it looks like the gain reduction on the waves is a bit more than the reason ssl comp, which is interesting becuase of the added input gain you were mentioning, and it's still less after maxing out the input.
also I wasn't aware that you could share R11 videos while still in beta.

From the beta testing "rules":
And, yes, we're on to the non-logging version now and it's looking pretty good. I'm loving the VST Rack.Once we release a Release Candidate version, i.e. a non-logging version, you can freely share information and we'll be super excited to hear the music you make with Reason 11.
You can do this test your self. You won’t hear any difference with our without YouTube compression. We just got a 100 dollar compressor in the reason 11 updatefuture-bit wrote: ↑21 Sep 2019Sound on youtube in a compressed format always. Therefore, it makes no sense to conduct tests on a video clip. Results will be distorted.

Here is another comparison. You can here that some emulations are a little different, but not by much... The waves is included.

My experience has been that if you have one decent emulation of the SSL Master Bus compressor, you're probably set. Yes they can differ slightly, but the difference is not enough to warrant spending money on another one (for the budget conscious). Sure, a pair of scissors with ceramic blades cut differently than one with steel blades, but they're going to be cutting the same piece of paper in broad strokes.

I think Reason SSL master glue compressor is pretty good (once you side-chain it). I also use Ableton Glue Compressor and it's also very good (I prefer this one, but both are great anyway).
Well since they're both the same and/or similar, it's just another reason to not upgrade to R11 and keep using my Waves.
I had a custom built SSL bus clone at one point. I was even streaming music through it as it made everything going through it sound good. I sold it when I needed money. With time I could get the Reason bus comp to sound reasonably close and it's way more convenient to use than outboard. Most of the VST versions I've tried are pretty good as well. It's not like the LA2A where most of the plugin versions suck.
Yea, those rack SSL versions are really great. Now i can put the compressors in the fx chain where I want and not only at the end and "bus" around...Now i really like the channel compressor way more and get used to it. It can create really punchy or lush drums. I just whish it had some Attack control, but its ok - i guess this can be "replicated" with Threshold and gain staging...maybe...dunno exactly....miscend wrote: ↑03 Oct 2019I had a custom built SSL bus clone at one point.
