It's so hard to find good videos about real analog consoles rather than their respective channel strip plug-ins.

@@ChadBlondel Thank you!

As a lover of SSL plugins, this is so interesting to see the Real McCoy. Thanks!

I love to see that it's been nicely recapped! Even noticed the C9 upgrade on the VCA card. Glad to see desks properly being tech'ed, especially when so many of them get neglected and nearly scrapped!

Really impressive engineering by SSL.

Thank you for the info about SSL console...I was searching for this kind of video for long time and couldn't find except this 👍👍

Great video! Never get tired of seeing a 4000 described!

Thank you for your Video Chad! i just bought a 4000G+ previously owned by Stone Temple Pilots. Your video is very very helpful! Cheers from Los Angeles

This is absolutely incredible. Thank you!

Great explanation of this console working, thanks

Thank you for explaining the SSL desks.

You went in depth - thanks for that

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I'm probably never going to touch anything like this... But I can always dream and I love these kinda videos. You're amazing! Thanks

Never say never mate, we've got a studio here in my country that actually houses a real 4000 and I definetly want to go and at least redo one of our tunes Which would be a great excuse to put my greasy mits all over it

The filter section to dynamics out, with the parallel routing in the SSL, is something all the plugins get wrong, you are able to use the eq normally, and the filters to go to the compressor. In the plugins, the filter and eq section goes through so you cannot use the eq as a normal eq, it becomes a side-chain.

Thank you for your valuable intro😍❤️🙏

Love this. Make more. How you integrate you DAw and console Work flow ...

​@@ChadBlondelYes please! And also routing!

such a masterpiece

Cool video. Nice add for people that don’t know, you pull the red mic knob up to engage 48v phantom power.. could be the other way around. It’s been years but it’s worth knowing for using onboard mic pres. Excellent explanations. The touring matrix is what people need the most help with I find.

What is the difference between a ssl and a neve and api and how they give it a natural saturation ?

How nice. Is spareparts awaileble?

Big boy shit! Mybe in my next life I will own one.

Can you make a video about this SSL 4000 like super beginners stuff. I understand most of it but some of them I couldn't so please make video about this...🙏🙏🙏

Hotswapping channels is fine largely, but you will blow VCA chips. As you say at the end, it's best to turn off the bank that you're swapping into with the relevant dip-switch below the patchbay.

Absolutely, hotswapping is not recommended :)

Hi ! Great vidéo ! Someone have a user manual of this console plz ? Thanks !

What kind of screwdriver do you need for this? Is it JIS or Pozi screwdriver? Thank you

Does it cost like a house and require dedicated power plant?

Hi...This console can be use only with Pro Tools? And I can mix song without external effects and patch bay? For example VST like Kontakt and the plugins from Pro Tools. And it want to turn the EQ for a bass from Kontakt it works without Patchbay and External EQ? Thanks

No, you can use any DAW. If I understand you correctly, you don't use the console in it's full potential. Maybe you should stick with your DAW and your plugins.^^

Hi Chad! That’s the one than needs an extra room with A/C for its computer?

Normally it would need its own machine room with AC, but I built a switch mode supply which runs super quiet and doesn't need a cooled room 😀

How many microphones does that console takes

Can somebody please explain why this board is worth so much money and what it does compared to my mixer on Logic Pro

It’s a massive amount of components, while the plug-in is just software. If you are asking why it could be worth it vs software, well, only if you are a professional studio or mixing engineer but analog still sounds better than software to some people’s ears. Work with what you have got.

Bobs my unclem . Hi bob. 15.25

I don't get it, why are there so many rows? it's all the same buttons and stuff

Holy crap thats a lot of options

Very good your video about this fantastic ssl 4000! You just needed to explain how the soundboard is connected to the computer. How do you connect it to the pc? Do you use a usb audio interface for this? How would this interface be?
