Why My SSL 4000 Faders Wouldn’t Work (Until Now)

Описание: My SSL 4000 master faders have been dead for months, and nothing I tried would bring them back.
So I headed to Nashville to meet someone who rebuilt his own SSL from the ground up.
If you own, restore, or dream about a vintage SSL console, you'll want to see what he showed me.

In this video I sit down with Anthony Falcone(‪@afalcone4‬) mix engineer, producer and SSL 4000 restorer, to dig into why my faders refused to come back to life, even after I thought I'd done everything right.

What we cover:
• How the upper bus card and fader bus card talk to each other
• The connectors that matter (and the ones that don't)
• Why the faders depend on the computer section, even without Total Recall
• What the multiplexer card is secretly doing behind the scenes
• Whether you should keep the 50 pin connection as a backup

Anthony went through the exact same headache with his own console, so he knows every dead end along the way. Stick around to the end to see how it all comes together.

You'll be seeing a lot more of Anthony on the channel soon, so go subscribe to his channel too.

Have you fought with an SSL, Neve or API console restoration? Tell me about it in the comments.
