The World’s Finest Emulations of the SSL 4000 G+* Channel Strip and Buss Compressor, Together at Last.
For those who don’t already know, the SSL 4000* is famous as the mixing console behind more platinum records than any other console in history. With the UAD 4K Classic Console Bundle, you’ll have what many professionals view as the world’s most accurate emulations of this famous console at your disposal — ready for use on your Mac- or PC-based system. Specifically, the UAD 4K Classic Console Bundle combines two of our best-selling UAD Powered Plug-Ins — the UAD 4K Channel Strip and UAD 4K Buss Compressor -- and unites them into a convenient, discounted bundle, saving you 22% versus buying them separately.
UAD 4K Channel Strip
With its wide range of transparent to in-your-face VCA compression characteristics and its intuitive EQ — rich with colorful band interdependencies — the UAD 4K Channel Strip emulates the console channel from the 4000* in all its hit-making glory. The UAD 4K Channel Strip is an exacting circuit emulation of the 4000 G+* complete with the Type E “black knob” four-band EQ and filters widely held to be the favorite in SSL’s signal processing lineage.
UAD 4K Buss Compressor
The UAD 4K Buss Compressor emulates the console dynamics from the SSL 4000* with dead-on results. With its simple control set and wonderfully transparent compression characteristics, UA has captured this undisputed icon of record production with exacting accuracy. The UAD 4K Buss Compressor is a circuit emulation of the 4000 G+* and the perfect companion to the UAD 4K Channel Strip.
Note: All UAD Powered Plug-Ins require a UAD-2 or previous-generation UAD-1 card, as well as the latest version of the Powered Plug-Ins software, available here.
