Waves SSL E-Channel Strip $29 SALE

[WeWillWriteUaSong]

Thanks for the heads up, I snagged it! I am still learning a lot about production techniques, this looks like it can do quite a bit - do you have any favorite uses for it? Or have you found anything that you use it for the most? Unless I'm mistaken it looks like it can be used for several different things

Mark you can use this for just about anything. It really is a great versatile channel strip. you can throw it on every channel if you want, to get the ssl mixing feel. Pretty sure there's a bunch of YT vids of ppl mixing using just ssl plugs.

I'm so VERY HAPPY with the SSL E Channel Strip! Thanks for the tip Marcus. I've often been fooled by hype, then after buying and trying things I've thought, well, its OK but I'm not blown away. This time - I AM blown away!

That's awesome Graham! So glad you are happy with the purchase. It is quite the workhorse.

Waves is going crazy on sales right now. So probably worth checking out if anyone has any of those bucket list waves plugs now is the time. Sale is berserk compared to their regular prices.

Forgot to thank you for the heads up on this Marcus, but thanks! I saw your post, and grabbed it for $29. I've been using the UA version of this SSL strip for a few years, but I often times run out of UA processing power. For what it's worth, to my ears, this Waves version sounds every bit as good as the UA version.

Clicked on this, and it looks like it's now only available in the bundle. Sad trombone.

Check back in November; see if the bundle goes on sale. It's way worth it to have the channel strip and both compressors. According to a lot of my mixer friends, the SSL G Bus Compressor is the 'make it sound like a record' compressor.

Yea mojo the SSL bus comp is pretty sweet. For a long time I switched off between the ssl bus comp and the api2500 on my 2buss. Always did the job very nicely.

As a side note, the ONLY 2buss comp I use now is Cytomic's The Glue. Its an SSL emu but imo it sounds better than the waves ssl bus. And it has a mix knob

Speaking of glue, Kush Audio's UBK1 was next on the wishlist, but it could get bumped if the Cytomic is cheaper, hehe. Might maybe the Kush plugin does a few more tricks than the Cytomic, though. How does the Cytomic compare with the API?

Haven't had a chance to try the UBK1 but have heard great things. Since I got The Glue I haven't used the API on the 2buss anymore...but I still use the API on other sources (its great on vox), whereas I only use The Glue on the 2buss or a drum buss. The API is still one of my favorite comps.

*Honorable mention to the Melda MTurboComp which I've been using on EVERYTHING lately bc of its ease of use and versatility. And also for free the Tokyo Dawn stuff is excellent.
