I m going to demo the waves ssl 4000 this week.
Waves ssl e channel alternative.

Great eq but more so a true channel strip that sounds great.
I also own a bunch of other plugins that could possibly compete with the channel strip if placed in the right chain.
The waves ssl e channel is my constant mix companion the best channel strip plugin for me.
As an alternative i acquired the british channel from t racks.
Does anyone use the british channel.
Logic doesn t really have a channel strip like a mixing console would and it dovetails more than nicely.
Variety of sound booteq.
It gives me the vintage e curve with the saturation that makes it so musical.
Get on waves mailing list and watch.
Free alternative ssl eq plugins like the waves ssl g channel eq.
Ssl plugins extra 10 off at waves http bit ly wavesbonus how to use waves ssl lets take a few mins to get guided around the ssl channel strip.
Sonimus has an eq with somewhat similar eq functions but no compressor or gate and the sknote channel strip has compression but the eq is not remotely as useful as the ssl channel strip.
From renaissance channel to analog models like emi tg12345 redd and the ssl g and e channels waves channel strip plugins deliver the dynamics and eq to fit your workflow.
You can find the ssl e channel for 29 now and again.
I use it even though i have an original ssl console every instance of the plugin is identical so stereo pairs stay matched and i often use one plugin instance on.
It has four parametric bands and unlike the waves premium version a drive control for adding in saturation to taste.
Mcdsp point out that these presets are inspired by these classic consoles rather than being exact copies of them but if you cannot afford the waves ssl channel strip channel g includes ssl e series emulations which might provide an alternative.
