I recently snagged an SSL duende PCIe card. I've never used an SSL console.
I hear a lot of talk on various forums and publications about the "magic
buss compressor". I couldn't tell you whether the Duende version of the buss
compressor sounds anything at all like one of their hardware comps but I've
been playing around with this on some sub busses and on the main mix buss
(something I'm always really careful about) on a rock mix project I'm getting
ready to dig into this weekend. As I play around with the settings, when
inserted after a Portico 5042 (the tape emulator box) I start getting something
that I'm liking quite a bit, at least right now. I'm going to walk away from
it for the evening and approach it with some fresh ears in the morning, but
I think I really may end up liking this piece of kit. There's a nice quality
and sense of headroom to the processing. I may get me a little closer to
wher eI would like to be. It can be very transparent and big. Those here
who are using native rigs might want to give it a spin. Different vibe from
the UAD, but in a good way.
