SSL® 4000 E Channel Strip Collection
-
La célèbre tranche de console SSL 4000, complètement remodélisée avec la technologie Unison™.
Sortie en 1979, la console SSL 4000 E a amené un son moderne, que l’on retrouve sur bien plus de disques de platine que n’importe quelle autre console. Son caractère vif, plein de punch et sa dynamique incroyable en ont fait un véritable standard du secteur et un bastion de l'enregistrement moderne.
En étroite collaboration avec Solid State Logic®, Universal Audio dévoile fièrement la toute nouvelle SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection pour systèmes UAD-2 et interfaces Apollo – une émulation rigoureuse du circuit dans sa totalité, qui va bien au-delà de la référence qu'est le plug-in SSL 4000 E Channel Strip UA d'origine.Vous pouvez maintenant :

5-Minute UAD Tips
SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection
Transformez votre station de travail audio numérique en console SSL classique
En vue d'élaborer la nouvelle SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection, l'équipe d'ingénieurs d'UA a plongé en profondeur dans la SSL 4000 E pour modéliser fidèlement les transformateurs d'entrée Jensen du préampli d'origine et la section de sortie à VCA Gold Can dbx. En capturant les comportements d'amplification non linéaires caractéristiques du préampli, vous obtenez la marque de fabrique de SSL – un caractère explosif, plein de punch, profond, affirmé, pour toutes vos sources.
Le célèbre égaliseur britannique à profusion
Le plug-in SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection regroupe les deux types d’égalisation de la série E, le 242 avec égaliseur 4 bandes et filtres à boutons « noirs » et le 001 à boutons « marron ». L'égaliseur « marron » est musical et facile à régler, tandis que l’égaliseur « noir » est plus net et plus chirurgical. Les deux offrent les emblématiques interactions des bandes SSL et la modélisation de l'ampli, apportant du punch à la batterie, de la présence au chant, et du poids à la basse.
Technologie Unison pour Apollo
En exploitant Unison, la technologie révolutionnaire d'UA, le nouveau plug-in SSL 4000 E Channel Strip vous donne l'impédance du préampli micro/ligne, les sweetspots ou « zones idéales » de l'étage de gain, et les comportements exacts des circuits du hardware. Il suffit d'insérer le plug-in dans l’emplacement dédié au préampli Unison de l'Apollo pour enregistrer en temps réel au travers d'un préampli SSL parfaitement modélisé.
Expansion, compression, et plus encore
D'un contrôle subtil de la dynamique à un véritable « effet de pompe », le compresseur de la série E rend les guitares bien présentes, fait ressortir le chant des enceintes, et peut ajouter de la clarté, du punch et de la profondeur à votre bus de batterie. Les commandes PRE-DYN vous permettent de placer l'égaliseur ou les filtres avant la section de traitement de la dynamique pour des timbres très différents, tandis que les boutons DYN-SC donnent une compression qui dépend de la fréquence au moyen des filtres d'égalisation, de coupure, ou des deux.
Ajoutez de la profondeur et de la transparence avec tout système UAD
Bien sûr, la SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection n'est pas réservée qu'aux utilisateurs d'Apollo. Les possesseurs d'UAD-2 peuvent utiliser la tranche SSL E Channel Strip sur n'importe quelle source, sans sortir de l'ordinateur. Avec le plug-in SSL E Channel Strip, émulation de la tranche de console complète, plus l'ancien plug-in SSL E Channel Strip fourni - moins gourmand en DSP - vous pouvez peaufiner vos projets avec un son récompensé par de nombreux disques de platine.
“I learned to mix on an SSL E Console. This plug-in takes me right back to that familiar sound with uncanny realism. It will be living on my mixes from now on.”
– Ian Boxill (Lenny White, Prince, 2Pac)
“I can treat the UAD SSL 4000 E exactly like the hardware. The channels are perfectly recreated along with the mic and line amps — the gain staging is so realistic, it's eerie!”
– Chris Coady (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Beach House, Future Islands)
“The new SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection is by far the most authentic emulation of my favorite console.”
– Chuck Zwicky (Prince, Soul Asylum, Reggie Watts)
“The new SSL 4000 E Channel Strip is a remarkable reincarnation of the classic console that introduced me to the world of SSL. Meticulously reproduced including its amazing idiosyncrasies, this plug-in has all the character, grit, and spank you'd expect and more.”
– Richard Chycki (Rush, Aerosmith, Dream Theater)
“My vocal chain is an LA-2A, SSL E Series Channel Strip, an 1176LN, and a Precision De-Esser. They're amazing plug-ins.”
– Hector Delgado (A$AP Rocky, Selena Gomez, Jay-Z)
“The UAD SSL plug-ins are pretty amazing! I use the compressor just as I would on an analog desk, attaining the same results.”
– Ryan Hewitt (Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Avett Brothers)
“I've been looking for that perfect SSL sound since I started mixing in-the-box. I've finally found it with the UAD SSL 4000 E Series Channel Strip!”

SSL 4000 E
It becomes an addiction very quickly once you place SSL 4000 E on the top of your plugins and next time if you don't, you will really feel that there is something missing :)

Great for Recording Acoustic Country Blues Guitar (and other things)
I put the demo of this SSL 4000e emulation through its paces for two weeks against all of the other Unison channel strips and chose it for -- believe it or not -- what I thought to be the most organic, natural sounding to me for recording my Collings OM-2H in finger-style country blues type solo recordings with an AKG C414 XLS microphone into an Apollo Twin MKII. Who knew? I thought this SSL sound was supposed to be for ultra slick pop music!
The Neve 88RS and API Vision channels were close contenders, and the API especially seemed like it might provide a nice, somewhat "brighter" and slightly more "open" contrast to the very "up=front" SSL sound, but to have one overall vibe, the 4000E worked best for me.
I wasn't interested in having the older school Neve 1073, V76, etc sounds, and didn't like the functionality of some of those. I was looking for a more modern sound but I wish there were a Trident A Series Unison channel strip, as the Daking preamps have been my go-to for many years. Not having them available to me now, it might have been comforting to replace them with a plugin, if that's possible, but it's also nice to move on and try something new. I've never used an actual SSL board so I don't know how close this plugin comes to the real thing. Reviews say it does but how can you trust these reviews? (BTW, you can trust this one, for what it's worth, cuz I'm just an old hippie who likes to dabble).
The transformer option hasn't appealed to me yet (surprisingly, since I often prefer the sound of transformers in microphone press and microphones) as it messes with the clarity -- and I am a fiend for clarity -- but with vibe, not sterile ; the compressor is unobtrusive when used lightly -- which is the way I usually use it on input ; the EQ is smooth ; the metering fine. It's a processor hog, so I just use it on a single Unison input channel -- not for mixing or anything after the fact. It would be cool if it could be used after a Unison guitar or bass amp sim (I use the Friedman Buxom Betty and Eden 800 plugs), to add that sound going in, though I realize those emulations already have recording chain emulations built in and would need to be disable-able for that to work.
I've used Universal Audio compressors like the 1176LN and microphone pres like the 610 in the past and have liked them very much, and this software deal is admittedly pretty cool ; but the hardware limitations of those chips and the cost of each plugin is dissapointing for sure - but what to do? I'm lucky I can afford them. I like the ability to insert this in the input in their cool (gimmicky maybe?) Unison technology ; (I mean, is it really that much better than sticking a plugin into the track after the fact?) It's probably more a psychological thing for me because I'm used to getting "that sound" going in, so this gives me that sense of the analog recording process.
I've only been using this SSL 4000E channel strip for 3-4 weeks for my own little projects, but so far, so good.p. dwyer

One of the best Channelstrip
As I was looking for a Channelstrip from UAD, the SSL 4000 was my "Must To Have" ! And the SSL is really that I wanted, fat and amazing !!!

THE punchy sound!
Awesome channel strip, gives amazing EQ sound to whatever source...go and get one !

Plugin on a mission!
beautiful analog sounding preamp through the unison slot, mic'ed my cab with a E906 and it came alive after tweaking the eq section for a bit! i feel sorry for the local studio's because they won't see me again when it comes to tracking guitar lol. thnx UAD for the great 3+1plugin deal

Great！
Best for drums and percussion.

wow
Just wow! now my mixes are really starting to sound like the real deal.
R. Gun
Well done but...
Pro: real good and rocking EQ sound, top notch Gate, punchie Compressor.
Not so good:
Absolutley incredible high DSP load; limitied bandwith also on higher samplerates.
The Gainstage is compleatly linear until overload, so where´s the sound?
The older version is supplied at least so you can use that instead.
Was not that great idea of mine upgrading it.~
Most newer Plugins do have a limited bandwith, that´s a shame now a days.R. Gun
Gut, aber...
Zu den Vorteilen: sehr brauchbarer, rockiger EQ-Klang, top Noisgate, knackiger Compressor.
Die Nachteile wiegen leider schwer:
Unglaublich hohe DSP Last, Bandbreite limitiert auf 22kHz egal welche Samplerate.
Der Gainsound ist absolut linear und clean bis zur Verzerrung, wo ist da die Emulation vom Kanalklang? Dieses Problem haben leider generell alle Pugins.
Darum, wirklich brauchbar ist nur die zum Glück mitgelieferte alte Version.M. Flores
THE sound!
Just what the doctor ordered for my mix! Clear, punchy, and distinct! Way better and more headroom than other SSL plugins i've used in the past. I just had to have it! Thank you UA!
M. Carrera
the channel E in a plugin!
that ssl classic sound sculpting for your tracks!
c. adelmann
Great stuff
When I got the quad and this was part of the great package I was a bit mixed becuase I had the plugin alliance version. The pa version is great but the uad version is great with a bit of different sound and closer to the original hardware. I will use not happily!
