The SSL Circus comes to town ...

PaulBrewer · 08-04-2009 10:54am #1

Ringmaster Richard 'The Juggler' Palmer will be over in X-Music at the Red Cow on Sunday the 3rd of May with his attractive assistant, me.

He'll have all the new SSL Shizit inc -

http://www.solid-state-logic.com/music/Xlogic%20X-Desk/index.asp

http://www.solid-state-logic.com/music/Xlogic%20MX4/index.asp

Version 3 Duende software including the deadly X-Verb (based on a well known 'Classic' Reverb, allegedly)

and Pro Convert for Mac on display.

I know SSL is of limited relevance to some guys but Richard is also an experienced recording engineer (having recorded some music for the Bond Film, Golden Eye amongst others) plus he's good craic, so come out for the yak if nothing else.

V3 looks interesting as it can share some of it's work load with the host computer when needed, thereby avoiding some of the FireWire bottlenecks.

Also the x- verb I think is going to be a monster.

Perhaps the circus master himself might like to clarify?

Neurojazz · 08-04-2009 1:53pm

Oh, load sharing - sounds perfect as a second FW device on this computer would have to be chained, and i'm not sure it would be happy... already have powercore and sounds cards on separate FW cards to keep machine happy. (that's a total of 3 separate ports) meh.

Support at Digital Village told me to ditch the Duende and get a better powercore... needless to say i slapped them with a kipper.

RichardP@SSL · 08-04-2009 2:00pm

Hi guys

Hear it from the mouth of the Dark Lord of Digital himself

http://www.soundonsound.com/news?NewsID=11424

Looking forward to being at X again with some new tools.

Neurojazz · 08-04-2009 2:46pm

holy c**p! - i'm so happy, i probably will get that upgrade just to have more buss comps

RichardP@SSL · 08-04-2009 3:01pm

Neuro......which Duende do you have at present.....is it a Classic?

Neurojazz · 08-04-2009 3:07pm

Yes a classic

RichardP@SSL · 08-04-2009 3:16pm

In which case, when you upgrade using the free V3 software you will have access to 64 processing slots........just think of all those Bus Compressors! (Duende V3 requires Intel Core 2 (or equivalent power processor for PC owners) or Intel Mac based (for Mac owners) additionally for a limited time you could upgrade it to 128 processing slots for £129+VAT

More info at http://www.solidstatelogic.com/news/article.asp?ID=146&T=M

The V3 software also includes a demo of our latest reverb plug X-Verb

Available May 2009

PMI · 08-04-2009 3:23pm

Paul are you trying it out at the moment on the sly by any chance?

Neurojazz · 08-04-2009 3:26pm

I have a quad core this end (intel) - hope that's fine

- really looking forward to that upgrade, May can't come soon enough!

RichardP@SSL · 08-04-2009 3:27pm

He wishes.......why would I let a muppet like that loose with some complicated equipment .....only joking.....or am I?

Neurojazz · 08-04-2009 3:38pm

Well, i should be beta testing it really - i'm ginger and cause all sorts of BSOD and problems for your engineers to facepalm over

Richard 'Ricky' Palmer of SSL will fly in from a great height to land upon X-Music next Sunday the 3rd of May.

As any of you who have attended his last 2 visits at X will know he's a laid back experienced man with a great history as a recording engineer working at the top level.

He was also a Lecturer in Audio Technologies.

This combination of real word recording experience with the communication skills of a Academic makes him an ideal representative for a brand such as SSL.

As I've mentioned before, perhaps part of what SSL do is out of reach for some - however, as I've also said, the principles are exactly the same if you're in Abbey Road or a bedroom in Abbeyshrule :rolleyes:

If you're around this weekend at a loose end please pop out for what will be a very interesting showcase of -

and Pro Convert for Mac on display.

We'll be knocking about from mid morning ....

No it was in his samsonite suitcase wrapped in bubble wrap, probably more protected than a regular shipped carton.
