Specifically type 2 has unsymmetrical cut and boost curves to allow low gain very high Q resonance control in cut and overall character correction in boost - IMHO the best of both worlds when doing corrective EQ on percussion and other resonant instruments. The SSL E-Channel console presented in the Waves SSL 4000 Collection 1.1 brings users the sound of the Solid State Logic 4000 series discrete design and Class A, VCA chip.


Later therefore when I did the Oxford EQ (released from panel constraints) I included 3 different selectable styles of EQ to address these problems. Therefore some people found it disappointing under some conditions. Channel Strip Plug-in Based On E Series SSL Console with 4-band Parametric. BTW this also meant that the shelving sections were slightly unsymmetrical in boost and cut.Īlthough the G series was certainly a more 'musical' general purpose EQ that responded more naturally than the previous versions, the loss of high Q low gain cuts was a disadvantage when trying to tame resonances (especially percussion) etc. Plug-in Bundle Based on SSL 4000 Console with 4 Plug-in Processors - Mac/PC. The LF and HF shelves were also considerably re-worked with extra response poles to create an increased warmth (response overshoot bump) in the LF region and sharper freq definition (MF suck-out) in the HF regions - again to address the emerging styles of the times. The increase of max boost/cut from 15dB to 18dB was allowable due to reduced noise levels in the G series design. This was done to address the increasingly popular sonic styles of the time and counter some of the criticisms of the console sounding 'harsh' - due to the narrow bandwidth mid range boosts that had typified earlier production styles. The reason for this was to make delicate approaches to EQ more audible and thus encourage the user to employ somewhat less dramatic and more subtle EQ styles. In fact the effective Q lessened with lower boosts and cuts and therefore effectively widened the bandwidth for smaller amounts of EQ. He also designed the Sonnox EQ and the rest of the original Sonnox plugs. This is a part of a post by Paul Frindle who designed the G series EQ, talking about the differences from the E series and why they changed it. Hopefully if I can get any input at all, it will potentially flush out the facts based on your perspective and experience and help me out I'm thinking more often in "some" situations "some folks" tend to have a "parrot-like" mentality and make choices and claims simply because of noted popularity or what they've heard as opposed to having hard facts or experience. I see them both as possibly serving a useful purpose in my mixes.īut what's your opinions of them? Trying to get as many takes on the preferences as possible to determine and hopefully get a better understanding as to why the E series seems to be so desired by the majority over the G. What I hear is a slight bump in the mid-range on the G over the E but aside from that they both have sonic characteristics that I can see being desirable in certain situations whether E or G or potentially both. with companies such as Waves, Universal Audio and Softube modeling the channel.

Me? I've demoed the PA versions, haven't tried Waves versions and since UAD only offers the E-version I don't have anything to really compare for the scenario. The worldfamous SSL 4000 mixing console has been modeled by a number of. Individual SSL plugins are only $29.99 USD during the promotion.If you've used either of these plugins, I was curious as to how the personal preferences sway between these 2 and what you'd consider being pro's or con's based on genre and the types of tracks for any projects you've tried them on.
