Waves ssl compressor vs the glue.
The master section compressor on the ssl 4000 series consoles is legendary and the waves ssl g master buss compressor accurately recreates the controls sound and behavior of this vca compressor.
The waves ssl compressor has an added harmonic at about 750hz while the cytomic variant has a bump at around 150hz and 250hz which the is not present in the waves s model.
And if the glue is better comparable i might just look at some other eq s b c i have the cla compressors and the cla signature thing with all the easy to use stuff.
Readings at 250hz with 3 5db of compression attack 3 release 1 waves is in red cytomic in white the readings are even closer at 500hz.
You get continuously variable threshold and makeup gain knobs.
I ve been considering buying the waves ssl bundle but many have suggested that the best thing about the ssl bundle is the buss comp.
