![]() According to Studio One’s Performance Monitor, 40 circa-2006 SSL E-Channel plugins require about 2% of the CPU’s power, while 40 SSL EV2 plugins require about 17%. However, this sophistication demands more from computers. Although the original plugins emulated an SSL, SSL EV2 (licensed by Solid State Logic) has essentially become an SSL. When comparing the original and updated SSL E-series plugins, the SSL EV2 has a richer, more detailed sound quality, with greater high frequency transparency. Coders could go only so far before running into a brick wall of available CPU power.įast forward to today, when advanced processors allow for more sophisticated and detailed emulations. Back then, plugin designs were constrained by CPU performance. ![]() ![]() We’ve all learned a lot since 2006-the year when Apple started its transition from PowerPC to Intel, Windows was still on XP, Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” topped Billboard’s Hot 100 and Intel released the Core 2 Duo. Well, testing and working with the SSL EV2 answered that initial question. Also, the workflow-oriented CLA MixHub includes an emulation of Chris Lord-Alge’s personal SSL E-Series console. When I first heard about SSL EV2-a new SSL E-series emulation-my initial question was “Why? What’s really different?” After all, Waves’ original SSL E-series and G-series channel strip plugins (introduced in 20 respectively) have become industry standards. Now, with SSL EV2, the game has been changed again. ![]() For years, Waves’ SSL E-Channel and G-Channel strips set the standard for console emulation.
