[@yobhsiFehT]

I keep feeling like SSL is RIGHT around the corner from releasing like a be-all-end-all home/project studio piece, but they just aren’t quite there yet. Some sort of hybrid between this, the UC1, and the Six or Big Six… 🤞🏻🤞🏻 Maybe 😊

[@DJSlaughter]

I heard a KZbinr say that they may be even working on a DAW. Not sure if that's true but it would be interesting

[@yobhsiFehT]

@@DJSlaughter Hm… THAT, to me, would feel like a “me too” product - ESPECIALLY after Luna - but yeah, I guess we’ll see!

[@Ultimate_Wasabi]

@@yobhsiFehT It's not even a rumor. I heard one KZbinr talk about a DAW, but another thought that SSL is positioned to make a modular interface/console since they have the controllers, the 360 software, summing mixers, and interfaces. I was hoping for a little more out of this interface, but their target appears to Audient rather than integrating with their existing products.

[@jeremyryannoel]

They recently added the 9000J EQ to 32C-10 Pro, not sure if they’re offering upgrade pricing though.

[@k.s.8959]

I like where they are going... i was one of those guys that asked for a bigger one, but i would love to see a 8/8. I have just two Outs left here after connecting my monitors. Then a Stereo Pair to my outboard-chain and then i'd love to make use of a mono DC coupled out to my modular and maybe another synth. I know headphones can be switched to line outs but yeah... But i'm still happy to see SSL continue this series of interfaces. 🥰

[@TheDilligan]

I love the 2+ What it really needed most was an ADAT input for expandability. Glade they added it to the new one. I think this is a gamechanger and will lead to many more pros using this interface.

[@RideTheLightning93]

The major downside is that they added four ports to the front when the 2+ had a perfect rear-only layout :/ It's a desktop interface and I don't need cables in the front, so the 2+ it is. What a bummer. Also, do the two Hi-Z inputs in the front disable the first two microphone preamps on the back? I know Audient's EVO 8 does this, for instance.

[@TheDilligan]

@@RideTheLightning93 I imagine the front ports are just a convenience option if you are sitting at the desk and want to plug a guitar directly in. I bet you can just as easily only use the back ports. What I would like is if they just added an ADAT port to the 2+.

No direct hardware monitoring/blend control for that is a must for me. Shocked they didn't include that.

[@andyjackson88]

It's all handled in the SSL 12 software mixer (with lots more flexibility about balancing DAW playback against input signals) - one knob to balance up to 12 inputs against USB playback wouldn't have worked very well.

[@MarlonKingShow]

This looks impressive, finally a contender to the audient id44. Would love to know what the ad/da is like on this. One trick they missed was to add a g bus compressor on 1 or 2 of the channels as an on/off switch like on the SiX. That would have been game changing for those with no need for a mixer.

I’ll keep on watching Sweetwater’s videos regardless if I plan to buy or not 😅 just eye candy enough

[@mrrnrob]

Got the UAD Solo..Loving it

[@SMEL]

When you say night and day which interface are you saying? UAD? You did mention the superb sound of the SSL, how would you compare it to the UAD?

[@ChinoMagliba]

@@SMEL night and day between UAD and SSL. In terms of how I use it. In sounds, it’s really hard to describe because most of interfaces will sound similar but not as clean as a high end preamp like on a UAD. I’ve had latency problems with my SSL, for Idk why, I was using the same computer. But now as I’ve upgraded my system, it doesn’t really matter since UAD has almost zero latency monitoring since it has it’s own processing. That itself is the “experience” that is incomparable. I am speaking as a guitarist who practices a lot in the box. And also a producer/engineer who does this on the side.

[@SMEL]

@@ChinoMagliba thanks that's helpful!!! most gear these days come down to workflow... I like the fact your speaking as a guitarist. I'm a Mac user and looking to record guitarist directly in... I have some current options, but want a one step option, just input and play, but want an interface with character (musical). This is what grabs my attention on the SSL vid.

Simply buy 2 SSL (soothing sandwich lovers) tape them together and prepare your desired sandwich. Then place your sandwich inside your SSL. And wait for your Mac or PC to overheat your SSL. Before your SSL explodes remove your sandwich from the SSL. Serve and enjoy.

[@jamesbatcho]

Show us the back! I have the SSL2+ and this indeed does address what's been missing from that unit. The major issue is being limited to two inputs. The pres are wonderful, the dual headphone outs are easy for setup. What's interesting is the loss of the Input/USB knob which is helpful for balancing the record/playback signals. Not sure from this video how they address that loss.

[@M.e.molina]

You use the SSL 360 software to create that as a mix virtually. But I must say, I do like the knob as it is handy and quick as opposed to going into the software and configuring it.

[@aceedmond8053]

Thanks Mitch, another great gear video covering all the important info.

[@matthewrios3241]

Yes!!! This will be my next interface. I almost bought the 2+2 on Black Friday but wanted a little more I/o and Adat. This is it and more and that price is very competitive

[@ThemFuzzyMonsters]

I struggle to believe it can reliably feed 48v to four microphones, headphones, etc. from a single USB power feed. I’d like to see that bench tested. Many non-pro devices are weak with their 48v feeds, so this might be on par with those.

[@richsadowsky8580]

very nice, concise explainer Mitch,. I have an SSL 2+ (bought from Sweetwater of course). I bought it after all my existing interfaces showed either quirks or complete failures on my first M1 Mac (a MacBook Air A1). Then I got a MBP 14" M1pro. I tried the MOTU product and it was worse than the old USB A/Intel CPU generation AIs. After talking with Richie, my SE, and my own research, I decided the SSL 2+ would get the job done with lots of desirable, modern, compatible features. Boy were the two Rich's right that this was the right system for me. I love it and it works on all my M1/M? Macs perfectly. The problem is I need 4 inputs for my current work. The older interfaces I have that support that would require me to configure and use older Intel Macs. Once you go M1 you don't look back. My first question was does SSL have an upgraded product to the SSL 2+. YES. Is it reasonably affordable: YES and no. In Jan the cash should flow. Also need new guitar (excellent value such as Fender Mexican Tele or Strat or maybe even classic vibe and small tube amp head (low wattage). But all that other quipment doesn't come into scope until the audio interface and audio signals are all properly cared for. Figuring $1-2k to get things to where I want them for 2024. Thanks for turning us on to this SSL 12. I will be buying one.

I have an SSL 2+ and really like it. I only wish that it didn't have its outputs 3 and 4 on RCA connectors and that you could easily set it up to run 2 sets of monitors independently, but then again, that's why SSL have released this new interface.

[@jamesankiewicz3141]

I actually like the RCA outputs a lot… to each his own I guess… It makes it easy to connect if you have old-school equipment or home stereo system… for me, I have an AMC 2445 power amp (rca inputs) that I really like… Four channels … I can use a Y cables and split the SSL’s rca then have two sets of monitors… Tannoy Reveals and Some acoustic research speakers… plus the main out going to M-audio bx8 studiophiles… So three different sets of monitors… me likes!

[@LightWthoutTheStatic]

The fact that companies still refuse to have adat-out while going through the effort of putting adat-in is getting truly painful. Immediate disqualifier for me, especially in a mid-size 4 channel interface. Having the input is great, but owning a Cranborne 500ADAT, I just want to be able to mix analog via adat, and it's amazing how few interfaces have adat-out. To me this would have been perfect with that one addition, especially now that it's a digitally controlled interface with the app.

Hi, Eugenio! Thanks for your interest. After double-checking SSL’s specifications, it doesn’t look like there is a pad on any of the inputs.

Alright sweetwater, was a loyal customer I need an answer to this: Why is Mitch wearing both a lab mic & a headset thing? You guys trying to pull off some sort of dual mic feedback prevention thing? Because that would be pretty cool...

[@sweetwater]

Thanks for watching - the two mics weren’t for feedback prevention or for redundancy as some have suggested (those are good guesses though!). I was using one mic to feed into the SSL12 so there was signal for the demo. But we needed a separate voice feed that wasn’t affected when I moved faders, changed settings, etc., during the demo. We did cut to the mic feeding the SSL12 when I switched Legacy 4K on and off. Hope this helps, Mitch

[@denniskielton2447]

@@sweetwater Ahhh, I see, that makes a lot of sense. Of course you'd need a separate feed that isn't affected by what you're currently demoing, I was just too focused on the product itself since it's one that I'm pretty interested in (I've been on an SSL kick lately, basically emulating every part of an SSL 4000 that I can without actually buying one, and this would be an awesome addition to that, maybe to add it through ADAT to my current rig.) My guess about the feedback thing, was based off seeing how the Grateful Dead used their monstrous sound system, the Wall of Sound, and hearing about how they used a 2-mic system to kill feedback since there was just no possible way to not have a mic facing a speaker. It was pretty wild & interesting system they had going. And I also assumed you weren't doing some sort of "lets record 2 mics at a time and choose which we like better" thing either haha I'm sure you're past that stage, and probably know what you like by now. So thanks for the response! It's just one more reason why I LOVE you guys and will continue to shop there even when I can get better discounts other places. Service is more important than anything for musicians, I believe, and Sweetwater is killing the game in every way possible. I just wish I was over there teaching music instead of here in South Bend, I really think you guys are the best company in the world, especially when it comes to your employees.

[@MarlonKingShow]

Hey, I have the ur28m also, its a tough cookie to beat. I'm just not a fan of the mic pres. I also would disagree on the headphones and di not being on the front. That is my one frustration with the ur28m as I think for quick plug and play makes more sense for front agree for something always plugged in, back is preferable. Have you been tempted to upgrade yet?

[@Harrysound]

@@MarlonKingShow yes I have been. The UR28m is 10 years old, thankfully it’s not discontinued. Nothing beats it. Certainly not in desktop form. The design of most interfaces are clearly about construction costs rather than real world work flow. I use an AXe FX via SPDIF, that gets rid of the issues of balancing analogue stereo inputs and needless AD conversions. Most high end interfaces have SPDIF but I don’t want a rank unit and I don’t need 8 analogue ins or whatever. The dim switch and mono, mute switches are super useful on the UR28m. I haven’t made use of the mix button until recently where I would put a track in Cubase the entire length of my project set to mix 2 then use the mix button to switch between my signal and what is a reference track. The UR28m is so close to perfect for 90% of home studios, it just needs that update of modern features like bus power.

Wow. This sounds great

[@marnuswessels1]

Kinda wished it had 4 or 6 outs as well. Just got excited thinking this could be a 1st for someone who might want to start using outboard gear... nevermind.

It's got 4 dedicated outputs on the rear but the cool thing is you can also re-purpose the HP A and HP B as additional Line Outputs if you like (giving you 6 total), although granted 2 will be used for monitors at least.

you can use the two separate headphone mixes for outboard sends and adjust your routing with the software.

Audient iD44 vs SSL12.. which one better in sound quality wide? and features

[@Ultimate_Wasabi]

I saw "12" and hoped for a moment that they actually made an interface that would output 12 channels for summing with the SSL Six. Guess I was hoping too much. ADAT in only? Really? At least with an ADAT out and a convertor, it would be a cheaper way of getting 12 output channels. You'd think they would make an interface that would go along with one of their best selling products.

Hi Na Banana, great question! Those outputs would work better with an Amp than the balanced signal, but I fear there would still be a bit of an impedance mismatch. This wouldn’t break anything of course, but could result in unexpected our suboptimal performance from the amp. I would still strongly consider a proper re-amp box like this guy: www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ProRMP--radial-prormp-1-channel-passive-re-amping-device This would ensure that you get a proper high-Z signal into the amp's input.

Bought an SSL2 about a year ago and it crapped out on me. Be warned about these interfaces ... I don't know if I just bought a lemon, but mine was extremely noisy even with nothing plugged into the inputs, and eventually the second instrument channel stopped working completely. Trouble shot every option after thinking it might be a grounding problem.. Nope...I picked one up because of the rave revues ... it was a mistake. Watch out for these things ... gonna bite the bullet and just opt for the apollo twin. The SSL stuff feels like a cheap plastic build and a bit gimmicky.
