    We have a very exciting video for you today! About a year ago, I tried the SSL plugins for the first time. These plugins emulate the sound of the SSL consoles and give you that great analog sound using just a plugin. Now, they have added another plugin to this series: the SSL 9000J. When the original console first came out in the mid-90s, many people had one! It became almost the ultimate console for mixing R&B/pop/hip-hop.
    Today, we are going to be trying out the new SSL9000J plugin! I will use it on the end of a chain in my DAW and mirror what would happen on the SSL.
    The Solid State Logic (SL)9000J is an analogue mixing console from Solid State Logic that was first released in 1995. This console retained the control surface recognizable by any recording engineer familiar with SL 4000, 6000, or 8000 series system. SSL calls the technology used on the 9000, “Superanalogue”, as no capacitors are used throughout the audio path, creating a clean, yet distinct sound.
    Now, Brainworx has recreated the sound of behavior of that original SSL 9000J console, so you can get the unique sound of that technology in your own home. Developed in collaboration with SSL, this plugin uses Brainworx’s patent-pending Tolerance Modeling Technology (TMT) to simulate channel-to-channel variances in electronic components in order to create the most realistic analogue sound.
    This incredible new plugin also features a wide variety of unique functions. The adjustable THD allows you to add colorful saturation independently to each channel. With continuously variable Virtual Gain, you can add simulated analogue noise on each channel independently as well. Other fantastic features include optional extended Equalizer ranges, parallel compression, and many more.
    With a scalable UI, you can adjust the SSL 9000J plugin and adapt it to your screen size and workflow. The plugin comes loaded with tons of useful presets that will give you somewhere to start when looking for your perfect sound.

    I recorded a lot of film scores on the 4000 in New York and then scores like "Three Kings" on the 9000J (mostly at Warner scoring in Burbank). For my needs, the 9000J is light years ahead of the 4000 for clarity and flexibility. Thanks for this video!

    A few weeks ago I mixed multitracks from the academy, 72 channels, and on each instance the 9000J, it sounded so good in a fraction of time, btw if you use this many tracks, and you press the random button you get a full console. The only thing that costed more time was adding the plugins on each track. So the experiment went very well. And at the end the Townhouse Buss compressor. Since you did this review I use this plugin on some tracks, where I need a combination from gate, compression and EQ, my first choice is always this plugin. Even I have all the SSL plugins and other channel strips in my toolbox. Plugin Alliance nailed this one for sure. And thanks again to provide multitracks, so I and many others who can exercise mixing skills.

    I know this is kinda an old video at this point, but I recently got into the SSL-plugins after sticking with API for a long time. The Brainworks seem to have created a great version. To me it sounds a lot cleaner and clearer than what the Waves and the UAD SSL-types I've tried. Great demo, Warren.
    Also, that girl in the first song can really sing. It's so refreshing hearing a powerful female vocal that's not just a little girl whisper washed in a ton of reverb. This woman had power and freaking attitude, LOVE IT!

    Thank you for this review Warren ! I own all Plugin-Alliance/Brainworx consoles and love them all, especially the SSL 4K E, G. I got this 9000 J the minute is was out.
    One thing me and some others weren't certain about in the past is how well they were able to emulate the COMPRESSOR section of the board, especially the F (fast attack) and threshhold slammed, where the hardware really responded differently than the plugin (shoot out tests videos on youtube). Here in this short demo you actually did slam it for a second and it sounded incredible ! Could you just comment as to how well, in your opignon, they were able to emulate the compressor section on this SSL 9K J ???
    As for the rest, it sounds amazing. I can hardly wait to mix and produce with this new console.
    Keep up the great work and videos and everything you are doing for we thank you so very much !

      Hi Mickey Mess Studios I love this plug in! Everything has that spank and sheen that expect from an SSL! It’s definitely a little more HiFi than my 4000, which is probably why R&B and Pop guys love it! I’m excited to try an even more detailed comparison of my console completely in hybrid!

  • @danielkisel5661
    @danielkisel5661 4 ปีที่แล้ว +9

    Nice video!
    This is my new go to Channelstrip plugin!
    To be honest you didn't even try (at least not in the video) E settings on eq and also this little thd knob next to V-Gain which adds some odd harmonic distortion that is disabled by default on Bx_Console SSL9000J, but enabled on Bx_Console SSL4000E and G, so if you want to get closer to a 4000 sound you should check them out as well.
    Also tbh this dynamics section is way better than in other models from Bx consoles 4000E and G, and the peak button next to ratio is great!
    Well done Brainworx and Michael, cheers!

  • @Bring_MeSunshine
    @Bring_MeSunshine 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

    Curse you Red Baron, I've been in one of those needed phases at the moment, where I've decided I have enough plugins, including channel strips, and considered it would benefit me more if I started to really get to know more of them better; limiting the palette of choice can be very creative way to get your ears working. Add to that, I've rather burnt up a lot of cash in the previous 3 months. So now when I get emails from all these plugin manufacturers, I delete them, happy in the knowledge that I'm saving money and I have enough to get good results. Then you come along with your silky high end and your enhanced low end, and I'm hearing it and saying to myself, 'wow, that does sound quite nice'. All of a sudden, I get gear-envy, again, and think, I'd like that. You're ruining my plugin detox. Stay well, stay safe

    @MarshallorFender 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I just bought this plug-in. Interesting story…. In 2003 I had aspirations to become a mixing engineer/producer. I called around to studios in Chicago and talked with their engineers. At the time they all seemed a bit jaded about the home studio craze that was just starting up. “Don’t get into studio work because so many people are trying to build home studios. But they all sound like garbage.” Is exactly what I was told by all the studios. That honestly lead me to reconsider and I ended up in the corporate world.
    I wonder if the same people in 2003 think the plug-in’s of today are good. Plug-ins have come very far from the early 2000’s and there are more and more engineers using plug-in’s over hardware.
    You can now get a $300 Focusrite AI, and a Neumann TLM 103 and produce radio ready vocals with plug-ins. Wasn’t that way back then. Plus drum samples from Superior Drummer or other.??… everything has really been taken up a tenfold of notches.

  • @KeithMarvK
    @KeithMarvK 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    The proper(perhaps best) way to use the TMT channel emulations is to insert the effect on EVERY channel across your mix, then for each channel select a different tolerance modeling number(TMT) up to 72 channels. There should be an option to automatically assign the channels when doing this.
    The 72 emulations are to give you the subtle differences in each physical channel strip like a real mixer does. In a physical console, while every channel is built identically, they are still physical parts and thus can have tiny differences in circuitry/response.
    The channel emulations will produce a cumulative effect. The effect won't be realized using it on fewer channels.

    • @michaelharmon8731
      @michaelharmon8731 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      There's a "One" button and an "All" button right below the word "Random Channel". You can instantly change all instantiations of the plugin in your mix to random TMT channel numbers, or just the one you're looking at. Nice feature, but I agree it would be better if it would automatically assign the next sequential TMT channel number automatically when you instantiate each time.

    Holy shit, I got the SSL 4000E and wasn’t sure about buying another SSL channel strip but this was totally worth it (especially on sale rn), what a gorgeous sound. I was just playing with it on drums and it blew me away how different this channel strip is compared to the 4000, but I’m very pleased. There’s def some magic in there. I think I might even like the 9000 more than the 4000 and that was probably one of my favorite plugins.

    • @RealHomeRecording
      @RealHomeRecording ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Warren hasn't responded yet so I will.
      When I'm using plugins on tracks that were not recorded in a professional studio, I like to pretend like there is a two-stage process.
      First the recording which in a professional studio would entail equalizers and compressors first. So typically I'll use an API or Neve equalizer going into something like a 1176, LA-2A, Distressor or dbx 160.
      One last effect I may try is saturation. Whether it be tube, transformer, opamp or something else, if attract demands a little bit more character then that's where a plugin like this will go in the chain.
      Finally, back in the day studios recorded to tape, which adds a little bit more compression and saturation. So after that plugin the SSL 9000J will go on.

    Thanks for this, Warren. Watching on a Thursday morning before my wife wakes up. 😂 I’ll be itching to go play with a mix all day now (I have the trusty ole’ Waves SSL4000 stuff). Saw some things in your video here that I want to try, specifically the way you were dealing with the bass, and I want to see if I can overdrive the Waves SSL Channel strip like you did here. I never tried that even though I’ve had the plugins for years. Today we’ll see. Cheers from Prague!

    Hey W, I have been mixing all my new songs on a 8 bus group system with the 9000, like drums, bass, guitars, keys and vocals, i grew up on analog desks, and this plugin gives me the vibes, sounds so good, but the compressor is interesting, I haven't found my way with it completly (it has its own thing) theres those other modes, is P like automatic ratio and F (those led light buttons) Fast release? other than that, I really love it, i don't have to do much, just shine and balance and shaping, all the work is done on the channels before it hits the 8 bus groups mostly, but essentially a 8x SSL mixer kinda approach, lets me tune into a great mix i feel so far...I really musically connect to the sound of it, the virtual circuits are neat. cool cool

    As always your videos are awesome. Thanks for all the great stuff you share. I wonder though isn't he whole point of an analog desk more about workflow and speed? Sure, a plugin may sound like a console channel but you won't be able to replicate the speed and general overview of your mix that you get with a physical console sitting in front of you. Having said that I wonder why we still use analog interfaces on computer screens ? As someone who actually works on a real console does this make your life easier or would it be better if you had an interface where you can see the eq curve and frequency analysis etc...

      It is subtle. What it does is give you a bunch of plugins in one, and some analog color. So you end up using fewer plugins. Many tracks will just need the knobs on the strip. Or just the color the strip itself brings.
