This isn't important in terms of sound for someone who really understands the effects but is very useful as a learning tool. Logic, as far as i know, doesnt have any compressor/limiter plugins that allow you to inspect the waveform and see in real time what parts of your signal are being compressed/limited.

With regards to mastering, here are my thoughts: Tweaking by ear is very much an SSL way of working. I feel that you have to be more deliberate and know what you're doing if you're trying to emulate that with separate plugins within Logic, flicking between them, and sometimes it's easy to get drawn in to what the visuals are telling you vs listening to the sound. The vintage EQ's add character, whereas the standard Channel EQ are more transparent, also the Vintage EQ's are far less precise in regards to control, as per SSL strips.īut in all honesty, the SSL bundles that you get from the well known manufacturers are really good, they make everything sound good because you can tweak so many elements quickly, and each element works in tandem with each other. Or Vintage Tube EQ (Based on Pultec EQP-1A) Vintage Console EQ (Based on Neve 1073) or Logic compressor set to Vintage VCA model (Based on the SSL 4000 (G) compressor) You maybe want to base it around using the following:. The concept will be similar, but that's all. You can build your own audio fx chain to get close, but it won't be the same if you're following step by step tutorials.
