You only need one cable to plug yourSSL 2 or SSL 2+into your computer- USB-C. This will carry audio AND provide enough power for the interface (yes - even the full 48V needed for phantom power.) Both come with a USB-A to USB-C and USB-C to USB-C cable. As USB-C is becoming more widely used, you’ll probably find if you’ve forgotten yours, someone will have a spare! No more unique connectors or searching for a spare plug. With a laptop, you could record pretty much anywhere you desire. Ableton Live Lite - The lightweight version of Ableton's acclaimed music creation software for musicians, producers and DJ's alike. High-Frequency EQ boost - When you switch in 4K, you’ll notice everything sounds that little bit brighter. That’s because it’s adding a high frequency boost to your sound. This is designed to emulate the sound of the 4000 series EQ, which was known for having a very musical top end when boosted. When engaged, it lifts your recording and gives it clarity without making it sound overly harsh or biting.ii) the Software links to LGPL Libraries and reverse engineering of the Software is essential for debugging any modifications You have made to the LGPL Libraries.

But on the other hand, what isn't built in China these days?

When you’re plugged in and ready to record, the first thing your sound will hit is the SSL-Designed Preamps. Clean, pristine and precise are words you’ll hear a lot when people talk about that ‘SSL Sound’, and that’s exactly how we would describe the input stage of these interfaces. They deliver class leading sonic performance that you’d expect from far more expensive interfaces and preamps on the market. The quoted "huge" 62dB gain range of the preamps applies whether they are in mic, line or high-impedance mode, but with the input padded down by 18.5dB in line mode or 9.5dB in instrument mode. In mic mode, the maximum input level that can be accommodated is +5.5dBu. This gives the 2 and 2+ a lot of clean gain for quiet signals, but means you probably won't be able to record close-miked drums or loud bass amps without buying some inline pads. Given that a two-input interface is of limited use for drum recording anyway, this seems a sensible compromise on SSL's part — I imagine most buyers will be more concerned about getting a decent level from spoken word or acoustic instruments — but it's worth bearing in mind. Many of the giants who bestrode the world of recording during the heyday of the large-format console are long gone. The manufacturers that have survived are those who have adapted successfully, moving into the new markets created by the explosion in digital recording and home-studio gear. Now part of the Audiotonix group, Solid State Logic still make awe-inspiring analogue and digital mixing consoles, with prices to match — but they also cater very effectively to the project-studio market. Over the years, they've introduced a number of innovative products with compact footprints and focused feature sets that retain the high quality levels we all associate with the brand.

Goes without saying that I love this box but I also have to show mad love for Thomann who were extremely helpful when the courier delivering this went AWOL. Customer service is virtually a thing of the past these days but Thomann are a shining example of how it can and should be done. the updater application then power on the console once more to re-attempt. Update Instructions - Windows Some notes from my point of view after full-time using it for about 5-6 weeks. Other interfaces I use or have used are Roland Quad-Capture, Focusrite Scarlett, Focurite Clarett and some RME stuff. The actual control layout of the interface is logical and simple to use, the knobs and buttons feel very solid and sturdy. It would probably be optimistic to expect a single button to capture the character of an SSL 4000-series console, but the Legacy 4K option certainly introduces a noticeable change in the tonality of the input signal. Tests suggested that it adds a high-frequency shelf with a very low Q, beginning at around 1.5kHz and reaching +3dB around 15kHz. The audible results are more noticeable than that sounds, which is presumably because there is also some saturation involved. Like the very similar Air switch found on many Focusrite interfaces, it's an appealing effect, but one that could easily cause problems at the mix if over-used or applied to the wrong source. In both cases, it would be nice if it could be added by degrees rather than as an 'all or nothing' option. Right First TimeConverting analogue audio to a digital format is pretty much essential these days. Virtually all editing, recording, mixing and distribution of audio is done on digital systems. This is why we have audio interfaces - to pipe an analogue signal straight into a digital system. Not all converters are the same. As with preamps, some converters perform better than others. So when we say SSL 2 and SSL 2+ use the same AKM AD/DA Converters found in the SSL Alpha Link I/O products, you can guarantee that you’re getting the same performance as SSL’s top-line converters (at a fraction of the price!) At maximum settings, you can record at an impressive 24bit / 192kHz - that’s some crazy high resolution sound! Realistically, not everyone’s going to need to use these specs, as typically people use somewhere between 44.1-96kHz, but at least you know SSL have you covered. To interface an unbalanced piece of third party equipment to any SSL balanced input use the following wiring scheme:
