What are your favorite SSL Plugins (Solid State Logic) Audio Plugins?
I can't upload mine right now, but will do so later on.

Who wouldn't? But if you are on a tight budget the waves' plugins are pretty decent.I'm leaning more and more towards an X-rack.
No, the X-Rack is a family of analog modules from SSL (EQ, Comp, Line Mixer, Master Bus Comp) that you configure to your needs in a 3-space rack lunchbox (which can accommodate up to 8 modules. The module's circuits are supposed to be the same found in their AWS and Duality consoles. It is really like having a chunk of a SSL console.Doesn't the X-rack just allow you to use your outboard gear as a plug in?
It's like having a chunk of one of the digital desks. That doesn't suck but it's not the same thing as having a chunk of a 4000 series.No, the X-Rack is a family of analog modules from SSL (EQ, Comp, Line Mixer, Master Bus Comp) that you configure to your needs in a 3-space rack lunchbox (which can accommodate up to 8 modules.

well, maybe it's not the sound of the 4000 series... but it is the analog bit of the AWS and the Duality what you get with these modules.It's like having a chunk of one of the digital desks. That doesn't suck but it's not the same thing as having a chunk of a 4000 series.
Yeah, I've mixed on the 9000 series. They are very nice consoles...but they really don't have the "SSL sound" that I get out of my plugins which are modeled after or sampled from the classic 4000 series desks. If you're looking for color (granted, console coloration in the flavor of SSL 4000 series is still a fairly subtle sound) there are better, cheaper choices.well, maybe it's not the sound of the 4000 series... but it is the analog bit of the AWS and the Duality what you get with these modules.
They use their new super analog, capacitor-less circuitry. It does have the SSL sound, but it has more headroom. These babies don't suck at all!!
