excellent Channel Strip
I like it, but I can not use the UNISON option, because I have only a PCIe card and no Apollo interface. It`s very resource-hungry, but the quality is fabulous! My recommendation!

Classic Console Sound in a Plugin
The UAD SSL 4000 E Channel Strip Collection is a high-quality plugin that emulates the iconic SSL 4000 E console, known for its clear, punchy sound. It features comprehensive EQ and dynamics sections, including both 'Black Knob' and 'Brown Knob' EQ models, and integrates seamlessly with UAD's Apollo interfaces using Unison technology. While it requires UAD hardware to run, which may be a limitation for some, it offers a polished, professional sound that can significantly enhance mixes. Overall, it's an excellent choice for anyone looking to replicate the SSL sound in their digital projects.

DSPパワーをかなり使います。
音質は大満足です。 Apollo Soloで使用していますが、こちらを含んで4つ以上DSPで使えるUADプラグインを使用すると、「DSPパワーが足りません」という旨の警告が出ます。
Apollo Soloでは、録音時にはそもそも2チャンネル以上当時に録音は出来ないのでそんなに不便は無いのですが、MIXなどの編集作業時にこちらをDSPで使おうとすると負担が大きいため、Apollo Twin以上の機種を使うか、DSPではなくネイティブとして使用し、CPUパワーに頼るかになるかと思います。M. Schneider

Incredible cohesion

Nie mehr ohne ....
Der SSL 4000 E Channel Strip landet bei mir in meinem Apollo Twin X Duo zur Zeit als erstes m Unison-Slot um allen möglichen Effekten eine ultimative Basis zu liefern,
Okay .. es braucht etwas Zeit sich mit den gefühlt 100.000 Möglichkeiten zurecht zu finden ... wenn man dann aber das System begriffen hat, gibt es sicher kaum etwas bessseres ....
Das Plugin ist ein definitives must-have!L. Hester
The BEST SSL Console emulation!
I’ve owned and used the legacy version for years. I’ve owned and used all the other SSL emulations out there. THIS is the one. It has the warmth and clarity that you expect from the E series and the additional mic/transformer modeling along with UAD’s built in oversampling, it’s the best one I’ve used. Once I got this, I sold the rest.

Glue with Color
It helps to add on my stereo output
and love what it does, but sometimes its not the right tool but most of the time its exactly what I needed, recording heavy rock and sometimes put it on bass and drums too with good results.E. VELAZQUEZ
Best fixed all of all
The best Could be vocals strings acoustic guitars. Flutes etc. is a hell of a piece necessary in every studio.
E. Zorgman
Polished character
Thinking again... another channel strip.... why would I... and honestly I don't know how good the SSL range is as I'm a bedroom producer and after some ear training... Listening to how everything one was raving about it... I took a dive... Mid range clarity, smooth high end... detail in the bass/low end. I'm placing this on all instruments I'm recording. Now I know what all the raving was about. Polished sound with great character !

Magic box
I can't imagine mixing without this in my mix buss, or my drums, or my bass , etc....

This is great
Far waaaay better than the SSL own incarnation. Just the comp worths the money (when it is on sale...)

Ottimo suono ma..
Tutta l'SSL Collection suona da paura!! C'è da dire però che occupano davvero troppa cpu sul mio satellite. sul mio quadcore ogni channel strip prende il 25% del dsp.

I don´t know the original Hardware, but in my opinion its a great sounding channelstrip with a nice colour. The possibility of changing black and brown is very helpful.

SSL 4000 E Channel Strip
Clearly the best version of a SSL channel strip plugin I've heard. It give my vocal mixes that signature SSL hardware sound!
G. Rappoport
Three letters... SSL !
I want to say "I have no words to describe the UAD SSL 4000e Channel Strip", but I'd be lying. I've replaced all my plugins with just this (Legacy) Channel Strip. It's completely transformed my music. It's rendered all my other Compressors and EQs completely worthless. My bass sounds phat and tight, drums boom, guitars sing. Just pure excellence! Thank you UAD and SSL!!!
