I bought this, and I absolutely love it. Sounds better than any plugin I ever owned. Only problem is, that even though I just bought an Apollo 16 a few months ago, I can only run a few of these until my DSP limit is maxed out. A stereo instance of this, eats 70% of a DSP, and the Apollo 16 is only a Quad. Yes, true modeling takes a lot of DSP, but when it seems my brand new Apollo 16 is out-of-date right out of the box. And it kills my urge to buy more plugins now. I would be really nice if UAD came up with some sort of special offer to buy extra DSP for new customers.
They're running a special now for the quad satellite for $699 or octo satellite for $999. $500 off until June 30th I think. I feel your pain cause I'm only running a Apollo twin duo lol. You can also try disabling dsp loadlock to save more dsp.
I had to buy an OCTO to run this and the AMS properly, but given I'm simulating a state of the art 80s studio for that money I don't think it's too bad. Only the UAD plugs get there in terms of real quality - the 1176 compressor is the same too. I'm happy but as ever in music it costs money. As long as the clients keep on paying it all works out....
@musicmediaproductions which ones do you find run many of them without that much cpu, i have all of them except this one, and i doubt i am gonna buy it now if its using 70%cpu
Love ssl! Juat wish this plugin was bigger, very fiddlly - would love it to get updated with a/b, undo, sidechain, and most importantly the values on the knobs! For now waves and ssl native are my alternatives for now because of this
The Mix sounds flat. It is something like when you are selling Sauce, and when you add Sauce to rice, bread, chicken , milk just to demonstrate that you have a good sauce.
I'm interested in the "You could/can" verbiage. It seems like Andy at Pro Guitar Shop has pioneered the "You could" language, now other people are using it. It doesn't seem like proper English to me, but it has a distinct flavor.
What's up with the mix in this track? I get that it had to be edited down to five minutes of video, but that doesn't mean you had to speed run the demo mix

By default the attack is program dependent and ranges between 3ms - 30ms depending on the signal being compressed. There's also a fixed 'fast' attack mode that sets the attack time to 3ms.
how NOT to demonstrate a plugin. all that talk about the realism of an SSL console in the apollo & then your actual mix demonstration sounds like garbage. washed out, muddy & phase cancelled.
adding these plug ins makes it sound really small. either thre recording is really bad or something went rong. the drums sound really bad and overkompressd. this video is defenetly garage level.

This channel strip destroys competition. The sound of this plugin is outstanding.
💪🏻
Great Strip for Zoom meetings. You would sound like NPR radio in the meeting and everyone will ask how you got that voice LOL.
👍
So you can use the "sound effects" live, and not only in recordings? :D

Fingers crossed this one will go native UADx as soon as possible
Mannnnnnnnnnnnn this is the one plug-in I’m waiting on in native uadx
I don’t think that’s happening with SSL comin out with 360 and the new interfaces
the bypassed sound weak and engaged sound more weak in the final mix...
Yes i agrre with you, bad mix imho
Such a bad mix. Also, SD was so choked that it lost all punch and nuances.
Thought I was the only one, reason I'm in the comment section.

yeah, snare sounds weak as shit
I think it sounds cool. I dig.
Hi, should this go in the beginning of my effects chain, or in the end?
Beginning.
I'm interested in the "You could/can" verbiage. It seems like Andy at Pro Guitar Shop has pioneered the "You could" language, now other people are using it. It doesn't seem like proper English to me, but it has a distinct flavor.
I already own the SSL E series channel strip but do I have to buy another one to get the unison plugin? Thanks
hey :-) I did this too.. Upgraded for like 100 usd from the legacy to the new unison enabled plug.
What the fuck?

There is no attack knob in the compressor section. Does anyone know why?
By default the attack is program dependent and ranges between 3ms - 30ms depending on the signal being compressed. There's also a fixed 'fast' attack mode that sets the attack time to 3ms.

Hi, can I adjust the gain of the incoming sound from the vst with this plugin? I'm new, learning the different between input and output gain. Thanks.
Sure, there's a Line Input trim knob at the top if the GUI.
Universal Audio thank you.
Our pleasure!
thanks but remove the background music in future clips.
Like tracking vocals with this plug in

I love this plugin. And uad products overall. But goodness, de-ess your voice over, my guy. This video is ear abuse.
SOUND BAD!!!!!!! NOT GOOD
