I love the waves ssl e channel on beyoncé s vocals.
Waves ssl e channel vocals.
The waves ssl e channel is modeled after the sl4000 e series console combining the dynamics section of the sl4000 channel strip with the black knob 242 eq.
Developed under license from solid state logic the ssl e channel strip plugin delivers the incomparable sound of the ssl 4000 series console dynamics and eq.
He then plays verse one with the lead vocals going through the vocal bus he just created and starts tweaking the effects.
The hpf has a great curve i generally set it around 100 to.
Eq for lead vocals no other eq shines up a lead vocal like waves ssl channel.
He begins by opening the ssl e channel and boosting 9db at 8 khz which is a pretty significant amount.
You get all the sparkle and clarity without any harshness a purely analog sounding silky.
Dial in a nice top end boost around 8 or 10 khz and a slight hi pass filter to eliminate rumble and you immediately have the vocal sound of countless hit records.
The only noticeable change from the hardware original is that the eq and dynamics sections are side by side rather than inline to.
The waves ssl 4000 e channel and g channel channel strip plugins bundled in the ssl 4000 collection were developed under license from solid state logic and are modeled after the e series and g series consoles respectively.
