    Today, we are reviewing a brand new plugin by Waves, the SSL EV2.
    I know SSL's quite well; I mix on a 4000 and have made many records on this console and many others around the USA and the UK when I lived there, so this is going to be interesting. I have very high hopes for the SSL EV2, because the recent reiterations they have done, like the CLA Mix Hub, have been a great step up!
    The SSL EV2 is a brand-new recreation of the legendary SSL 4000E console channel strip, which they have made with full cooperation and authorization from Solid State Logic. Its new features include the original SSL ‘O2’ Brown EQ and the console’s richly saturated mic pre and line inputs, SSL EV2 delivers a new level of analog depth and detail - an elevated take on the timeless SSL sound.
    SSL EV2 comes loaded with over 600 presets - including hundreds of presets by Grammy®-winning producers and mix engineers: Jacquire King, Stuart White, Joe Barresi, Lu Diaz, Dave Pensado, Rich Costey, Jack Joseph Puig, and many more.
    The SSL EV2 Includes:
    * Brand new modeling of the classic SSL 4000E console channel strip
    * Authorized by Solid State Logic
    * New level of analog depth, richness and detail
    * New: Switch between the iconic Brown (O2) and Black (242) knobs
    * New mic pre/line section for rich harmonic saturation
    * Place Dynamics before or after EQ for more creativity and control
    * 600+ presets by Grammy®-winning producers and mixers: Jacquire King, Stuart White, Joe Barresi, Dave Pensado, Lu Diaz, many more

    Hey Warren Please do the all SSL-style plugins shootout!!! I've been looking forward to it quite a while. With the release of the SSL EV2, it would be so great to see the sonic qualities and the "sound" each one imparts on a mix! Surely, they all have sharing characteristics with the SSL desks, but each one is different. Even the old SSL Waves plugin is way different than the CLA Mixhub. Not in a good or a bad way though. It would be nice to check how each one reacts to different sources!

    So this came out yesterday, I watched a bit and then left it for today to make sure I could watch it in sections so I could pay attention. Then this morning I started watching it more seriously and while listening to the song I was thinking "oh! Great song I could listen to this all day." Now it's the end of the day and between watching this in my living room when not tracking in my studio, I kind of did watch it all day. Really good demo of the plug in Mr. Huart. You make me play better. I'm very thankful to have your videos available.

    After getting the SSL 4000 bundle from Waves I was hesitant to get the SSL EV2 but I decided to take a chance. I am very thankful I did. The EV2 just feels right when I use it, it gives me the feedback I am looking for when dialing things in and the difference between the Black and Brown knobs is quite distinct, really nice feature they added there. My mix chains have been seriously simplified after getting this, I don't know why but I can get everything I need with very little additional plugins. Thanks for the video!

    The Waves plugins are pretty awesome and not very taxing on the system. When UAD came out I got the SSL channel strip and the Neve channel strip. They were good but used alot of DSP and were limiting in that sense. Sounded great but maybe UAD do not dominate the market anymore and Waves being able to run native and DSP makes them a very serious plugin maker thats more than affordable. Great video, cheers

It made my life much easier when mixing old school material. :-) Its a much more analog feel to it. So thank you wery much for this eye opener for me. I had tossed it in the bin but give the pluggin a new chans and now i am very happy for that.

      Hi Gray, yes, indeed, there is a lot of misleading information! So much of what is best is song dependent. Sometimes a bass breathing sounds great, other times it has to be locked down and undynamic. In this instance it made sense to let it breath quite a lot.

    I LOOOOVE this thing. I have the 9000J channel which I also love and it almost convinced me to get an actual mixing board. The EV2 has convinced me thoroughly. That EQ solo button has been the wheelchair I so desperately needed to work strictly on a console-type plug-in. Now the only "outboard" stuff I use is on the master bus and other instrument busses or sub mixes. I use the EV2 on the individual channels just like a console...until my mixer arrives!
    PS~ Now that I've had a crack at the multitracks I have to say that in spite of following along with the video, this is a moderately difficult mix!. The electric guitar, piano, and vocals fight for space and it took some serious negotiations. In the end it all worked out beautifully without sounding like a carbon copy. Thanks for sharing!

      I was using old waves SSL e channel mixing drums. Just got the new version and copied the settings to compare. I could not hear any difference. I accidentally set different threshold on the toms and thought this is different. It was a small difference on threshold level so proves can hear small differences with what I'm listening through. Then noticed and set them the same and back to can't hear any difference. This is good for the old version using older modeling technology. I could not hear difference. Wasn't doing anything extreme so there could be differences didn't pick up with how I was using it. I do like the brown EQ on the kick. I wouldn't rush to get new one thinking old one is inferior. I don't think it is. New features are good though. But if got NLS that does the line or mic input and has SSL modeled. But can't go wrong with sale price or if can get free update.

    I love how you say more and more times that the red light (clipping) isn't bad if it doesn't sounding bad. You can clip everywhere, clipping it's a sort of a saturation. If you try to hit the "mic" button very hard, you will hear it's distorting as hell without clipping. IT'S JUST HOW IT SOUNDS. A few days ago, I found myself clipping a kick to get his punchiness out, and it worked perfectly fine. Leave some dbs on the master and you're fine. Love from Italy✌🏻

    It's very interesting watching Waren mix. I do almost everything differently and by seing this, I don't like what I end up with. Deffinitely have to change something. Anyway, the second mix is more like my taste. More mellow, smooth and warmer than the first one which is more HiFiish... brighter and more polished. I wouldn't mind if my stuff sounded like the second mix at all. Great stuff!

    Hey Warren, I was curious as to why you didn’t use the Bell Curve function on any of the instances of the plugin (unless I missed it). Even though everything is a use case scenario, when would using a bell curve on an ssl be a good idea? I was expecting the overuse of the shelf eq to muddy up the mix, but was surprised at the results!
    Watching you being aggressive with the knobs actually taught me a lot. I have a bad habit of trying to not do too much, which I guess isn’t always a terrible thing. Now there’s room to experiment! Thanks for the great content!

    There's around 20 % frequency shift in SSL EV2 when switching EQ mode from Black to Brown and vice -versa . I confirm this behavior testing the plugin in plugindoctor and compared it to SSL J9000 and Oxford SSL channel strip 2 - the frequency response of SSL EV2 is not even close. I don't know what exactly endorsed SSL but Waves version definitely needs some work.

    It's CLA mix hub with a distortion option added and no buckets or Bluey. It's been tested. The EQs are not giving you the frequencies it says so you think it sounds different in a shoot out, kinda snake oil. The two EQs are just different curves, but with some tinkering can likely be made to null, so it's really one EQ...from CLA mix hub.

    Warren, I know you often mentioned with the G Bus Compressor that the issue was low end and there was always something extra you had to do in order to retain the low end so the compressor doesnt suck it out. You may or may not be aware...SSL's recent production line of G Bus Compressors have the side chain filter so you can now manage the low end. This is the hardware (the 500 series) annnnd...UAD latest G Bus compressor also has this function. My point is...it would be awesome if Waves could make this update as well on their G Series Bus compressor. Anyway...I hope this comes as good news as it now means one can get the great SSL G bus compressor sound as well as ease if use when retaining/managing low end.

    Im still learning my plugin alliance SSL plugins and after a few months don’t quite have the hang of the features. I often just use it for warmth and don’t do much of anything with it besides sending the signal through the circuits and adjusting the circuits. I often have the red light peaking and am never sure if it should be or not. I like the sound when it does but find myself lowering input so it doesn’t because I’m afraid I’m getting digital clipping which is never that nice. Now. When i used to have outboard gear and mixers(Only had Mackies) I used to distort channels all the time on drums for more oomph. Im new to using analogue SSL emulations so I’m just not clear what the emulation of circuits is really doing. Thanks for the detailed demo on how you use the plugin.

  • @Polentaccio
    @Polentaccio 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'd love to see a comparison of plugin eq used on an older console vs hardware to see if the analog circuitry of a neutral desk, adds the " 3d" quality back into the sound when you sum or mix physically on the board. Plugins are getting much better these days that i'm curious. Seems to me this is sort of a poor man's McDSP. If I had hardware eqs i'd try it out on my old Ramsa board.
