1. Introduction
The unique sound of Solid State Logic 4000 Series analogue mixing consoles is sought after
worldwide. Engineers of pop and rock music, broadcast transmissions and television post-production
value the SSL 4000’s flexible dynamics chain as much as the trademark SSL “punchy” sound. Waves
and SSL engineers have worked together for over a year to recreate the sound characteristics of the
classic SSL 4000 Series E and Series G consoles. Now, those who “mix in the box” can achieve the
sound they thought they’d lost when they moved to the digital world.
The SL4000 console was the first mixing desk to incorporate dynamics processing into every channel,
as well as a master bus compressor in the console’s center section. The ability to 'patch' into the
SL4000's master bus compressor and to control its sidechain from an internal sub-mix allowed sound
engineers to discover unique, history-making applications of this console technology. Whether used
to record instruments such as piano and drums or for final mixing, these innovative console sections -
master bus compressor, EQ and dynamics - opened up a new world of opportunities. For years,
workstation users have sought this unusual flexibility and signature sound. But conventional
dynamics and EQ plug-ins couldn’t produce the unique SSL color.
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 four main components:

E-Channel

