Awesome glad to see you here. The mixes you did for Gina I really liked.
Favorite SSL console? Tell us your thoughts on the different models. Also you mixed on Gina's SE a bit. How did you use the extra cue send bus? Are you a motors on or off mixer? Thanks again Kevin

Thanks for having me.

I have no real problem with SSL's . I have used them to great effect over the years ( see the thread on "So", considered by many to be a great sounding album and that was recorded and mixed on a E series !) But my favs are the E and the J series.
In terms of differences, to me the G just sounding a little harsh, the E was more musical than the G, the J has more openess in the top but it has a limit to how hard you can push the output, it closes down very fast above +2.

Extra cue send bus gets used on a need too basis, but no real default position for me on that.

When it comes to automation I have the motors on, I think it sounds better !

Rockin on
