But mine has a little steakhouse flavoring in the meat and client A and D think its the best thing they've ever tasted because that's their thing. You're burger might use peppercorns instead of ground pepper, and client B and C love the crap out of it because they love that stuff. Individual preference doesn't mean something is #1, its just another flavor to add to the mix along with the rest of the ingredients. Whatever evidence you bring up proving the SSL 4000 is the best console, would just get knocked down by someone with the same evidence claiming their API/Neve/Trident/etc was the best console. And since the plugin is an emulation of one, particular console, how can we prove it's the best sounding console, or one that has the most mojo? We can't.Well no one was saying it was THE BEST console in any way. Since I really have no reference to an actual SSL console, the plugin is just another compressor, IMO. This is a great comparison article by Waves. Not sure if the Analog button does anything special. Input trim is helpful too, as well as the I/O metering. The Gate and Expander are also quite useful. The compressor is solid and can get pretty wacky fast, all leading to interesting and creative results. Now, the E-Channel plugin-I like this one. And since the plugin is an emulation of one, particular console, how can we prove it's the best sounding console, or one that has the most mojo? We can't. I want to like it fully, and I do feel it is better than and has more flavor than Cytomic's the Glue and Ableton Live's built-in Glue compressor (also by Cytomic, but maybe slightly "stripped down?"), but the "magic mojo" of the SSL Comp may be a little lost on me. IMO, there is really no point in those last two. I have no need for the two, redundant G-Channel and-EQ.
