OK...We all know many great recordings have been made on these great boards and I'm not doubting that, and we all who have not had the privilege to have worked with one. this question is for those who have worked on an ssl console, the ssl outboard 500 series strereo compressor, eq and channel compressor tout that we can get as close to those great recordings using these units with our existing gear. My question is...if I insert these units into my signal chain am I essentially getting true ssl console sound. I have a Mackie 32x8 and if I bypass the internal preamps (which I do on occasion) and insert their eq bypassing the Mackies eqs and then....compressing with an ssl channel compressor....and then on mixdown using the ssl strereo compressor, am I getting the SSL sound? I hope I explained that well. but I'm thinking the Mackies circuitry has to come into play somewhere in there...am I wrong?
