I still feel that $319 is a GREAT price as the Waves SSL bundle is really nice and works on all types of recordings. Christopher

Re: SSL 4000 on sale, to buy or not to buy?
Thanks Chris.
i have Waves mercury and am really wondering if I should replace them with UAD. Dunno why but Waves always seemed to drop the ball at the 10 yard line and my old favourite compressor was the UA 1176 pre the UAD days that is now defunct. I guess I answered my own question

!. SSL Duende (Native or discontinued DSP box) 2. Waves SSL 3. IKM 4. UAD 5. Native Instruments Unfortunately, the one I like the most - Duende will never be ported to AAX64 (I have all plugs SSL released for Duende, their Reverb is amazing, btw). I prefer to use SSL by Waves and IKM more than UAD (I like to keep UAD's power for other plugs).

As almost all of IKM's stuff, it sounds ok, warm, intuitive, modern but stability and CPU hog is something that keeps me away on bigger sessions.

Re: SSL 4000 on sale, to buy or not to buy?
I have this bundle, I originally bought it to be compatible with a project I was working on. I use it a lot more than I originally thought I would. The sale price is about as low as this plug-in normally sells for used, so it's definitely a good deal. These don't show up used very often, and the used price fluctuates a lot, so this is a good chance to get this if you've been looking for it.

Re: SSL 4000 on sale, to buy or not to buy?
Thanks everybody for their input.
I got them at audiodeluxe.com for 319 usd. If anyone is still interested it is even less at plugindiscounts.com of which I was previously not aware of. Anyway, I am glad I finally got them. Thanks again Piotr |

Re: SSL 4000 on sale, to buy or not to buy?
Yes we always try to use Audiodeluxe as I know what I get and they have great support but as i looked around now the bundle is even more discounted at plugindiscount.com 299 USD is AMAZING price for this bundle
Thanks for sharing that as non audiodeluxe members might go that way instead. Anyway 299 or 319 both prices are great and I never seen these plugins for less than 499 USD so WOW is all I can say! We paid almost double that and still happy with this bundle, Just to echo what someone said about NI plugins (non VI) and IKM, we have those too and in commercial pop with actual radio hits we would never use those two developers and if anything UA and Slate for example are the ones that gets the job done Remember that if your recordings are sub par you won't get them where they need to be with any plugin on the planet so what goes in .. ya know Best Christopher

Re: SSL 4000 on sale, to buy or not to buy?
The API bundle is on sale too ($250 thru Waves, or $186 at AudioDeluxe). Much better deal, IMO. I can live without the SSL stuff (and I do! Most of my tracking is through an SSL anyway, no need to double down on that) but the API EQ's are indispensable.
