User manual WAVES SSLCHANNEL

[. . . ] 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. 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. [. . . ] Release time is adjustable from 0. 1 sec to 4 seconds. The expander's Threshold is variable from -30 dB to +10 dB SSLChannel b. Range is variable from 0 ­ 40 dB. page 6 c. When the Attack time switch is set to Slow (F. ATK off, ) attack time is autosensing and program dependent. In the Fast setting (F. ATK, ) attack time is 1 ms. Release time is adjustable from 0. 1 sec to 4 seconds. The GATE switch toggles the section from an expander (default mode) into a gate. 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. 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. High frequency EQ section (purple knobs): Range 1. 5 kHz ­ 16 kHz. Gain range is ±18 dB for bell shape, ±16. 5 dB for shelving. Selecting BELL changes the HF EQ from shelf to bell shape. 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. 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 frequency EQ section (black knobs): Range 30 Hz ­ 450 Hz. [. . . ] 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. Save used for saving presets in the Waves file format (. xps) There are two options for saving: Save to new file: creates a new . xps file wherein multiple presets can be saved. Save into preset menu: saves the preset into the default list of the plug-in. [. . . ]
