Sometimes it's only a HPF/LPF, other times, it's compressing and EQ'n. Would inserting them on every track be a good idea? Thanks in advance and please dont flame i know this question isnt that advanced.I use the E Channel on almost every channel of every mix I do. But my question is how the hell do I use them? And why are they so good? I understand there is a wide range of uses for them but how could I benefit the most from them.
#Waves ssl 4000 sale pro#
I always hear people talking about that "SSL sound" and now i can essentially achieve getting that sound or close to it by slapping the channel strip on all my tracks in pro tools.
I just recently purchased the Waves SSL 4000 collection. that's where i found the magic with the ssl plugs good luck with it. turn it +3/6db on a snare make your futher sound then conpensate with the fader as you lower it by 3/6db. turn it up as you drive the console and adjust the level with the fader. the trick in the plug is the input gain knob. as per the fader use it to adjust the plug only not the channel. it's quite puchny so you can use on drums (recomend) vocals anything. you hear thru it, work you recordings thru it but the sound it's not recording with it. When I record, should I insert the SSL channel before and WHILE i record, or only after I record when I mix?When you record you won't record the sound as it went thru the plug cuz it's just a plug on the insert point of the chain. What do you think about using it on vocals? Also i noticed Ssl channel has its own fader, when I want to lower or raise volume of my track should I use the pro tools fader or the SSL fader?
