Hi all, Hope somebody can help me. Actually I try the the IR loader from (I think) ronaldpassion. Because I love 😍 that sound of older analoque consoles, I try out to "remake" a ssl g console eq with implent ir technique. the cpu useage is minor for the moment,'cause I use it for my own.. I've done this allready with manley's "massive passive" and it really sounds about 90% from the original hardware!And now thats the problem: I found massive passive clean IR from somewhere on the web. But: does anyone got a clean IR from the ssl 4000 channel strip? I've searched for days allover the web, but couldn't find anyone expect q-clone. Don't get me wrong: I only want the CLEAN input sound of channel strip. all other values I do inside code.

Hi.

If it matters so much to you, why not just rent one, put it on the bench and, create your own impulse response?

That may be the best solution for if any are running about on the Internet it will probably offer 44.1 kHz sample rate which will never give you what you want.

Cheers!

Don't have any impulses ...

but here's a view of the 4000

The last one we had took, some, 6 guys to help carry it in ...

Hmmm, yes - rather tricky to "borrow" for an afternoon - I imagine even an hour of studio time would be rather expensive for a place with that kind of kit! I wonder if something like one of SSL's X-rack modules might be a bit more practical/available. Admittedly, I have never used anything so luxurious myself, but the reviews I have read give the impression that the sound is extremely close to that of their consoles.

as you can see, this console isn't in "everyone's" studio. that's why I can't rent this one in my location... I'm involved in a studio in austria, but nobody knows who have this ssl 4000 here.

Hi.

I would suggest registering to Gearslutz and, make an inquiry about this console. Once you find someone with this mixer, ask him or her if they are willing to create an impulse response for you in which, you will compensate them for their services.

I hope you have actually heard what this console sounds like and, not going by what others say.
