On the system at my place of work usually with the Waves SSL 4000 E.

Strapping a channelstrip plugin on all audio, VI, FX returns and buses. Longer answer I've been using the 'Console Mind Set' approach for at least the last five years now. the newer "SSL 4000 E" that replaced it, so if those have been addressed then I'm leaning towards Brainworx. Less focus put into modeling of drive/THD (I haven't explicitly read that, but it seems like the vibe I get from reading reviews)Īny thoughts on which one would be the better buy to do mixes with? It seems that some of the complaints about BX Console might have actually been from the regular "E" version vs. Controls tend to 'snap' to nearby parameters when releasing the mouse No channel compressors (although it sounds like Mode C might be suited well to individual channels because of its faster attack times) Shape modulation for compressor response seems versatile Uses dynamic convolution modeling technology which supposedly sounds extremely authentic TMT technology can make 'learning' each channel a tedious process, especially when it comes to how aggressively the EQ cuts and boosts and what frequencies are actually affected (I know you don't have to use this feature but it seems like one of the main distinctive features of the plugin) Some say the compressors (I know you can select G model too) are too polite and doesn't have the snap of real SSL comps EQ is supposed to sound quite good although it is perhaps tricky to set because of how aggressive it is

TMT technology can make mixes seem wider and richer with modeled channel variations Would anyone care to weigh in on their preference between these two plugins?įrom what I've read, it seems like these are some of the potential pros/cons: I've done a lot of research and I think I've narrowed it down to these 2 plugins (I suppose I'd consider bx_console SSL 4000 G too but I think I'd prefer E since I generally mix high energy rock music). I'm in the market for an SSL style channel strip plugin to serve as the framework for the majority of my mixing.
