Ahhh! Thank You UA
This update is amazing. Finally , the plug behaves like the original hardware. Now, the comp can engage in the PLUS territory.
I'm a big believer in bus comps only engaging ( threshold) in the plus db area. No mix bus comp should have to dive into the minus 0 domain . The magic should happen after 0.
And most importantly, this thing sounds like sunshine in the morning!!
It has that "ahhh there it is" vibe to it.

Best SSL emulation
Can't compare with the original hardware, however I can say it does sound better than most of the hardware "clones" (TK, GSSL, etc...). And most of all, it sounds better than the other SSL bus compressor plugins. This one is really special, and adds a little something to the sound. The only thing is I think it softens a little bit the mix sometimes, but if you need clean and aggressive compression, there are plenty other compressors on the market for that. But if you want the classic glue sound, this is the one you need.

Lives Up to its Name
The SSL 4000 E is yet another triumph for UA. It really gives life to any decently recorded audio track and is a workhorse plug-in for tracking and mixing. Very good value.

Our Favourite Unison
This one is our favourite and for good reason. It does amazing work on vocals, bass, guitar, drums, etc. Multi-faceted and singular if need be.
A. Lind
Awesome!
I had the original "upgraded" version which was great. I really didn't know what could be an improvement worth the upgrade price but the difference is obvious and immediately apparent! It's just better, period! This new emulation just has a noticeable "smack" that that hardware has and once I heard it in the demo, it was easy to decide to get it! (As easy as parting with $$ can be anyway lol)! If you like and or use the ssl compressor you need to check this out!

SSL 4000 Series Console Bundle Review
I worked as a staff engineer at A&M in the 90s. I know the SSLs. I now have the full collection of strips. I wish I had purchased this channel strip first. Wow, This is Punch! This is Smooth! This is Amazing! I can't believe how different all the strips are. I now have the flavor I need for the closest authentic board sound manufactured. All the Gearslutz and all the forms agree...UAD makes the best sounding plugins. This is the best emulation plugin of not just an SSL Channel but of all Channel Strip Plugins. Love, Love, Love it!!! - GILROY

Thick Like Glue
I’ve been waiting to get my hands on this one. Sounds amazing and with the side chain filter and mix knob makes it so much more versatile. I love it!

Tools for a
I love how this channel strip is not polite. It's got character and you can get some dirt with the fader too. The bus comp holds the mix together and the side chain is excellent in that the bass doesn't steal the fire from your mix.

My favorite Channel Strip so far .
The new SSL micpre is very good. add those harmonic to all the instruments.
and the G bus comp is useful for bus mix and also master bus.
Anyway, it's nice to purchase this bundle.

Sounds Identical to my X-Rack Hardware
This channel strip is ridiculous, I don't care how much DSP it uses. I compared it to my Xrack E series modules and they're identical, like indistinguishable. Very impressive.
