Still wondering if it REALLY makes sense to use SSL for electronic music and especially for dirty sub genres?
For sure it’s a quality board, just a joy to work with and should be solid and reliable, but what it can bring “sound wise” to our machines?
I never used SSL, only touched older bigger consoles a few times in commercial studios during mixdown sessions of friendly projects. But what I’ve learned - top quality EQ and PRES sounds very subtle and “clean” and despite it’s really nice for live music and acoustic instruments, it doesn’t make so much fun with electronics. I still prefer Mackie’s dirtiness to more “clean” Allen Heath at home and somehow afraid that SSL will be too “clean” and “characterless”.
What do you guys, think? Who has better experience with SIX and older consoles, is it really worth it for electronics?
Still getting one at some point just because it’s absolutely incredibly well designed : )
