Also I much prefer the horizontal layout as it ties up with my remote zero knob box great (though I often turn the monitor off anyway and mix from the remote). As for the CS - I think waves is more aggressive and easy to overdo - SSL needs more of a push, has more resolution perhaps and just feels more musical, smoother. Bus comp was clearer less harsh with Duende vs Waves (waves often made my mixes sound really fkd up! I didn't even hear that until I went duende!) but A/Bing quite mixdown snippets the SSL bus comp won it easily. Yeah they model a different desk but I don't care what any of them model or have code taken from I see how they improve workflow, how they feel, how they sound. They sounder way less smooth, harsher, edgier. and ask for a quick demo of the real thing.just so you know what it is like.i never did!.so it has taken a long time for me to like SSL as just turning everything on and everything 'up' sounds pretty crap.ĭid you compare the CS to the alternatives by Waves and UAD? Just curious.I used to use waves (CS and Bus comp) for me they are nowhere near the Duende. though i use the channel strip more often.i have found it a long process to understand classic SSL compression.a good idea might be to go to a good store.like KMR. SSL plugin channel strip and comp'?.Love em!. that ''less is more''.though if you hang round here it is likely that you will develop an unhealthy addiction to audio plugins!.be warned.be not in a hurry to own everything right now.! Never buy a plugin that is not 64 bit ready as it will be annoying in the end.Īlso remeber if you can.

My advice would be to always look at any potential plugin purchase for 64 bit compatibility. In other words, do all plugins work with Logic? is there a certain piece of software I need to buy in order to be able to install plugins? This is the first time I have bought plugins myself, so apologies for the naive questions.Īny advice would be appreciated, many thanks!Advice?.enty of that round here! Are there any alternative plugins for around a similar price (between £300 - £400) that I should be considering.įinally, what are the main considerations when buying plugins, in terms of my set-up. I have heard great things about these plugins, but I wanted to see what you guys think?. I am looking to buy the SSL Duende plugins (the EQ & Dynamics channel strip, and also the Stereo Bus Compressor) which would cost around £300. Looking to buy some plugins, and it would be great to get some advice.
