all those points after all hahaha)
Man thanks for sharing this a lot of your points I agree with I've been there with the credit cards in my younger days I learned from that I'm pretty happy with what I have now and have been focusing more on creating but I really like the video side of things as well the more I do it the more I learn the more I say I have a passion for that as well Thanks for being so transparent

And they should have added more hybrid functionality, at least a USB charging port and an external clock interface.
That functionality would have been great I agree

Great video my guy, got a little scary @1:25 The Big Six wasn’t having it. 😂 The quality of your videos keeps improving, great job TouchTone DSG 💪🏻. Will be on the lookout 👀 for your upcoming Phoenix Audio preamp video.
Hey man I appreciate that so much bro and yeah I don't know what that was and the Phoenix audio video I'm actually working on now it'll be out soon
Did you try analog out from the BiG SiX to your high end ADC? I agree the 96k limit of the USB sucks, but you aren't required to use it. Just like you can insert other preamps between the source and the stereo/mono channel ins, etc. The original SiX had no USB at all, which is fine by me, my RME ADI2 Pro gives me all of the ADC/DAC options I could dream of! Use it in the way that best suits your work flow. Oh, but you don't have it now ...
I didn't try that I thought about it but I just wanted to have something clean in and out that it take care of all my needs but I did think about that
@@TouchToneDSG Too bad, I bet the new monitors would sound dope with analog out from the BiG SiX!
@@mp3o Hey man who knows it can still probably happen
This is kind of the problem in the modern age. Getting your sound into the DAW with Grade -A pre's and top quality A/D s essentially the best quality your audio is going to be. So routing back out and converting back in again is always going to degrade sound quality so it's really got to be worth doing it over a great A/D converter to a really great bit of hardware.
I agree I totally agree
I did think this about the converters... and the preamps, I wish they did not include them and just made a 12 mono channel or 16 version.
This was a bit too cheap for a SSL and this shows why.
If you think about the cost of the X-Rack in comparison
They missed on a couple of areas in my opinion for most people this will be good but if you're looking to mix bigger records you're definitely going to need better conversion so you could hear what you're doing especially if you're competing in a game of inchs. But the converters was my main issue out of everything I went over

That's great to hear I couldn't agree more
Thank you for your insights. I have SSL plugins and really wanted to try out the small desks but I already figured they were too limited, lack of ADAT particularly. I chose audient over SSL for the same reason. I wrote to SSL and they were very responsive and positive. Let hope they can bring more flexibility in future products. Tx Man!!
Hey man no problem hopefully the next iteration has more expendability I'm for that

that desk is dope is asf thinking bout getting new converters also I have the Apollo 8xp was looking at the apogee symphony
Hey man thanks The desk is great and I love every bit of it it has really increased my workflow by a lot as far as the converters the apogee or great converters as well I had a choice and a chance to get those as well but there was some things about the Aurora converters that I just love better especially the clarity and depth
@@TouchToneDSGLynx much better especially for its modular nature.
@@anthonyrock5039 One of the main points bro I love that
I was gona get this in about 3 weeks...but nope...your making me believe..Id be better off...going another route
Not trying to detour anyone just give him my opinion you know My experiences
What other route? For what it does, in the form factor, there's nothing comparable (unless you spend nearly 20K)
I see your points, bro. Tks for the video! I'm from Brazil, and here its impossible to a home studio get all that gear that you get to replace your SSL Big 6. But I'm still questioning my self if it worth The price. Is it possible to work hybrid with The Big Six? Big hug bro
Yeah man it is definitely possible to work hybrid with the big six and if you don't plan on getting much more hardware or trying to expand too much it's a great option for you You can find them used on reverb for a pretty good price or catch it on sale but all in all I think you'll love it
@@TouchToneDSG Thank you bro!!
@@raphaelsantiago7644 no problem man
Yo I feel you I have yet cop a big six cause I new in the future adding more gear it's limited but the conversion I never heard of the clipping issue. Wow I would run my custom drums and custom synth from Fruit loops through the bigsix just for the analog tone. I actually want to use it to process all my custom midi a little. I make custom sounds in FL OR from Omni spear then pass that through the big six then buss to my machine then finish my midi production then buss my arrangement 8 track at a time into to protools to add vocal and mix /master. and tracking thanks for there heads up on the big six device might save me a headache and money how is you new convertors working. Looks like best thing for me is to build a custom summing hybrid studio. My goal is to have a hybrid studio use outboard gear to process everything then make all my drums programming with my MPC OR MACHINE use the machine work flow to arrange my production midi with my custom synth and drum sounds with midi interments then bounce those track into protools.
That's quite the workflow
Interesting. I don't have a big 6 but i do use the little . I use it mostly to bring in digital drum machines to take the edge off as well as its bus compressorthat i love. It wheels very well for this. Understanding the ssl pre amp design intention are important. They are designed to be clean and not as tone to signals. Be aware that Lynx pre amps are this on steroids as they are also ultra pristine. I have 4 of them on my Lynx (n). They are best for when you truly want to know exactly what your hardware sounds like to the extreme without adding anything aside from completely transparent gain. If you want colour in pre amps then Neve 1073, BAE clones of neves, universal audio 6176 and other pres that are usually attempting to to emulate old neves really give you colouration pushing signal through transformers or tubes in the Universal audio 6176, la610 or solo 610. All fantastic while using them for several years. The funny thing about what you are saying about the conversion is why i liked the ssl6. I find the most important part of my chain to be the conversion and I think SSL opted for a basic good affordable conversion rather than putting higher end converters in it. I would not have bought the sslsix if it had a built in interface but i think the big 6 it solved problems for outsole who want that. You did well to make your changes.
Hey man, I appreciate you thank you
@TouchToneDSG keep doing your thing brother. I will support all of it!!
@@anthonyrock5039 thank you
Thank you for your video - I remember seeing your video when you just got it... I guess if you watch my recent video where I have reviewed SSL gear - specifically the difference between the SIX and BIG SIX - you may get some answers as to the quality.... Also, I hate computers for the music work - it is personal but I get distracted and confused with millions of possible options. I have worked it out for myself that I am better off in analogue domain (please note - I am just a hobbyist). Thanks for all your hard work and videos!
Hey man I'm really appreciative of you sharing this so in your opinion does the six sound better than the big six because I've heard that before
@@TouchToneDSG I surely prefer the sound of the SIX over the BIG SIX and it could be down to the converters that were built in to BIG SIX. As you can see from my set up - I am using SSL 12 but I am happy with it whereas the BIG SIX lacks depth and width as you have mentioned. Whilst I have the BIG SIX at my place I would try using it with SSL 12 instead of using on-board sound card - it would be interesting to hear the results... Let me know if you would like me to update you on my findings...

Seems to me you got a budget upgrade . Did the monitors really bring out the limitations you didn’t know were there ? Which came first , the ability to purchase or the realization of the limitations of the sound (more than I/o)
The limitations were first for sure
Hello - hello!
I own mine now for one year and I almost can understand every point that you said. At the moment all i use it for is to sum everything out on 11/12 and then run it to my outboardgear via the master-insert. You said it - "No-Recall" is really shit (which lead me to let the faders all at unity and just use EQ and Insertpoints). And also that there are no steroinserts - thats the biggest problem in my opinion (though you can youse the ext-cues to at least have one).
Soundwhise: I like the preamps for E-Guitars very much. Also for speaking (somtetimes more then my UA 611 or even the 1073). But yes: I wish that I took a modular rout like you do now - couse i think its more conveniant and therfore faster.
Greetings, Bernd
I couldn't agree with you more Yes we need more inserts on the stereo implants as well and recall is a nightmare but I must say I'm happy where I'm at now Thanks for the comment man
@@TouchToneDSG thanks for your content. I really like your videos! They are super informative and relaxed man 😎
@@thePunkRockMix thank you man I really do appreciate it That's the main reason I do it is for you guys I got something special coming for you folks stay tuned new video will be out next week
Weird I was thinking about buying one very soon. I wish it has more outputs and inputs and ADAT interface to connect to my UAD x8p.
Yes definitely more flexibility
$2700 vs $25000 worth of gear? This is literally a commercial with your affiliate links for that overprice gear you trying to sell.
Nailed it
Upon a paper review of the related hardware, I totally agree. The Aurora (n) supports 24/192KHz and it's modularity is pretty cool for growth. Also considering Flock's Patch to simplify & automate routing. I was anticipating you'd mention WesAudio's 16ch ngLeveler. With these 3 components, the setup of the session settings and mix can be automated. There's a decent choice of DAW controller's that'll handle the hands-on workflows. And then there's preamp/summing flexibility. Curious how you arranged the Patch IO. The Lynx can consume a lot of the channels on the Patch, so is 64 really enough for a 16 channel setup given pre, processing, and summing? Appreciate your point of view!
Hey man, I appreciate the comment so right now everything really works for me. I was looking at the NG leveler and that’s probably gonna be one of my next components that I do pick up the flexibility is unmatched in my opinion, and like you said pairing that with what I already have Would be a godsend. So my inputs and outputs are fairly straightforward. I have pretty much all of my hardware running to the patch and then out of the Aurora. I’m running into the D box back into the Aurora and with my hardware synthesizers and drum machines I have those running into the Phoenix audio DI box 8 channel which is also running into the Aurora so I have max flexibility with all of the good goowyness of hardware running back into my system

Exactly. This comes across kind of weird.
Great video. I have a Big Six. I mostly like it, however the strange limitation it has with Logic Pro is frustrating. With Logic you can't use analog inputs 1 & 2 unless you create an aggregate device. SSL blames Apple, but I've never seen that kind of limitation before.

They need to add tb passthrough (like UAD) or Madi to the next version so you can expand. What you and I have done is basically built our own big 12. And turned the quality up a notch to boot. Funny too how I hot my 1st Big six after watching your bid. But upgraded a few months later after adding more outboard and figuring out what you posted today. I think the best application for a big six is as a band practise room mixer. Dial in and track the rehearsal to capture any magic or happy mistakes.

Dope video for sure. As someone who's biggest gear purchase on a studio is a Focusrite 4i4 this looks beyond incredible 😂😅 😭 Glad you found something you feel comfortable with that'll also complement your workflow 👍🏼
Thank you man I really appreciate that and it's all good bro I've seen you play it's definitely the ear not the gear and you got talent for sure
@@TouchToneDSG thanks man that means a lot 🙏🏽 the tools don't make the artist, it's what he does with em 🔥
@@HeyChicano couldn't agree more
After Becoming Proficient at Mastering and Mixing, Im convinced that
Buying "Really Expensive Analog Gear" Opposed to having a full Arsenal of "Nebula Plugins" is a WASTE OF MONEY and Space' the Nebula Plugins are at least 90% to the Sound of the Hardware Units they are live analog sampled from ( They are almost Identical)
With that being said....Money and Studio Space.....Mixing down with nebula and then running that mix through "Affordable Mid Level Gear" is much SMARTER.... at this point im blowing out the water or matching VERY HIGH END STUDIOS......
My Quality is going so good...and so analog, open, and analog rounded sounding....I dont even care about buying PRICEY high end gear
That THEY refuse to make AFFORDABLE.......
Example
Pre Amps
My API Visionary Console (Line Mode)

Hey bro FYI there’s no such thing as conversion on an analog mixer only when a piece of equipment is digital does it have a conversion chip inside of it to make that digital signal into an analog signal
My mistake I didn’t know it was also an interface
@@LoftyMediaNetwork That's what I was going to say man it's an interface it's all good though
I enjoyed the video… The Big six is what it is… It’s clean, so you can do some things with it…You are really on a journey.. Your wife is going to be upset with you, because their are so many levels of this..Great choice with lynx conversion..It’s a solid piece.. I have lynx conversion along with merging technologies Anubis and hapi conversion which is another level… But, you are going to have to decide when enough is enough….Because it is easy to go down this expensive rabbit hole…
Hey man thanks for the great conversation I appreciate it without bashing me I'm pretty happy with my conversion and I don't see myself going anywhere anytime soon I know that rabbit hole can go deep and you have some really good stuff holy crap but that rabbit hole can get up on you so fast you don't even realize it like I said I'm very happy with what I have now and I just want to continue to make good music thank you
Love the channel. At my old studio I had a Trident Vector 432 with the Lynx Aurora (Digi HD2 at the time). I loved it! Now that just have a project studio, I have the SSL Big Six + 2x Craneborn 500 series interface(loaded with neve gear). Because the Big Six is so limiting, I need to create an aggregate audio device and combine the two! It's pretty frustrating. For now, it's fine. I wish I would have just spent double and gotten the XL-Desk or the 16 channel Looptrotter. Either of those would have forced me back into the Lynx interface, which would have been worth it. ... Like most people, I do prefer Neve or API pres. But I do like the "Six Logic" pres. They do sound "pro" to me. Probably more so than Trident pres do. Which I think says a lot!
Exactly man I couldn't agree more I was thinking about doing an aggregate device but I felt like down the line that will cause more headaches for me so I just sucked it up and then all in one solution that is modular so I can expand as I want it to That was a big part for me and I agree with you the pres sound pro but like I was saying they're at the beginning of that when you start getting into hiring preamps but I'm also aware that those higher end preamps cost the same or double as the whole big six

There was a time when SSL had market share, still do on major studios but not in this range and market. Mostly marketing unfortunately.
Agreed a major studios I think they are a staple just because of their boards which are absolutely incredible but here on a market to where you have pro semi-pro there's so many more options that are better
What converter will you use?
Right now I'm using the Lynx Aurora n and they are fantastic
I think where the big six shines is when you dont look at it as an interface. The conversion on there could definitely be better but nothing beats the speed of the analog workflow.
In my opinion get a good interface with good conversion like rme etc and use the big six like a console. Thats where its at
Great point
You definitely made the right move Bro! I couldn't agree more....feeling like your being limited doesn't really help nor feel inspiring....Can't wait to hear the 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 that comes out of there!!! Let's Gooooooo!!!!
Heck yeah bro let's go
The only thing I though was that you could use the stereo sends to create your 4 stereo's into two stereos with inserts... but in the end of the day I rather just get a used toft mixer
You know I think overall it's a good piece for most people but if you're competing in the mix world it's not you're going to get exposed quickly and I agree with you on the sends. Hopefully they can learn from this and the next version they can make much better but I would like to preface overall I think it's still a great piece though for most people
@TouchToneDSG is the problem and proof the most important part of your system is you entire monitoring setup
5 Months later😊
I had an opportunity I had to move man you know
Yo, T- what kind of hit did you take on the bigSix?
None at all actually I sold it edits Pete before it went on sale. I think I may took a ahead of 200 bucks.
@@TouchToneDSG ya - I got ahead of myself and I was moving out model 12.. watching a lot of CMP and I hopped on it- he got the 6..as u kno.. but on my build? this ain’t fittin in the Flo- I thought about keeping it as a keyboard summer but still.. kinda wasting the whole “idea” so to speak, of it.. it needs to be the center of the universe type thing.. I’m on a different journey ~
@@TouchToneDSG hope I don’t get hit too hard.. I might be trading it for a Bus+ hopefully
@@TouchToneDSG I see you tho bro 🙏🏼RESPECT all the way.. you got the right idea
Man hit me up on Instagram, bro TouchTone_dsg
Bro, nice Video but you explain why you sold the BiG Six, discuss its limitations, but have invested at least six to seven times more in other outboard gear. Surely you are now more satisfied with the audio quality 😜
But please name an outboard gear that performs similarly to the SSL Big Six, for the same price.. difficult to find…
I'm definitely more happy until your second point there is not one which will I still think it's a great option a fantastic option if that's what you want
Miss you bro! ❤ I’ll stick to the OG SIX mixer, for now.
Hey man it's all good That's why it's here for us to consume and try out different things it's all love bro
Goodstuff man, dumped mine too, not flexible enough
Yeah man I liked it for what it was but you quickly come to realize once your growth hits a certain spot it doesn't allow you to grow so you got to make other moves Thanks bro
Exactly bro, it was the word clock thing that did it for me not being able to route to an A/D and not enough inserts for outboard unless one serial chains etc.. missed how drums snapped on it though! well life goes on .. lol Cheers man!
@@khalilroukoz absolutely man I totally know what you're saying bro Thanks for the comment man
@@TouchToneDSG anytime bro ✌🏼🙏
Been on the fence about the Big Six or creating a Neve lunchbox with 542 tape emulators looking to spice up my Mpc beats
I still think the big six is a very viable option for most people especially if you're just using it for something like the MPC it's cool a lunch box will take you further depending on what you're trying to do just my opinion here if you're looking to add more color and punch then yes the lunch box but if you're looking for functionality and routing workflow with some decent pres The SSL Big 6 all day
An R10 coupled with 8x portico Comps and 8x Inductor EQs. 😅
@@infojunkie4989 That's a serious setup man
Console 1 is a fine option
I would totally agree I used to have the console one and the fader one but I moved on from them and sometimes I miss them
Very interesting
I think so too!
Just got mine. uh, oh...
You'll love it
Hi there! Cool vid BUT... :D
You are comparing apples and oranges imo. SSL BS mixer costs 2500$ and you blame the pre's(4x) for being flat or whatever, and then you do show off with your new pre's for 2500$ a pair :D c'mon dude, I thought you're more sophisticated with the subject.
Whole idea of SSL Big Six is totally far away from what you've presented. Nevertheless I admire your effort, keep going!
Btw, try Burl DA and you'll hear musicality ;)
5!
I totally agree with you That's why I made that point let me preface by saying I still think the SSL big six is really good and still brings a lot of value but I upgraded my monitoring and I heard it's limits which led me to sort out to get more higher in gear cuz I could hear it I think for most people the SSL Big 6 is a fantastic choice and will do well but for what I'm doing and where I want to go I hit its limits pretty quickly that's all and you're right I should have explain that point more Great call out and secondly the Burl is on the list 🤣🤣🤣
Truth is quite simple y’all…. NOTHING changed here. No super skills, not the monitoring showing flaws in the B6, nothing except our man here got ‘mo money’ so had more options. You spend (much) more and you have more options with less compromises. My RND rig cost 15x what the B6 did. Is it better…. Well In should damn well hope so! Does not diminish the Big Six in any way - and neither does those video really. You still won’t assemble a better collection of parts for 2.5 than you get in a single box with the SSL unit. Heck with RND a MBP+MBC already costs 3x a Big six and you only have 2. Channels!….. in another 12 months there’ll be another vid moving from mid to some high end pres and strips. Not why anyone would want or expect ‘vibe’ from an SSL pre though. They have never been known for that. Only clean and low noise. Very transparent and present. The vibe channels would be RND shelford, Manley Core, Avalon, Hendy, Or Chandler THMC.
@@infojunkie4989 I agree with that Business picked up and I started getting higher in clients and it got competitive in the big six couldn't keep up with my needs but it still doesn't take away from what it is I think it's still a fantastic unit like I said it's just certain things that I noticed that we're limited and I outgrew those limits if we're talking bang for buck it's still one of the best units out there if not the best for that price range flexibility wise depending on what you want to do it's still one of the best but there are certain tiers of quality and it was the lowest tier in my studio and I had to move on Thanks for the comment
@@TouchToneDSG fantastic to hear your business picked up. Congrats! You did the wise thing and invested. I don’t make my living in this game. For me it is a hobby/passion. Keep up the good work and keep posting. Love your enthusiasm and presentation style.
@@infojunkie4989 Hey man I really appreciate that and thank you a lot of people don't understand that point of view but that's okay maybe it's not meant for them to
Your gear comparisond to Big six make no sense. The Api pre you showed cost as much as the Big Six. The aurora as well. You have to be more reasonable with similar cost 6:27 comparisoms. I have the Big Six and agree with several of your points. Why did you buy a clean board? If you wanted color you go Neve or api. In its price point I havent found another mixer with interface, some comps and bus comp. I added an ssl fusion and api 2500+ and that helps a lot for color, width and depth. Just my .02
Appreciate the comment
I would advice anyone...."Gear Drooling at the Mouth right now" just to upgrade your Computer....your insterface...get a 2 or 3 unites of "Affordable Analog Gear" and get Nebula and Acustica Audio...Plugins....mix down with those...add vocals and run that through your gear....and your mixes will sound just as good as "What He Has" Again...not hatin....happy for you bro....just sayin...you can get that same Quality for a Fraction of the cost and space in your studio......
You should make a video about it and show everyone
Gona give you an Update Bro...hope this helps you and anyone else on here....
After Becoming Proficient at Mastering and Mixing, Im convinced that

thats every bit....of $150 worth of nebula Plugins
for at least $30,000 worth of analog gear
Hey I appreciate the perspective Thanks
Been down that road . It’s called GAS 😂
I don’t have it I promise
I explained why in this video Inside the Ultimate Hybrid Studio: Where Creativity Meets Technology!
ruclips.net/video/0FZNRxoQBFw/видео.html
The new brass at SSL are trying to get big sales from the little man or woman in the consumer bedroom studio and prosumer markets buyers beware
I couldn’t agree more
Not Hatin...but everything you named...and folks can get mad...attack this comment...Ive got live analog Sampled with Nebula and Acustica Audio...that I use WITH/ my analog outbored gear......
Im jsut lauging at "Every Home Producer" thats gullable enough to pay full price for those items....
Example (Your SSL Fusion) Ive got Nebula's Alex B's Pres Colors and Saturation....I can slap 2 of those on ($25) Plugin with N4 Player....($350) and put one on Rupart Neve Silk and the other on SSL (Drive High) and have the "Same Sound, Depth, warmth and vibe...) $325 instead of $2800
No hatin at all man thanks for sharing
I knew it......its a rip off...LOL.....for a little more.....add $2000 and now you can have......you can get the SSL 2 Bus + and the Fusion or do a Craborn......and put the Reall SSL Moduals in it........
All good though
Seems what you want is an Origin
I wouldn't be mad at that 😅
Limiting? Beatles had 4 channels . . . just sayin
Compared to what we have nowadays I'm not talking about the '60s but I get it
He said “It’s 2023” lol, I guess my bank account didn’t get the Memo! I should spend more thousands for even better converters and preamps for this hobby that makes me smile in self satisfaction. Joking…but yeah I think if I did get this I would be just fine.
Yeah I say that in a video man I just want a different route for most people this will be just fine
Gas
💯💯
hahahahhaha so funny
💯
do you just spent a lot of money is what i saw...
Thanks for the comment
What did you replace it with
The Lynx Aurora n interface
So you lied in your previous SSL Big Six vids and this is why people don’t take these reviews seriously
How did I lie bro
This is going to be interesting assuming that you actually watch this video and my points about it but please explain yourself since you're going to publicly call me a liar
