SSL’s software designers really sweat the details and that puts the Live in a category of 1 for user friendliness. I really appreciate that. Anyone who’s struggled with any other digital console will be overjoyed by the clarity of the UI. Particularly noteworthy are the drag and drop configuration, wide use of double-tap, and the Query button. Brilliant and just what we need.
I got to play with one of these a few months back. This thing is sick! 96/24 on a 64bit system!!! I think this may be a SD7 killer. Plus it put basically all of their Duende Plug-Ins (and then some) in the FX rack, which has its own DSP. They were smart to use slider controls instead of visually accurate representations of the effects…faster and not needed. The only thing is the learning curve. There's so many ways to operate the console, one could get a brain freeze trying to remember all of them early on. I gravitated towards the Channel Tile. The level of customization, control and metering (you can meter and name the XLR inputs separately from the digital channels) is on Death Star levels!
It's a Digico killer in general at this point. The same company that owns Digico just bought SSL about a month or two ago. I think the plan is to take one or two pieces of tech from the Digico line and use them on future SSL consoles. But Digico will probably be folded. I think some of their manufacturing capability may be utilized for SSL, as SSL is a very small company. But Digico just can't hang with what the SSL Live series offers.
This is an amazing console! I'm currently working with the Behringer x32 and there is obviously no need for a comparison ;) Btw. great video touching everything in a short but delightful manner!
They're both highly customizable toys. When you switch from analogue to digital, these are no longer mixers but computers with a learning curve. I'd love to work even with an x32 instead of my dinosaur. The last time i played with an SSL L550, I was speechless that it exists.
Question: What is the max inputs you ever had to use at a live gig? And how many you think you'll ever have to use simultaneously? Cause i really don't see the need for 976 ins and outs.
Not sure about the inputs, but for high-level broadcast situations there are a LOT of seperate mixes. A few years ago the NFL Draft had almost 200 mixes for different TV channels, venue speakers, cues for commentators & their crew…etc etc
The console is beautiful, and the software looks like it provides lots of good info on the fly. However, it doesn't look like something that would be easy to use on the fly in a live setting. Not enough hardware controls of the things you need most.
Probably because it's specially designed and optimized for live performance purpose? Just like what its name indicates. Another product line, System T, might be more suitable for recording studios as well as TV stations.

after I learn how to use it in this life I might be able to start using it in the next.

LordNotice behringer vs midas vs ssl ? you prefer? for the best in the price
@@BagusWibisono Behringer
X32 is aimed at a completely different market but is a great mixer for price.
Are all live mixers like this an all digital path, is anything analogue?

Awesome Consoles
I still love the Allen & Heath iLive. Just right for what ever level u mix at
Does this have a real SSL G Comp (like Lexicon/ DBX in Soundcraft) or is it a plugin Version
Related to the Rivage PM10 from Yamaha
I love the console layout!!! but how flexible is the automation/scene recall? If this thing is any good for theater I have a new dream machine...
yea I understand the digico T software is pretty hard to beat. I don't think stagetec is all that common in the US.

What ? Do you not place 127 mic on a snare ?
Pfff noob
calling me noob? i mic my kick with 12 mics yo
12???
wow-big sound..;)
i use one right placed,thats enough
We have these where I work... I mix monitors... We run about 150 inputs.

How many XLR imputs can handle from stageboxes?

AVdude do you think this is not a friendly console?
why u put faders where a screen should be?
So does it have a stage mix rack via cat5/6 or are we talking analog multicore (900 + inputs, I'd like to see that cable! Ha ha.)
Over fibre I believe. Can't remember if HMA or..
cool spaceship bro
He actually said designed by human being for humans beings
... So why not using this in the studio ?? this is cheaper than other options and sound excellent ! with the addition of a Soundgrid Waves Server ...

Does this console have an automix?
Why are you using corsair power supplies?
I noticed that 😂
how much does it cost
why in 80`s and 90`s live recording shows sound better then nowadays ?
Strange because Waves graphism is more réalistic for a old SSL' Too much buttons for me.
One day this will be mine even if i have to sell a kidney, until then i'll stay with my UAD interface
How much is it?
How much this Console?
