Why I bought an SSL SIX!!

[@VaughnGeorge]

I recently purchased an SSL SIX for the production of my new Vaughty "Dark Society" Album. In this video I explain my reasons for purchasing the SSL SIX as well as do an unboxing and initial reaction before heading down to see my Mix Engineer, Andy Marlow and leave the unit with him in preparation for mixing the album.

[@samborn7120]

I think it was a great purchase Vaughn. Even used a single summing stereo signal, it will improve the overall noise-to-ratio for your tracks. I have the SSL-2 and I do notice a slightly improved overall distortion reduction and greater bandwidth 👌

[@ReginatorNet]

I've been eyeing the SSL SIX for a short while, and I can't wait to see how you guys use it. It was a surprise to see the SSL SIX pop up as a GEEK TALK subject... especially since my KZbin history is full of SSL research. I thought this was just another KZbin recommendation until I saw it was you, Vaughn!

[@EspenKraft]

Best of luck with the SiX Vaughn. I've been very happy with mine and almost everything I do gets touched by it, in some way. I use it every day. Cheers! :D

[@Sams911]

Love mine... Best mixer that can be easily obtained by us mortals without 10's of thousands of dollars!

As a recovering gear addict, I have to stop watching this video early before I start thinking i need this for making horrible covers in my basement 🤣 .... so I'm leaving this comment for the algo instead and will watch you next vid 2 times

[@VaughnGeorge]

Hahahha bless you bro !! I feel your pain. VG :-)

Me too with you

Great video subscribed. Can u imagine a uf8 with a six. Motorized faders. A combo maybe NAMM

[@VaughnGeorge]

Thank you and welcome on board!! VG :-)

[@AnalogX64]

If this was the 90's I would have ordered one :) although it does make me want to get the gear out of storage and starting making music again.

Dynaudio monitors are amazing !

[@syracusemusic1539]

Good geek talk

[@bigbassjonz]

Are you using this for putting an analogue sound in your mix?

[@soulieobelissevan]

How did it work out in the end? Did you notice an improved sound?

[@outdatedgear5036]

I have a 500 series rack and I’m thinking about getting the ssl channel strip for it. Wondering if i should save for this instead.

[@Rolanoid]

Interested to see how this goes. It costs $2300 here in Australia. Disclosure have the same mixer and also the Fusion.

[@clipz1]

how has this treated you guys is there any updates? does seem like a good bit of kit but overall im stuck between adding somthing like this or an actual good compressor on a rack

[@prcption8636]

Are the EQs analog EQs as well?

[@VaughnGeorge]

Yes they are!! VG :-)

[@FLH3official]

Vaughn, do you plan to record some, or part, of your recording sessions? (or did you and you have some moments to share with us?)

[@444Inlakesh]

Let me know if you need help routing

[@boris_ev]

Is Kevin Paul somehow behind the idea, Vaughn? :)

[@Dolle_Man]

Sooooo they just released a bigger brother, the Big SiX 😅

[@deandresmith5761]

Just add the Ssl+ and it's nearly the same set up

[@wawilisoundsolutions3067]

How can you do summing with that?? do you mean add some analogue circuitry???

[@VaughnGeorge]

We did do summing with it and it sounds amazing, Hear the result here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p3m7hYiqdpmSecU

[@wawilisoundsolutions3067]

@@VaughnGeorge Yeah but how is that summing and not revamping or adding analogue saturation. I would think there is not enough channels to do all the busses or did you only have 4 busses to Sum?

[@johnboston666]

@@wawilisoundsolutions3067 Hi there, this allows 12 channels of analogue summing using the various inputs (using the DB25 connection). Cheers.

[@madfox6039]

Bet he’s kicking himself now

[@Ben01635]

24 minutes of looking at the thing; doesn't even switch it on! Maybe do another review once you've used it and let us know whether it lives up to your expectations!

[@VaughnGeorge]

Ben we’ve used it to make my new album and it is awesome !! A video on this will be released !! Cheers bro!! VG

[@teashea1]

Nice video with good production values. Good style of presentation. (I have a Big Six and and considering whether or not to also purchase a Six). However ...... That trashy little studio does not inspire confidence.

Thank you my friend!! VG 🎹👍😎

[@thecliqueshallsetyoufree8745]

I actually clicked on the video just to look for a comment like this ..lol ..such is life

[@bigbassjonz]

11 minutes in and still no idea what this is.

[@77advanced]

Analogue summing on 2 stereo tracks and 2 mono? Seriously?) And by the way it is good mixer, but sterile as f.

[@VaughnGeorge]

"Sterile"?? Strongly disagree!! We have used this piece of kit extensively on my new album. A/B comparisons between "In the box" mixes as opposed to stems mixed through the SSL. The SSL version is a hands down winner, adding something that is not evident on the "in the box mixes". VG :-)

[@Dougie-]

To be fair you can sum 12 channels. Not only 6.
