However, very few “real” mix engineers, who were well acquainted with the genuine article, were ever highly convinced by said console emulations plug-ins. There have been others whom have produced some pretty good-sounding plug-ins: Metric Halo, Solid State Logic themselves, Universal Audio, and a few others. Mind you, the release price of Waves’ SSL 4000 Collection was steep -peaking the money meter at around $1200 USD! Ouch. By my estimation, one of the first developers to really come up with something good was Waves back in January of 2006. Great strides have been taken within the digital (and computer) domains to achieve some decent approximations of the hallowed large-desk-console sound. After all, how many bedroom producers and home studio enthusiasts have access to $150, 000(+) SSL, Harrison or Neve recording desks? Ask any experienced, old skool mix-engineer what his/her preference is, in regard to getting “ that hit record sound”, and I expect that the answer will most nearly always be the same: “ Use a studio-grade analogue recording chain.”.
