mibby Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 That seems like such an inconsistent "marketing strategy" to me. I mean, they have an insane $20 deal on their Drumstrip right now into January. Do they really expect to sell any of these new ridiculously priced EQs? (No offense is someone has bought it.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cclarry Posted December 18, 2021 Author Share Posted December 18, 2021 The Drumstrip is an older plugin, and this is new.... While the issue becomes "perception", this is how they normally do things... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's good for me as a hobbyist (and therefor limited spending on plugins) is that now I get to play with these SSL plugins which had been totally off my radar because of their price. 😎 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fusion line , i have mixed feeling , they're doing the opposit lol splitting a superb combo .... money is the target , not convenience at least we could have a full plugin and then elements .... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of us have a glut of stuff we don't need or use. At least add to the clutter economically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burtles101 Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 (edited) While I hate that SSL decided to split the Fusion into these separate modules, which definitely seems like a money grab in my opinion, I found myself still trying out the demos anyway. 🙃 After setting up all four modules on a older mix from last year, I found the results that they gave me to be quite pleasing to my ears. Originally, I had been using Celestial by Acustica on the mix, to which I loved the way that it sounded, BUT!, it's Acustica, so you know this thing obliterates my CPU. 😱 I swapped it out for the SSL combo, and the results sounded just as good, if not a little better, to my ears anyway. This has caused me to seriously consider getting the SSL sub. I know that there might be other things out there that are considered better, but, I really like these plugins that SSL makes.

Zo Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 I say be patient , i m also covered but i m always open to get some native stuff fir use in machine , and must is cpu light and zero latency where ssl rocks (as well as mc dsp , overloud , and pa ) 149 for each is just wayyy too much for drive you could get stuff way more powerfull like vertigo vsm4 or saturn 2 ect ...or 3 saturation from PA eq : softube curve bender , pro q , ssl x eq witch was 39 ... ect imager : dr ms hi freq comp : any good desser , probably pro ds would suffice ect ... each ones have better and cheaper alternative , i can deal with better if cheaper ...but theyre too expensive ...

I like channel strips, so that’s the one I’ll get if GAS becomes irresistible 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
