    This thing is the BOSS for quickly and reliably creating AUDIBLE AGGRESSIVE COMPRESSION nearly immediately. Almost nothing equals it. Just imagine 80-channel consoles with these on every channel! Well, I’ve worked on a couple of them. It really was INSANE. You would just pray that the next client into the studio would lay something down intense enough that you could fire all of the guns up and go to town!! ⚡️⚡️✨💥💥💥⚡️⚡️✨💥💥✨⚡️⚡️ POW!!

    Sounds great ... also on the bus. I've worked on 4kE and G and 9kJ SSLs and I always loved not only the compressors, but especially the gates! Even if you do not dial in the compressors and the gates, they do a lot. Have to try out some of the SSL 500 modules finally!

    Actually I’m pretty sure the 4KB comps are feedback rather than the E series’s feedforward so this makes this comp closer to the SSL bus comp.

    Interesting, I definitely get bus comp vibes.

    When you say 19db of reference level, what do you mean? For example what should the peaks be hitting in the daw? -19? Or do you mean +19 of gain over 0? I'm not following.

    the ssl native 4kb plug in really behaves like the hardware as it turns out. it really nails this

    There are days that I seriously miss my SSL J9080 Console (I don't miss the cost of running it) - it's the EQs and Dynamics I miss the most - even having 6-8 channels would be lovely. Wondering how does the B dynamics compare to the E series which I imagine would be closer to my old J desk.

    I worked on Patchwerks J9000 and the Boom Boom Room's J9000 and a ton of E and G 4000's fron NYC, All, and LA. The biggest difference between the 4000 EQ's and Comps and the 9000 EQ's and comps are the 4000 are more mid agressive while the 9000 series are slightly less aggressive but more open across the freq range. If I could have 4000 EQ's and Comps for drums and 9000 EQ's and comps for musical instruments I would be in heaven.
