The same with an outboard SSL G Quad compressor. It really comes into its own when used at the end of a real console.
Doing isolated tests always fooled me into believing I could do everything ITB now and then when doing a whole project it miserably failed, whereas my OTB SSL mixes just deliver in any aspect. Punch, 3D, solid bass, dynamics. I get there without any big effort whereas ITB with Duende, Waves SSL, etc. everything starts getting smaller and lifeless very quickly if you are not careful. |
Probably no doubt about that. But there are few, including me, that will ever get the chance to do that unfortunatelly. Meanwhile I'm happy with my Duende and looking forward to fill up the X-Rack, strip by strip
