For those of you that act fast (i.e. Within the next 4 hours) you can get the amazing Waves SSL E-Channel strip for just $29
For those interesting in recording / production this is "no brainer" territory
This is an incredibly realistic sounding analogue channel strip with EQ, Compressor and noise gate- but most of all it gives the classic SSL analogue colour
The plugin is quite long in the tooth - but this means it has stood the test of time and is also very cpu friendly
This is the "jewel" of the SSL bundle and is the first time it has been available separately at such a ridiculously low price!!!
