Master Retrograde Plugin in 10 Minutes!!! ( Simon Servida plugin review )
Comgrats for this video. This product make me confused. At point to sell all my outbord gear, and my Apollo X6 as well. I don’t have idea what difference there is with X6 UAD converters. You compared to an old model. Any way, I gonna buy this because I can semplify my routing and my desk 😅. My home studio is always lacking of room. Usb C right into my M3 Mac no more cable, make me dream a lot. One more thing… congratulation for your way to speak. I’m italian and my english understanding with you was just about 100% and is great. Many thanks buddy🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Not sure if you covered this already but can you do a tutorial on the section just below the g bus compressor? ST cue masters 1 & 2 (8 buttons 2 knobs). TYIA
Really loving your content your so cool ❤ you Brother
Where can i go to here that beat!!
touchtonedsg.com
That’s my website on there appreciate you
Very True..
Better get Infiltrator instead if Shaperbox. And the rest is nothing anybody must have. 😉
Where did you get the pad with the LED lights that its sitting on?
I think where the big six shines is when you dont look at it as an interface. The conversion on there could definitely be better but nothing beats the speed of the analog workflow. In my opinion get a good interface with good conversion like rme etc and use the big six like a console. Thats where its at
Great point
Hey friend! Thanks so much for all of these videos on Big Six. Quick Q: I noticed on this mix there are no sends/returns for effects/reverb/delay. I hear reverb on some of your instruments. Do you print your effects/reverbs/delays and then bring them into Big Six for mixing/analog summing? Currently struggling with that part because I run out of channels if I bring in my sends/returns. Thanks for any insight!
The new brass at SSL are trying to get big sales from the little man or woman in the consumer bedroom studio and prosumer markets buyers beware
I couldn’t agree more
I had forgot some of the features of the Big6 sense it first came out..like it being an interface and sort of an all in one solution SSL branded BOX. I was thinking to was more along the lines of the Xdesk were you can have an analog summing and mixing and tracking but with the freedom to choose your own interface & external effects.. yep it’s a high priced mid level mixer interface with a few SSL bells and whistles. I run all my gear thru my Xdesk and my interface is Avid 16*16 I/O using the Pro Tools HDX system and my controllers are the Avid Dock and S3..I have SSL xrack Eq’s, dynamics, g buss com, and a few other outboard pres and compressors, that I can insert on the xdesk. The xdesk has no pre amps, dynamics or Eq built in. It was designed for that hybrid work flow and the software is Avid and other third parties
Wow only 4 inserts on the big six..I have a SSLxdesk which has 8 inserts and that unit came out 15 or more years ago…I’ll have to live with my xdesk cause I am too old to be upgrading. My future hardware will be a few preamps and compressors. I thought about the SSL matrix but I would have to get that at a severely discounted price like 50-60% off the retail and I think ssl has discontinued that unit anyhow.
You are the low hanging fruit bro..a consumer/prosumer bug to them, now let an Alysha Keys have some manufacturing issues with her SSL Duality board and see how the SSL people respond,!🧐
Damn bro, could’ve said that better myself
This think is fire for sure!
Thanks for the info! Quick question, can I make a iPad only setup with this? Or I do need a Mac?
Been down that road . It’s called GAS 😂
$2700 vs $25000 worth of gear? This is literally a commercial with your affiliate links for that overprice gear you trying to sell.
Nailed it
I agree with all your points. You know your stuff.
Thank you
Thanks for this video Bro Man this is the set up ive been aiming for Great video Good Dude KEEP IT UP =)
💯💯
Thanks for posting the update, now I'm leaning more toward getting something else
Hey man, it’s all good as long as I can help. I know it’s not a popular opinion because so many people like it, but I just wanted to be honest.
@@TouchToneDSG I'm really digging your videos, love your approach and honesty, and enthusiasm! And you are funny as hell! I have a home studio as well, mostly based around a UAD Apollo and MOTU 828 interfaces. Still mixing in the box, but I have all the UAD and Waves stuff you could want. I also have a Tascam DP24sd that is great for small projects and a Tascam Portacapture X8 for field recording when I do video. Keep those videos coming!!! And tell your wife you need to buy some new gear to review!!!Hhaha!!
@@RockTelevision-vv1im 😭😭😭 I sure will man thank you for your support
@@RockTelevision-vv1im very nice set up by the way you can do some serious damage with that
@@TouchToneDSG Thanks, it gets me by.
I have the same. Unreal! Best monitors I have ever heard. Had Focal, Adam, Event, Krk - all great and a different price point. Also had a recommendation from my Sweetwater rep. Was spot on.
Totally agree, man these are incredible
Love your video! I hope to have the chance to listen to Ex Machina monitors, PMC, ATC, Focals and Adam Main Monitors are in my wish list for my next room, but i had hear many great things about those Pulsars. You didn't talk about the volume and power, can you share some on that area?
Hey great question man I’ll tell you this the power and the volume are absolutely incredible when you turn them on you know that you are dealing with pro equipment I don’t even go up a quarter of my volume because there’s no need to King Kong type stuff
@@TouchToneDSG So cool, looking forward for more of your great videos! 🔥🔥👌
Where can I hear this beat
I’m actually gonna be putting this out on streaming platforms here in a couple days I keep getting asked about this track so I’m just gonna release it. I’ll let you know. I’ll come back to this comment.
Interesting. I don't have a big 6 but i do use the little . I use it mostly to bring in digital drum machines to take the edge off as well as its bus compressorthat i love. It wheels very well for this. Understanding the ssl pre amp design intention are important. They are designed to be clean and not as tone to signals. Be aware that Lynx pre amps are this on steroids as they are also ultra pristine. I have 4 of them on my Lynx (n). They are best for when you truly want to know exactly what your hardware sounds like to the extreme without adding anything aside from completely transparent gain. If you want colour in pre amps then Neve 1073, BAE clones of neves, universal audio 6176 and other pres that are usually attempting to to emulate old neves really give you colouration pushing signal through transformers or tubes in the Universal audio 6176, la610 or solo 610. All fantastic while using them for several years. The funny thing about what you are saying about the conversion is why i liked the ssl6. I find the most important part of my chain to be the conversion and I think SSL opted for a basic good affordable conversion rather than putting higher end converters in it. I would not have bought the sslsix if it had a built in interface but i think the big 6 it solved problems for outsole who want that. You did well to make your changes.
Hey man, I appreciate you thank you
@TouchToneDSG keep doing your thing brother. I will support all of it!!
@@anthonyrock5039 thank you
They just added Fabfilter to the line up of plug-ins compatible with the console 1. Grabbed one as soon as I heard that.
Yeah man that's pretty dope
Example why you shouldn't put 'game changer' on your videos is the follow up video that's posted when you get rid of the gear haha. Thanks for both videos though. Its helped me weigh some thoughts that I was having while deciding on whether or not I want to buy the big six. Cheers.
I can see where you're coming from. At the time it was but then I grew as an Engineer. Thanks for the feedback
@@TouchToneDSG I totally wasn't throwing shade btw. I love your content and this was very thorough/helpful. The term is just thrown around so much these days.
@@jeejeeBlaps Hey man that is all good I actually agree with you which is why I've stopped using it to be quite honest. I just want to be honest with people you know. And game changing holds a lot of weight so I definitely reserve that comment for things that I really think that are. In that moment in time looking back on it I think I did think it was game changing. But now that my knowledge and experience is growing tremendously I definitely reserve that. I appreciate you man thank you
Great Stuff! 😎
Thank you
instantly subscribed when i heard "i dont go crazy with the plugins , i go SUBTLE"
Hey man I really do appreciate that most people don't get that concept that's how I can tell you know how to mix
Drum Monkey. Unbelievable. You could crush my hands, and I'd still groove better... Sadly, TouchTone, you're spot-on: People crave shortcuts. Maybe it began with Acid Pro, championing 'anyone can make music.' I contributed-great content, great program. But it ushered in this 'ease' expectation. 24 years on, one-knob plugs, awful 'EZ' mixer plugs abound, and companies overpromise, overcharge and underdeliver.
great video - lots of useful information and experiences and love the jokes 🙂
Thank you
I was thinking the exact same things when the Big six came out and swayed me from buying it. The thing SSL is known for is mixing, routing and summing...for a small format 8 channel mixer without full dynamics and transformers coloring as the signal passes does not really tap in to the potential of a 4000 G/E series console. Working on a beast like that is a whole different thing like apples and oranges. I think the API Box II would be a much better option what many people think the Six can do, but the price is much higher. Tnx for your honest insight.
I replaced it with the lynx Aurora
"preamps have no color". SSL have NEVER been sought after for its preamp and most certainly not its "color". EQ and buss compressor is why you go with SSL.
Very true
Very very false, The SSL always had been praised for preamp drive, Its legendary for that. Just hear any Dr Dre interview about mixing on his console.
(on 4000 - 9000 line, large format analog console)
@@DarkTrapStudio are you talking about color?
@@TouchToneDSG Preamp drive or color yes, Dr Dre is famous for pushing the drive to have a color on his SSL console, he even showed this to MixbyAli, he explained that himself. I understand that this is not the case of the bigSix though.
This company should pay you for the endorsement.
I couldn't agree more man
This is kind of the problem in the modern age. Getting your sound into the DAW with Grade -A pre's and top quality A/D s essentially the best quality your audio is going to be. So routing back out and converting back in again is always going to degrade sound quality so it's really got to be worth doing it over a great A/D converter to a really great bit of hardware.
I agree I totally agree
Usually these videos are awful because dudes are just sharing some random stuff they bought and then saying that's the best. You're more insightful and your knowledge is deeper, your choices are based around trying to actually stay on the cutting edge to get a competitive advantage with mixing. Keep up the good work.
Hey man I really do appreciate that That goes over most people's heads but you clearly get it Thanks for the support
Was set on this for awhile but eventually decided no direct outs was not for me, got an RME ucxii, going to expand with Adat & get the a couple of the ssl uc series or maybe just a mix wizard. Going to cost more but be so much more flexible with room for growth. Cheers for confirming I dodged a bullet!
Glad to help man
@@TouchToneDSG well i remember when i was watching your review & you were in love with it! Guess you pushed it to its limits, definitely a sign of growth. 👍🏼 Would love the aurora but just too much for my budget 🤦🏼
What is the CPU usage of the plugins and what are your computer specs?
Very very minimal
I know this is 2 years ago but the biggest complaint with the Big Six is its not so good analog to digital converters . UA's converters smoke SSL big six converters. Not sure what you're referring too. I think u might have been caught up in the gear lust hype thinking it sounds better than UA when the stats prove the opposite. From someone who has both UA & the Big Six.
You should go back and watch that I was talking about the silver UAD which was the one that was pretty outdated I specifically made sure to say that
I'm thinking about buying the Big Six. Really wondering if that noise thing is still happening with new units.
I heard that they did fix it
@@TouchToneDSG Nice. You still digging yours?
Man I am so glad you did this video and I love your sarcastic humor. I think you could do Stand up comedy. Love it!! And yes the graphics of Drum Monkey and Midi Wizard look like something for a 3 year old. I also appreciated your Social Commentary about production and the sell-out culture of today. Your Social Commentary was the primary reason why I subscribed to your channel, and your sense of humor.
Hey man it's all good I appreciate the compliment I actually used to write comedy back in the day before I got into music appreciate you checking me out

It seems really nice, but you can only use Softube or UAD plug ins with it. With the SSL UC1, you can use Waves, and other third party plug ins which make it a little more flexible. But I do love the work flow of the Mark III beter.
Agreed for sure
Hi, I have two SSL Six and my question is, does it make sense upgrade to a big Six, obviously summing is easier!?
If that's what you needs call for
