Cheaper than a console
Makes the waves version sound muddy and muffled by comparison.

This is one of the 2-3 sterebus compressors that I use nowadays. And I’m not a big fan of compression on master bus. But this one truly ADDS to the song - not just compresses it. I feel 3d vibe and overall a shift in the feel of the record and I love it - definitely adds to the industry professional sound we’re all looking forD. Flett
SSL 4000 E Channel strip Collection - Excellent!
I am impressed with the sound of this plug in. I wanted it for a while but when the special offer appeared along with a coupon, it was a no-brainer. A must have for any recording set up!

Mixing with SSL 4000 Console right in your computer
A must have for mixing, easy to use, everything sounds great through an SSL Channel Strip !

Industry standard plug-ins!
I moved my first steps into learning mixing/mastering on a SSL AWS 924. I loved that sound on the channel strips and compressor. As you already know, those are desks that cost a fortune. Even if is not the emulation of the SSL AWS 924 that I'm used to, the sound of this plug-ins is amazing as you expect from SSL. I have compared those plugins to few direct competitors and I guarantee that the UA version is superior quality!

Warm, soft and pretty compressor.
I use uad's many compressors.
1176, 175-b, 176, Shadow Hill, LA-2A, Fairchild, SSL, 33609 etc.
All are very interesting compressors that sound differently.
The SSL 4000 G Bus Comp is my favorite compressor.
The reason is that it sticks well in any case.
The SSL 4000 G Bus Comp does not spoil the original source.
I also use the legacy version as well.
It's soft, warm and feels good.
When recording instruments, I sometimes use the SSL 4000 G Bus Comp instead of an equalizer to create color.
Be sure to try the 14-day demo and see if it works for you.
I love G compS. Auclair
The Ultimate Glue!

Very good
Sounds really good and defined.

Amazing
It is a DSP hog so I mainly use it for tracking, vocals and wow! It does the job, if you record with any UA interface it is a must have...
A. Grigoriadis
nice plugin but loses then it comes to resources consumption
the sound of this plugin is better than the waves emulation and has a nice warm and clean sound , but it's resource hungry like hell !
F. Quillet
Great
I use it with a C414 and it work amazing.
K. Kajiya
That's great!
UAD is the most beautiful plugin in the world.

AMAGING！
The best emulation of SSL console!
s. hunter
As you would expect...
The SSL 4000E channel strip sounds as good as I have come to expect from any UAD product. This probably sounds a little anal, but I would really like a little more variety in the presets that could include synths, pianos, strings and horns....just a bigger variety to get started. A little thing, but I think a good one. Otherwise, you guys all know out there by now that it will sound fab!...steve

Punchy and tight
This channel tighten up my tracks, and give them a little punch. Nice overall sound i think !!
M. Drasner
The Best
So I have been sifting through various channel strip and amp emulation plugins to find the right sound for monitoring bass guitar, and then voila! This SSL strip has hit a major home run in my book! I look forward to testing it with all different kinds of instruments and vocals, but it’s hard to put the bass down!
