But in any case, the SSL's own version sounded much better, and it comes with it's own firewire DSP host to run 32 mono tracks of SSL eq and compression. Also although it's an SSL eq its' quite different from the waves version because it's modelled on the C200 and a bunch of other really cool technology incorporated into their more recent desks, whereas the waves SSL is strictly a 4000 emulation. I had a listen to SSL's OWN version via a quicktime yesterday and I have to it was quite the opposite - it sounded great (they seemed to have a reasonably good encoding on the quicktime - near cd quality). I wasn't impressed overly certainly not for the price. When the download completed, the plugin was in my DAW, ready for use.I own all the waves stuff except the Plat bundle and last year I demoed the SSL they had on offer. Note: I downloaded the JJP plugin and in the download dialogue I told it I was using Studio One. I'm satisfied with ease of use, price, sound. I don't have to learn anything, per say, just apply the plugin to a track, pick a preset, go! It is that fast, it is that simple. This is why the Waves JJP signature series works great for me. My deal is that I want to record, mix tracks and use my songs to sell online and I also want to use rough demos to share with band mates to help improve our live performances. And it sounds a thousand times better than my best effort/guesses through Studio One. Using ONE plugin on a track vs applying a compressor, limiter, gate, verb, EQ from the Studio One software has been a dream come true for me.
I've only been home recording for a year, but after much consideration I chose to buy the JJP Signature bundle from Waves (I got it for $100 on sale and it came with specific plugins for guitars, bass guitars, vox, drums and cymbals). In my peripheral vision, people seemed to be paying a lot of money (and I think complaining about it?).but the quality was high and appreciated.
A persistent complaint: hate paying for WUP (ongoing service & plug ugrades when needed due to operating systems changes.)
And no comments that these are a better investment than other links in the chain. No comments that these non-specialty plugins are life-changing. (including: great emulations, very good free, or paid that have come a long way since Waves was hot) Or, look elsewhere for the best of all that's out there. Others, variably, says stock is fine, or just as good they use Waves because they already owned it pre-S1. Some think some in the gold bundle are very good, are used all the time, even have features not in stock plugs. My overall impression from comments here and also on another audio board are: Still figuring this out, I think I'm close
