The Legendary Console, Now from the Source: Solid State Logic Releases the SSL 4K G Plugin
Solid State Logic has released the SSL 4K G, a plugin that meticulously models the legendary console at the component level—bringing the true sound and character of the original directly from the makers themselves.
Anyone who mixes content for an audience needs to make sure it sounds great on all kinds of consumer devices. With MixChecker or MixChecker Pro, that’s fast and easy to achieve. These tools come loaded with powerful new features, allowing you to accurately simulate your listeners’ environments and playback systems.
The Manley Massive Passive EQ plugin is officially licensed by Manley Labs and faithfully captures the behavior of the original hardware — from its uniquely shaped filter curves and band interdependencies to the tube amplifier saturation and the subtle hysteresis of transformers and inductors.
It features a 3-band EQ with nine selectable frequencies, housed in the standard 500x format. Each band allows for ±16 dB of boost or cut at musically chosen frequency ranges, while adding a touch of smooth saturation.
In the early 1990s, digital synthesizers dominated the market, and rack units became a staple in both studios and on stage. Advances in digital technology allowed Roland to pack an incredible variety of sounds into a single unit. With the addition of optional PCM sound cards, users could further expand the unit with specialized sound sets.
