For gentler material I tend towards the equally great UAD Manley Vari-Mu. The UAD version is excellent and it is this version which finds itself on my mixes for anything even loosely ‘rocky’.
However, in spite of this shaky start, getting to know this unit well has made it something of a regular feature on my 2 bus. After absorbing so much hyperbole about this unit I probably expected it to heal the sick rather than add a nice interaction between the snare and the guitars, which is actually what happened! Probably for the same reason as people warn against meeting your heroes. My initial experience of a G Bus compressor was a hardware X Rack unit which initially left me underwhelmed. However SSL make more than just mixer channels and instead of the channel strip I’m going to highlight the other super-famous hardware SSL are known for.

The SSL Native Channel Strip 2 offers a full channel strip from the progenitors themselves. If you’re looking for authenticity then SSL themselves make plugin versions of their channel strip. Here is our pick of the best SSL plugins out there today.

However, development at SSL didn’t stop with the E series and while it’s a classic, there’s more to say and more products, imitated in software form, to be highlighted here than just the E Series.
The Brown and Black knob EQs varied in the details of their facilities but the fact that the Brown EQ always had its filters engaged and the Black didn’t, was at least as significant as the differences between the EQs themselves. The inclusion of dynamics as well as EQ on every channel was hugely influential on the sound of the records produced on it, but the automation for the increasingly complex mixes being created which was as significant as any part of the audio circuit on the desirability of these consoles in those pre-DAW days.įamed for its aggressive sound, the E series had two iterations of its EQ. The E series really did change the industry. Their first work was in control systems for pipe organs, however designing systems to control multiple audio streams does apply to banks of diapason pipes as well as tape tracks from a Studer I suppose so fair enough!
I love the fact that SSL weren’t originally in the audio console business. However this would be to reduce the contribution of SSL to a single 1979 product. When planning an overview of SSL plugins it would have been easy to pull together a list of alternative E Series channel strip plugins, so popular is that category. Try reinstalling the disabled plug-in or check with the manufacturer for an update.In this article Julian looks at one of the most enduring themes in plugin emulation – the classic SSL hardware of the 80s and 90s.
