Updated SSL
I'm very pleased with the update to my SSL channel strip
J. Schweitzer
Wow
I love this plugin. It sounds so much like the original it makes me smile. I feel like I could do a whole mix just using thus plug, it’s that good.

ATC (add to cart)
Absolutely fantastic. I mainly use it for drum recording on everything but toms (API). Started with some presets, tweaked them a bit... boom! Instant LOVE
L. St Juste
Amazing!
This has to be the best single plugin I own from UAD. SSL magic at it's best!!!

Ultimate mix-bus plugin
For years I kept trying different ITB compressors for the mix-bus duties - no plugins ever made me like them. Acustica Audio, other UAD plugins, Sonoris, you name it. BUT! This is the one that actually glues the sound nicely, transparently, beefs it up, doesn't sound like other 2D-sounding software. Basically quest completed, very happy... Finally!

Super Super Smooth
Great for drums, acoustic guitar, and vocals. Super smooth and useful compression. Unison technology is really great!!! Keep it coming UA!!!

punch for pop and modern music
These beast is my go to bus comp for most pop and modern music styles with a medium to high dynamic. It has a very typical high class compressor sound and works for most modern program material.
This thing works well on drums in parallel processing and as the 2nd dynamic stage. At the bus it is very nice to tame 1-2db while (for higher dynamic material) another compressor before is evening out levels a bit before (i.e. Neve 33xxxxx) - this "couple" allows to control the amount of "SSL sound" of the product (using serial compressors is a bit tricky in finding timings - you have to know what you do). The new version is a huge (!) step compared to the former UAD emulation. This emulation is just much more SSL, much more open and detailed.

Combining old and new
This channel strip is a go to on almost every track in my template. The addition of driving the mic pre is amazing on everything much like on the Dualities. However, this
Plugin is very heavy on dsp when all paramiters are being used.
Y. Caldas
Increadible
Extreamly close to the actual console. Being able to drive the line amps like on the duality is awesome and sounds great on anything. The legacy versions are a great bonus.
Y. Caldas
Amazing
After having used the actual console for a bit and doing shootouts these plugins are pretty much bang on. The ability in the channel strip to drive the line input like on the duality is increadible and sounds awesome. However it does use a lot of power when you are using that, the dynamics and the eq portion of the channel strip. The bus compressor is awesome on pretty much anything, the mix knob is a very nice feature for doing parallels without worrying about delay compensation. That compressor can be both aggressive and smooth dependant how it's set. The legacy versions of both plugins are also killer, really great for saving on cpu.

A very rewarding purchase
After having tracked for some time with the hardware versions (611 EQ) I felt that the UAD Channel strip plugins would be a welcome investment for mixing duties. The legacy version is more than adequate for tweaking any track and the Unison version is the cream on the cake for high priority tracks. The EQ section is versatile, the compressor/Expander is flexible and the filters are very transparent. With the possibility to add some drive to the signal, or not, this has been a rewarding purchase with endless tone shaping possibilities.

A Must-Have Bundle
Based on my experience with the SSL 4000 Strip plugin, I decided to complete the bundle with the G Bus. This is a potent bundle, well worth adding to any audio arsenal.

Amazing emulation !
This emulation of SSL is the best I have ever tried... It really sounds like SSL hardware ! With this plug, you have a real SSL at home :)
A. Lee
What everyone knows....
...is that the SSL 4000 Bus compressor is famous for it's glue on the 2 bus. From all the different emulations I've tried, this is BY FAR the best emulation - no need to look past UAD for this. I hadn't expected this to make such a difference, WOW

ssl g buss compressor
I bought this on impulse when it was on special without checking the demo version first. I had expected great results, but to be honest given the hype, but I was quite disappointed. I have fab filter pro limiter last up in the mastering chain and the Neve VR88 master buss before the pro L. I think the Neve 88 is way more powerful and useful. perhaps the Fab filter pro Limiter does much of the job, but adding the SSL comp before the Pro L did very little to the final mix output sound. not enough wow to warrant the $250 in my opinion. I guess I should demo everything before purchasing anything. a bit disappointed I was......

Spot on
Best SSL channel out there, worth every penny, add to cart!
B. Vladimir
Stick it to the man
The most transparent glue compressor out there. Period.
S. Soares Baptista
Must have
I had been using the demo version for as long as I could and I found it to be the best mixing tool for me, so when it went on sale it was a no brainer. Even at full price this is worth it every penny. The 5 min uad tips video on this helped me a lot to achieve the sounds I was looking for. Definitely a must have, now I'm saving to buy the bus compressor!

Main Bus Compressor
For the record, UAD plug-ins are far more accurate than waves plug-ins! The clarity in the SSL channel strip Eq and the dynamics section is amazing and unmatched unless using the console itself. The software SSL Buss Compressor from UAD has an analog sound that truly adds depth to my mixes just as the console or hardware does. Also, in general UAD plug-ins have made it possible for me to travel with little gear, they have saved me money on gear, enhanced my overall sonic sound and my studio electric bill has diminished to $20 per month. The reason being is, I don't have to use bulky hardware that takes up space which creates a lot of heat in the control room. Thanks UAD for Unison Software Products
