One of the best plugins out there is the Waves SSL Plugins. It recreates the Solid State Logic equipment to the T with a great sounding mixing board, compressor, and equalizer. Lots of well known bands have been recorded with this plugin including Muse.
The SSL E-Channel is probably the most useful out of the group since it handles the EQ, compression, and high/low pass filters in one unit. The other plugins in the bundle are great for single channels. SSL-G Master Buss Compressor would help maximize the levels on a kick drum, bass guitar, or snare drum. SSL G-Equalizer is good for fine tweaking vocals or guitars. It looks like they recently added a fourth plugin to the bundle called the SSL G-Channel, which is the mix of both the SSL G-Equalizer and SSL G-Compressor.
These plugins would be great if you like the analog sound to your recordings in a ProTools environment.
Right now, there is a sale on the Waves SSL plugin for 40% off until October 31, 2010! This brings the bundle price down to $465.00, which is the lowest ever.
This week we finished tracking drums for 4 new songs. We have continued on with the recording that started back in late 2008. I’ve been working on adding the bass tracks, guitar tracks, and vocals for the songs. The plan is to have the majority of the recording done by early February. Gen will be working on the artwork for the album. We will have a total of 10 songs on the second CD. Stay tuned for more news on our second CD.
We’ve got an update! (finally) We have a new cover song — “You’re a Mean One Mr. Grinch”. So far, it has gotten good reviews as a punk/rocked out version of the song.
A live version of the cover will be posted on our YouTube account this weekend. Just in time for Christmas…
