Gearslutz.com - View Single Post - Waves V-Series vs API Collection vs SSL 4000 Collection -- I can only afford one

Tube World · 26th August 2009

Everyone has different taste. I like the V Series the best for two reasons.
1. It adds a pleasant character to the mix...more analog sounding. Yes the SSL is nice and shiny, but I like more of that vintage type of sound added to my mixes. The API is great too, but the gain steps jump to 2 db like the real API so they are not as flexible. I also like the V Series compressor better than the SSL.
