Plugin Alliance Console Series - EPISODE 1
In this video we will cover every aspect of these plugins. Even if you are a complete beginner, this video will get you to PRO.
We'll cover the Filters, Compressor, Expander, EQ, Dynamic Side-Chain, TMT, and all of the other controls. We even dive in to how compression works, how EQ works, how TMT works etc... So no matter your level of experience, this video is for you.
In fact, most of the concepts in this video are applicable to all channel strip plugins, compression plugins, EQ plugins, gate plugins, and more. Once you learn how these things work, you can apply that knowledge to every other plugin - even plugins from other companies! (i.e. Waves, iZotope, etc...)
We'll also go into some techniques and tricks you can do with these plugins, like auto Ducking, De-essing, or giving movement to a static track with the Key input.
EVERYTHING is covered in this video.
Inject some analog goodness into your tracks with the Brainworx SSL 4000 E and SSL 4000 G.

This is such an absurdly well done tutorial. Plugin alliance should just do all of their customers a favor and put a direct link to this video from their 4000 G and E product pages.
Plugin Alliance should pay you for doing this tutorial! Very well explained, thanks for that!
I'm always down for money 🤣
Thanks for watching.
probably the best guide to mixing on youtube
This is superb. Such an impressive guide to how these two plugins work. The best on TH-cam. Thank you.
Great tutorial man! Not only on this plugin but on eq and compression in general. Awesome job, keep it up!
Absolutely amazin, just what I needed to understand the ins and outs of my G. Keep up the good work my friend.
I just picked up the SSL G & E plugins. This tutorial is simply amazing! So much better than reading boring manuals haha. Thanks for putting in the effort, man! Bless!
Brilliant! Not only great tips about the actual plugin / strip, but also about mixing in general. A million thanks!
Man, that is such a great tutorial. I love the little images, helps a lot to focus on the essentials. Thank you.
Amazing tutorial! I picked up the 4000 G in a recent sale and was a little bit lost having no background with hardware consoles. This tutorial was literally the only research I needed to begin using it effectively, extremely in-depth! Thank you!
I just bought the the PA 4000 E/G plugins and this was exactly what I needed to watch. I'm only 30 minutes in and this is one of the most informative videos I've seen in quite some time. Thanks for doing this! Liked and subscribed!
Just to reiterate previous comments: this is a spine crackingly brilliant video which explains some potentially difficult audio concepts in a clear, concise and pragmatic way suitable for both novice and seasoned veteran alike. I learned more about producing professional standard audio content in these 2 hours that I have in the previous 2 years. Kudos are due
the instructor of the year award goes to......
I'm late to this video but you are an incredibly gifted teacher. I don't think I've ever seen such a well laid out video. Thanks a lot!
This is an incredibly in depth tutorial with endless gems. Thank you for your detailed walk through. Because of this video I now know what all the small gold knobs now mean and what their functionally is. THANK YOU.
Hey Brian, just wanted to thank you for this awesome definitive guide. I just got a couple of the BX Channel Strips to add to my toolset including the 4000E & 9000J and was looking for at least an overview tutorial and then I found your video. You've given way so much more. Thank you bro! Appreciate the work you've done here!
Truly one of thee most comprehensive & professionally executed tutorial out there. Having purchased both the SSL 4000E & 4000G, learning the differences is fabulous in this here tutorial. Many thanks from, Bode Ghost Productions 👻 happy new year!
Thank you Brian, I am sincerely grateful for the time you have taken to compose this information. I have watched 100's of hours of TH-cam tutorials and this is by far the most clearly presented information regarding EQ, filters, compression, limiting, gates, expanding, side chaining and console setup that I have ever seen. This information is not just applicable to Consoles it is fundamental to the understanding of the elements of mixing and production. Everyone who wants to mix and produce music should watch this video. Thanks again mate your video has been invaluable to my understanding of these elements. Many blessings ✊🏽
I wish I found this video years ago. You helped bridge the gap between concepts I only had a working knowledge of and me knowing how and when to apply them. I’ve watched so many other tutorials to learn what you so expertly explained in just two hours. Thank you thank thank you
This was friggin’ awesome! Thanks heaps for this thorough breakdown of the SSL 4000’s. I’m not a noob with sound engineering, but there was a couple of features I didn’t know about in these plugins and your teaching style is very clear, bro.
I personally prefer the SSL 9000J and the Neve NXS consoles that brainworx made. Just my taste.
This is absolutely awesome. This must be by far the best tutorial on a plugin I have ever seen. On other sites you'll get to pay for such quality content. Thanks a lot, and of course I subscribed,
This video is amazing! A great guide to using the SSL channels. I just picked up the E Channel and this answered every question I still had. Awesome!!
That’s was well worth the watch. You have a great way of explaining things. You gave me some new perspectives on concepts I was already familiar with. Thank you!
I haven’t found another video that explains the gate/expansion on the SSL, thank you SO MUCH, this was VERY HELPFUL!!
Very deep tutorial, just what I was looking for, and I like how you use different genres to show of techniques and features. Much thanks
Subbed
Fantastic job at making this video both highly informative but incredibly accesable as the same time! Bookmarking this on for sure! Thanks for sharing your depth of knowledge man!
Just want to say a very big thank you, because this is one of the most useful and excellent walk throughs of any plugin tutorial I have watched.
One of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen! Great work.
I'm watching this video little by little because I don't want to miss anything. It's fantastic. Everything is so perfectly explained! Thank you
This is the Ben-Hur of plugin walkthroughs. Really excellent stuff - many thanks for doing this.
This is incredible!!! Thank you! Such an insightful and comprehensive review of every feature.
Excellent tutorial ! . . . You just unlocked so many secrets that just transformed my current mix !
Side chaining the filters , and that tiny little "mix" dial on the compressor . . . game changers !
I picked this up because I've seen so many great producers use it and it was on a flash sale, watching this I feel like I could mix using only this.
Far out! I'm impressed with this tutorial. Thanks you so much for sharing you knowledge.
This is what you call a definitive guide for real ! Insanely awesome video tutorial ! Subbed .
absolutely great - your tutorial is methodically super professional for anybody working with the plugin and even a nice introduction into the original hardware i am just working with. Thanks!!.
One of the most informative and best tutorials I've seen on the internet. Thank you!
🤘 thanks for the view
One thing I learned from this: modern plugins rock. Even better when you need to do actual audio engineering.
This is the BEST guide that I've watched on youtube or any where in the world without having to pay for it. Thank you so much BenoniStudio! I've relearned the technique that forgotten awhile ago. The best 2 hours well spent. Thank you for all your FREE plugin guide too. You're the best and your voice is awesome :)
very cool. thanks for the view 🤘
Amazing job - very helpful, no matter how skilled you are. I watched the whole video like it is a new Star Wars episode :-) Thank you, man!
haha. thanks for the view. 👍
I can't believe how detailed this is. I wish all of TH-cam was like this.
thanks for watching, enjoy 👍
You are a very good instructor! Some people have it, some not. You have it. Thank you.
Everyone who owns one of these plugins should watch this video. Really helps to learn the tool you have at hand. Plugin Alliance should include a link to it into the manual.
Awesome video, thanks for putting so much time into this, best tutorial ever for these products!
Thanks dude 🤘
Excellent tutorial with in depth knowledge offered up. Using other, more graphical, plugin presentations to show clearly the concepts at work was first class. And I'm only part of the way through it. Top Drawer.
This plugin is not cheap, unless you get it on special which happens from time to time. So, a comprehensive guide like this one is an indispensable resource. Thank you so much!!
Best presentation of this plugin. The variation on the input material is much appreciated. Worth your while people.
15 minutes in and I feel like I'm getting a master's class in a university. Great video!
Thank you for explaining these in detail
and Happy New Year!
watched this tutorial and had to sub. really a in depth guide. keep up the good work!
I learned more from you than a year and half in audio engineering school thank you sir
Thanks a lot, man! I found this video and channel yesterday through recommendations from YT. I'm bookmarking this vid for reference. Incredibly well done, incredibly thorough! I am in no doubt that I can learn A LOT from your vids, so mashing the sub button is a given! 😁
Doc, I have been in the business since I was 12 years old. 28 Years ago I started A Computer Company, eventually we evolved in producion and business products. WOW! I left your channel on and YOU Have taought me so Much I did not know! Love it Bro!! Gonna Lock this channel and share with friends! Thank you so much!!
Just 8 mins into the video and I am completely blown away.... thanks a billion
thanks for the view 👍
bro this is a SERIOUS video - literally brilliant!
Thanks. Enjoy 🤘
Man... YT is full of reviews or quick walkthroughs. But this video is what we all need! Specially with complex plugins like this. Thanks a lot for taking your time
Thanks for the view 👍
the greatest video on the internet about compressors, limiters,eq let alone SSL 4000!. PERIOD. you are a legend bro. mad respect. thank you for this that too for free.
🤘 enjoy
I've been mixing for over a decade now and I never thought to use an inverted expander for ducking like that. Very clever!
Thank you very much for this video. It really helped me understand the features of the channel strips a lot better.
I have 5 of their channel strips (everything but the Focusrite) and I'll be referencing this video a lot in case I get lost 😂
Congrats and such an in depth video. Must have taken a long time to make but it’ll be on the internet for decades
Excellent video. It's long but always holds your attention. Well done and thanks.
Wow u really went into depth with this ! Thank you
The ratio thing is explained wrong a lot on youtube but you explained it well. Great video! Just got these strips and love them. The Amek 9099 is flawless on almost everything.
I just picked up the E on sale. Id love to get the J since it also has some of the G and E. I think the G sounds a little beefier. I demod them both before picking up the E. J is on my list to pick up eventually along with the shadow hills revision. Great guide. I was playing around with the channel strip and getting a little overwhelmed by what everything did. Now i know . Thanks for putting this out!
The voice in the introduction of this video sounds like something from an 80's hot wheels commercial...lol!
However, great tutorial. At first I thought the visual strip was another view of the SSL 4000 G.
I have had this plugin for a while and today I figured it was time to learn it.
Thank you very much. The content es excellent. I came just beacuse I wanted to learn how to use the SSL but I just about to watch a masterclass in compression, filters, eq & more. Congratulation! Very well explained, super usefull info, direct and clear. At the end of the video you talked about where should be placed the SSL on the track, in what order put it in. By nature, in the analog world this would be the scenario: The source of the sound is a human voice or someone playing an instrument. Once played, that signal travel across the wire directly to the console SSL. In the case of the instruments, for example a guitar, once played the signal go first to the amp, and then maybe some pedals with others effects. And now, go to the console SSL. At that point now we have the signal living in the SSL, now we can manipulate it. Then start the chain of process; Add your EQ, sculp, compress & more effects, until finish with the last one, the limiter. So, If we want the workflow sound of the hardware-analog-real-world, this is the way.
Amazing. Thank you so much for showing examples from every type of music, and not just a single mix. I feel like that’s a huge pitfall of some tutorials.
Duly noted!
Brilliant video! This is how it's done! Oh, I've been looking for something like this. Thank you, bro! Subbed
Omg just when I thought this tutorial couldn’t get better you brought out Chip! Subscribed!
Chip ARMEY reporting for doody... tsss...tsss.. 🤣👍 Why call it a Tu torial, why not a three-torial er sumptin, tss.... tsss...
BenoniStudio 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You have a gift for teaching and making things very clear my friend, and your attention to details is remarkable. Very good video tutorial!
thanks for the comments and the view bro 👍
Definitely one of the best GUIDE VIDEO I've watched EVER!!!!
Great Work!
thanks for the view. we'll try to get some of the other desks covered like this as well.
thank you for clarifying so many concepts!!! I never really tho you could use a gate as a sidechain sound design tool, pretty nice!
Thank you a lot for this video!! Amazing explanation.. One of the best videos I've seen so far. Honestly!
Thank you a lot for this amazing tutorial . I was searching and now I understand key function for triggering
cool man, thanks for the view 🤘
Ufff man, this is pure gold. Thanks!
This was excellent, thank you. Looking forward to trying mine out once I have been new studio put together.
Not only your explanations are great, your pronunciation is fantastic, English is not my mother tongue but I understood almost 100%. Thank you!
By the way, SSL 4000 G Brainworx manual has an error on page 18, in "4 Expansion Meter", the word "compression" should be changed for "expansion".
I was looking pretty hard to figure out what that dynamic sidechain thing is in the filter section. thanks for explaining that so clearly :)
Thank you for spending the time. Really well explained!
Thank you for this video... It's just awesome. My mixes have truly improved from your vid.
One of the most complete and instantly rewarding tutorials I've watched. You sir are a legend.
A legend... Yeah. I keep trying to tell that to girls on tinder and they seem to disagree 🤣
@@BenoniStudio they'll come around🤣
Best Tutorial I have ever seen. Thx for this.
Enjoyed this video very much! Thanks a lot!
This video is absolutely fantastic. Thank you very much !
Great video! One of the best turorials! Thank you!
Danke für diesen sensationellen Überblick
Super great tutorial, because this is transferrable knowledge to any channel strip. Exactly what I was looking for, being a visual learner!!
thanks for the view bro 👍
This video is amazing my man. Thank you. I have the 4000 and the 9000. I love their sound but I dont use em to their full potential. This video is the bible for these tools. Thank you so much. I'm gona subscribe to your channel
This is really awesome, Keep it up with this kind of videos about others plugins. Thanks a lot!
Do you like the long, in-depth format? It seems most folk prefer really short videos today, 3 mins and under.
excellent explanation! So detailed and professional!
Incredible educational tool. Bless you. Much appreciated.
I think it’s worth mentioning that if you don’t have the EQ active then you don’t get any variable THD - odd harmonics are generated in the EQ block.
Also, the compressor section generates second harmonic distortion when engaged but the level of this isn’t effected by the THD knob.
If neither the compressor or eq is engaged then the channel doesn’t generate any harmonics.
Great plugin.
I agree with you, nobody has made a review with a simple mono null test with two different channels ..
Tommaso Canazza yes. They have. I’ve seen another channel do a null test on all the brainworx ssl consoles including the 9000J.
I’m not sure a null test between different channels would be that enlightening. What I did was test with white noise and Voxengo Span to see how the TMT changes the eq frequency, q and gain. Having slight differences between left and right eq on a stereo channel produces some subtle width enhancement.
Thank you for this. Absolutely brilliant tutorial.
Just bought it finaly... Love it. Your video helped me a looooot, you explained very well how it works and how to use it.
Love the SSL G channel, Have the SSl2+ with the legacy tracking and my gosh they are a combo.
This is seriously one of the greatest videos I've ever stumbled across on youtube. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this.
i'm kinda inclined.....i think you have it right
Best video on youtube for this kind of stuff! Subbed!
You really explained the aspects of eq and compression dynamics good video tutorial.
Fantastic. Very much appreciated. Keep up the great work.
