The SSL 4000 Collection Black Friday deal from Waves takes 80% off this five-plugin bundle, bringing it to $94.99 until Nov 26, 2026.
The collection puts the sound of the SSL 4000 console inside your DAW. Waves developed it under license from Solid State Logic, and the maker says it captures the console's dynamics and EQ with high fidelity.
The maker points to records by David Bowie, Dr. Dre, Bruce Springsteen, Foo Fighters and Kendrick Lamar as the console's legacy.
Five plugins make up the bundle:
The channel strips come from the E-series and G-series consoles. You also get mic preamps, plus the SSL bus compressor.
Pick a channel strip by the sound you want: the maker describes the E-series as classic and the G-series as modern.
Both strips carry the SSL VCA compressor and gate, so dynamics control sits right on the channel.
The SSL G-Master Buss Compressor sits on your mix bus or on a group bus. The maker says it glues a mix together.
The SSL EV2 Channel is newly modeled and gives you EQ in two flavours, "black" knob and "brown" knob. Switch between them depending on which EQ character suits the source.
The collection ships with hundreds of presets from Grammy-winning engineers, so you can load a starting point and dial in from there.
For Mac, it supports macOS Monterey 12, Ventura 13, Sonoma 14 and Sequoia 15, in VST, AU and AAX formats.
For PC, you need Windows 10 or later, in VST and AAX formats.
If your DAW only reads AU, that means a Mac. AU is not offered on Windows.
