Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor Plugin

As stated by producer Declan Gaffney, the Waves SSL Master Bus Compressor was used for "Get On Your Boots". > Declan Gaffney incorporated extensive master processing into his mix. Dynamic control was provided by the Waves SSL Master Bus Compressor and Massey L2007 limiter, while Waves' VEQ4 added tonal changes.

When Kaskade does his own mastering, he mentions using the Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor Plugin.

To the question: ''What's your favorite non-analog compressor?'' Eric answered: ''I have one that i always use...but it's my secret But i do like...waves SSL comp''

@ around 18:00 Flux Pavilion talks about using the SSL Compressor.

“Waves plugins are a constant on our tracks: L3 is the final limiter on many Tritonal singles; H-Delay is our go-to tape delay plugin; SSL G-Master is the first on our master chain on most records.“

On the EQ side of things, we will lean heavily on both the Waves SSL E-Channel and G-Channel to help give our kicks and snares the correct tone.

In his reddit AMA, Doctor P say he uses the following "instruments: massive kontakt battery nexus diva korg legacy collection minimoog processing: fabfilter pro q camel phat waves C1 waves SSL comp SPL tube tech izotope ozone wow i never realised how small the list of my plug ins would be"

"Next one is some, uh, musical compression... it's a single-band compressor, it's the SSL compressor from Waves. One of my favorite tools, sounds absolutely great and it's perfect for this kind of music." (18:51)

Yes definitely. Waves has this SSL compressor plug-in, which is supposed to emulate the one I have in hardware. It doesn’t have that warmth, which is why I’m using the outboard hardware, but when I’m working on my laptop I’ll put it on the places where I know that I’ll use the actual compressor later. And the same a little bit with the Neve preamps; I use Waves Scheps 73, which is basically just a preamp and you can drive it a little bit.

in the middle channel you can see that one of the plugins is called SSLComp

Mentioned by producer Sandy Vee in this *Sound on Sound* interview about the production of "Firework". An image of the settings can be found [here](https://dt7v1i9vyp3mf.cloudfront.net/styles/news_large/s3/imagelibrary/I/IT_Apr_05B-aj5JbN6oCcZ8cN4_e8EhvXBB.z7vxOXg.jpg).

Listed among the plugins used for this March 19, 2015 Splice project made for the 2015 SXSW Showcase.

Henry Fong shows us his plugins in one of his [Splice](https://splice.com/henryfong/henry-fong-j-trick-scream-original-mix) tracks, including a Waves SSL G-Master Buss Compressor Plugin.

Eddie has an instance of the G-Master Buss Compressor open in this Facebook photo.

> I have the NLS [plug-in] on a Spike Stent SSL setting, the Waves SSL G master bus compressor, and the Waves H-EQ. It is my favourite EQ, but it's a bit of a processor hog, so I tend not to use it on individual tracks too much.

Great compressor from Waves, which can be used on many different channels in many different ways.

On 0:23 of the video, you can see an SSL Compressor Stereo in the effects chain (lower left of video).

Used on Minogue's vocals for "Dancing", as stated by producer Sky Adams in this July 2018 *Sound on Sound* interview. > "My vocal chain on the Kylie bus begins with a Logic Channel EQ, with a high?pass at 69Hz; I also boost 285Hz and 3100Hz. Next is the Waves CLA Vocals, with which I again boost some high end and add some compression, and a tiny bit of reverb; altogether it enhances the vocals a bit. The third plug?in is the Waves Butch Vig Vocals, with the de?esser and compressor both at 50 percent and adding some presence and air, all to give it some sharpness. For some reason Butch Vig gives a nice saturation and clarity on vocals, but I find that it only works on the Aston microphone. With every other mic I’ve used it tends to sound too distorted. > “The next plug?in is a Waves dbx 160 for some more compression, then the Waves SSL G?master bus compressor, set to a ratio of 2, attack 1 and release 3, and the Waves C4 multiband set to the Pensado preset, adding above 8kHz, the Waves API 560 EQ adding yet more high end, and the Waves RVox, with the compressor set to 4.2. I find that the RVox really helps to bring the vocal to the front. > “My main reverb in this session, which I used mostly on the vocals, and my favourite reverb in general, is the Toraverb. It’s really hard to find a good reverb, but I freaking love it, and I use it on almost everything. It has a wonderful tail off, and also a delay that works really well. ‘Crystal Cave’ is a favourite preset, which I use mainly on vocals. I don’t mind using the same reverb on everything, but in addition I sometimes use Logic’s Space Designer, which also has a great sound, and a wonderful tail that you can crank all the way up. The latest update, the Chronoverb, is amazing.”

Another great plugin for advanced compressing.

In his screen is possible to see this plug in.
