However, with the press of a button, the compressor can be toggled from the E Series channel compressor to the G Series bus compressor on either plug-in.īx_console also adds modern features like wet/dry mix controls for parallel compression, a dedicated THD control for dialing in the perfect amount of distortion, and optional secondary release-time and HPF controls for the compressor. Both modules employ the standard VCA channel compressor/limiters and expander/gates. While both these bx_consoles offer their own unique EQ sections, they share a very similar dynamics section.
Both channel strips offer 72 unique channels through the use of TMT, allowing you to more effectively recreate the sound of an actual physical SSL console in your DAW.īx_console E utilizes the iconic black and brown knob EQ combination and “shelf” switch on the low and high bands, while bx_console G features the updated orange and pink knobs with “x by 3” and “/ by 3” buttons to access a slightly wider frequency range. Utilizing Brainworx’s proprietary Tolerance Modeling Technology (or “TMT”), they’re able to accurately replicate the natural variations in individual components from channel to channel-just like on a real console.īrainworx offers two SSL channel strip emulations modeled after the E and G consoles respectively: The bx_console 4000 E and bx_console 4000 G. The bx_console channel strip plugins-newly revamped with help from SSL’s own engineer-are arguably even more powerful than the original SSL hardware channel strips. Winner: Best Overall SSL Channel Strip Plugin Brainworx bx_console 4000 E & bx_console 4000 G ($299 each) OK, now that you know the basic differences between the E Series and G Series EQs, let’s take a look at what each of the top plugins that emulates them has to offer. The G Series consoles also replaced the shelf/bell shape buttons for the low and and high bands with “LMF/3” and “HMFx3” switches for the mid-bands, which would divide the Low Mid frequency or multiply the High Mid frequency by a factor of three- allowing for a single knob to cover even more of the frequency spectrum while still being usable. The G Series EQ used steeper filter slopes and incorporated a variable proportional-Q design, which increases the Q value the more you boost or cut the signal-much like a Pultec. While the dynamics modules on the E and G series consoles were nearly identical, the G Series is said to have a softer, more gentle EQ than the E Series thanks to the new 292 or 383 “G-EQ” circuitry. In 1987, SSL introduced the 4000 G Series console, which also featured a number of changes. In 1983, it was replaced with the “Black Knob” 242 EQ, developed with the help of the legendary George Martin, which corrected the filtering quirk and made a few minor changes to gain range, frequency selection and filter slope, offering a slightly different sound. Technology.Early E-Series consoles used a “Brown Knob” EQ circuit, which always left the filters engaged, rolling off the very lowest and highest frequencies. Sub-mix allowed sound engineers to discover unique, history-making applications of this console 'patch' into the SL4000's master bus compressor and to control its sidechain from an internal The SL4000 console was the first mixing desk to incorporate dynamics processing into everyĬhannel, as well as a master bus compressor in the console’s center section. “mix in the box” can achieve the sound they thought they’d lost when they moved to the digital Sound characteristics of the classic SSL 4000 Series E and Series G consoles. Waves and SSL engineers have worked together for over a year to recreate the Production value the SSL 4000’s flexible dynamics chain as much as the trademark SSL Engineers of pop and rock music, broadcast transmissions and television post.
The unique sound of Solid State Logic’s 4000 Series analogue mixing consoles is sought after Waves SSL 4000 Collection Plug-in emulations of the automated console that typifi ed an era and defi ned modern operational methods were inevitable given the drive to integrate everything into the DAW. Battling against! Waves hasn’t quite nailed the personalities of the channel and bus compressors, but they are pretty close.
