Great plugin, now I can use in all my mix tracks
I don't have much DSP on my Apollo Solo and couldn't do a full mix with this guy, now I can.

Great Product
SSL 4000 Series has been a common go-to for me - probably because of the familiarity of the controls. The tone is great, the interface is...logical - the side-chain feature is great. My only gripe - and we know plenty others have the same issue - why the extra $10 for what was a traditionally free Native addition for those who previously owned the plugin? Still, for my use, it was worth it. Great work!

Great to see UAD SSL plugins ported to UADx and they sound great. I haven’t been able to use my UAD version for 4 years since moving to an external NVMe drive for MacOS. Unfortunately this release is tainted by the surreptitious charges for existing owners, but glad I can finally use it again.

I use evereday in my productions
SSL 4000 Sereis Console Bundle is wonderful.
Sounds clean and give me punch in my mixes.M. Muniz
A must!
Simply awesome! One of my favourite plugins and my favourite channel strip!
R. The New Age
FINALLY!!!!!!!
I have been waiting for this for sometime. The UAD SSL is the best IMO and is my go to. One thing that I hope improves is the amount of CPU usage. Just like on my Apollo, this is a hog!!
S. Bergstrom
Best channelstrip
My favorite channelstrip. Sounds amazing!!
e. mullano
Incredibly awesome
I like 4k ssl universe , that s what was missing
i. ramos
A fundamental combo
If you want to get analog character and glue in your mixes, try these two plugins
K. Haritatos
SSL 4000 Bundle
The best go-to channel strip. And the Bus Compressor is a live saver to bring a life and analog feeling to your bus. Excellent !!
J. Ng
old new friend
Already got the dsp version since uad-2 existed. The new native version requires no dsp to run which is user friendly and can bring anywhere to use without a hardware. Now no matter what simple job I do, just open up my notebook & the whole SSL virtual console is here. Worth upgrading & highly recommended.
d. palmer
Reminds me of the Virgin Townhouse Studio 3
Incredible also cranking the bus compressor the bus compressor on my drum bus is just the perfect sound captured
