This is why I like your channel you are a no BS kind of guy you tell it like it is I like that as for this plug in it does sound good does it's job but I agree not worth the price they are selling it for. Keep up the great work Dave till next time stay safe

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

I appreciate that, thanks!

[@Mitsch76]

Wow, pretty good review! I like how you put things to a simple resume. Totally understandable and I agree with every word you said. I got this plugin for 35$ in Sale these days. Lucky me ;-)

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ElcanaldeReyesManuel]

Excelente trabajo

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching!

[@teashea1]

You have a nice style of presentation - good video

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thank you very much!

[@FreakinOutOnAudio]

Good video, lots of content. However, for a processor like this, might be a good idea to exaggerate your settings beyond what you're hearing in the studio. TH-cam does weird things to the highs sometimes, making it hard to hear.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for the tips!

[@MarvelJAM]

Thanks for the review. I picked it up on sale. Luckily, SSL is putting each module on sale one by one. If not, I would have not purchased this one as you cannot influence a frequency range as far as I can tell from the demonstration.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Good call!

[@deltamirror2010]

Nice reviews for beginners like me.
Question. SSL is selling these right now( October, 2022) for about 30-35 USD, one per week.
Personally, I’ve been buying their native ones when in similar steep sales( about 20-30 each, give or
take) These are obviously very personal decisions, but picked the vintage drive, skipped the EQ, but I really like this HF, which just entered its sale week. Might get the stereo one as well.
So. Any thoughts, feelings on them as useful in a less than total combo, but at more realistic prices, as they’ve obviously gotten the message

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Personally, at $30 each I would have them all and set them up and use them like the hardware counterpart.

[@deltamirror2010]

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy Thank you. As you know, they did the same thing with several of the native x plug-ins a few months back. I picked the channel strip and buss comp,the x-sat, flexverb, drum and vocal strip for around these prices. Now they’re doing it with these fusion modules. I’m sure they’ll be back for the holidays as well.
Very good presentations!

[@humorustrout.]

the SSL native buss compressor is excellent, pick it up if you get the chance

[@srwaite7]

I use the SSL monthly subscription plan. Seems like better value as you say 👍🏻

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Totally agree!

[@audiokemestry]

Great review. Definitely doesn't appear to be worth $200...particularly given the limited feature set. The DMG Essence is a waaaaay better investment if you are looking for a very versatile high quality HF limiter/de-esser (and it does way more than that). Soothe 2 is also great.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Totally agree!

[@LukeGibsonSS]

So what does this do that a multiband compressor couldn't? Is it doing anything unique?

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

it's far simpler to use and undersatnd

[@hajianekena6909]

hey! i see you have many DAW, but why you always use Studio one? its just a question not a reproche :) peace

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Because its the best DAW in my opinion by a long shot and most of my audience uses Studio One

[@hajianekena6909]
