I've read online that SSL claims to be behind more platinum albums than all other consoles combined which is probably not entirely true but if you look at the work that was done on this console, it's not so far fetched either and here's to name a few: a couple of Bruce Springsteen albums (including Born in the USA), Green Day's American Idiot, Madonna, Metallica's Master of Puppets, Nirvana, Paul Simon's Graceland, Queen, Rolling Stones' Exile on Main Street etc.įor some reason, there's something in the SSL sound that beats other consoles and, as everything with music and sound, it's a bit hard to explain. This particular 4000s series is now considered to be a classic and it's still popular amongst bad ass mixing engineers in the music industry today. In other words, SSL stands for Solid State Logic and they produce state of the art mixing consoles. This big ass boy right here is the original SSL 4000 console. So, I went home and wanted to test the difference myself. We compared the first mix and the SSL plugins mix and the SSL was far superior. Yesterday night I stopped by again and he had remixed everything with the SSL plugins in the meantime. The sound was fantastic and it was probably the best mixing work he's done in a long time. Hi everyone! Two days ago I was hanging around at my friend's studio/office and he was playing one of his latest mixing efforts.
