User manual WAVES SSLCHANNEL

[. . . ] These processors faithfully recreate the same EQ and dynamics characteristics which made legendary the SL4000 consoles. Couple all of this with state-of-the art Waves software and you suddenly find yourself working with the same tools that have provided countless hit mixes for the world's best audio engineers. The Waves SSL 4000 Collection consists of three separate sections: · · · The SSL E-Channel The SSL 4000 G-Master Bus Compressor The SSL G-Equalizer 2. Description of the SSL 4000 E-Channel plug-in SSL E-Channel The Waves SSL E-Channel is modeled after the SL4000 E Series console, combining the dynamics section of the SL4000 channel strip with the "Black Knob" 242 EQ. [. . . ] SSL E-Channel Latency The channel strip has a latency of one sample. Routing in SSL E-Channel SSLChannel page 4 SSLChannel page 5 3. SSL 4000 E-Channel Controls and Indicators Dynamics Sections Controls (top to bottom) 1. The compressor's Ratio/Slope can be set from 1 to infinity (limiter). When the Attack time switch is set to Slow (F. ATK off, ) attack time is autosensing and program dependent. The expander's Threshold is variable from -30 dB to +10 dB SSLChannel b. When the Attack time switch is set to Slow (F. ATK off, ) attack time is autosensing and program dependent. The GATE switch toggles the section from an expander (default mode) into a gate. 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. CH OUT moves the dynamics to the output of the E-Channel, making it postEQ. 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 dB/octave, 3 kHz ­ 20 kHz (-3 dB point) Turning the knob completely to the left bypasses the filter. When SPLIT is selected, the low pass and high pass filters are placed before the dynamics processors in the chain. Gain range is ±18 dB for bell shape, ±16. 5 dB for shelving. High medium frequency EQ section (green knobs): Range 600 Hz ­ 7 kHz. As in the LMF EQ section, Q is continuously adjustable from 0. 1 to 3. 5. Gain varies from ±18 dB when Q is set at 3. 5 to ±15 dB when Q is set at 0. 1. Low medium frequency EQ section (blue knobs): Range 200 Hz ­ 2. 5 kHz. Gain varies from ±18 dB when Q is set at 3. 5 to ±15 dB when Q is set at 0. 1. 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. [. . . ] Commands common to all Waves plug-ins: Undo undoes the last performed action. Setup A/B toggles between two sets of parameters within the same processor ­ useful when comparing different parameter settings in order to achieve optimal results. Copy A->B copies the current settings to the second setup register. [. . . ]
