1. Introduction

The unique sound of Solid State Logic’s 4000 Series analogue mixing consoles is sought after
worldwide. Engineers of pop and rock music, broadcast transmissions and television post-
production value the SSL 4000’s flexible dynamics chain as much as the trademark SSL
“punchy” sound. Waves and SSL engineers have worked together for over a year to recreate the
sound ch

new world of opportunities. For years, workstation users have sought this unusual flexibility and signature sound. But conventional dynamics and EQ plug-ins couldn’t produce the unique SSL color. The Waves SSL 4000 Collection is the result of a partnership between Waves Audio and Solid State Logic. These processors faithfully recreate the same EQ and dynamics characteristics which made legendary the SL4000 consoles. Plus, the interface accurately reflects the classic SSL console

section is the High Pass (18 dB/octave) filter and the Low Pass (12 dB/octave) filter. Normally, low pass and high pass filters follow the same path as the entire EQ section. However, when SPLIT is selected, the low pass and high pass filters are placed before the dynamics processors in the chain. The equalizer can be switched into the dynamics sidechain to afford simple de- essing and other frequency-controlled dynamics processing by selecting DYN S-C at the foot of the section. In the

Dynamics Sections Controls (top to bottom) 1. Compressor (white knobs) a. The compressor’s Ratio/Slope can be set from 1 to infinity (limiter). b. The Threshold is variably adjustable from +10 dB to -20 dB. c. When the Attack time switch is set to Slow (F.ATK off,) attack time is auto- sensing and program dependent. In the Fast setting (F.ATK,) attack time will be forced to 1 ms. d. Release time is adjustable from 0.1 sec to 4 seconds. 2. Expander/Gate (green knobs)

3. Dynamics to (DYN TO)switches a. BYPASS will bypass the entire dynamics section. Note that selecting BYPASS does not result in a signal which is flat, but rather one which mimics the flat response of the SSL channel strip hardware. b. CH OUT moves the dynamics to the output of the E-Channel, making it post-EQ. SSL E EQ Section Controls (top to bottom) 1. Low and High Pass filters (white knobs): Low pass: 18 dB/octave, 15 Hz – 350 Hz (-3 dB point) High pass: 12 d

Master Section Controls and Indicators On the bottom right of the SSL Channel Strip are the master gain controls and level indicator. 1. Level Indicator Levels are expressed in dBFS, although all parameters are expressed as dBu. 2. INPUT and OUTPUT switches above the meter allow you to toggle the level indicator between input and output. 3. An Input Trim Button enables you to trim the input to the channel by ± 18db. The plug-in is aligned so that -18 dBFS = 0. 4. Th
