An SSL plugin controlller
Jimi4482 18.07.2021
UC1 is a plugin controller. It works perfectly with SSL Channel Strip 2 and Bus Compressor 2 plugins. All you have to do is insert the channel strip plugin in every channel on your DAW and then you can mix your track by using the controller. No need to use the mouse at all. If you want a visual feedback of what you do, you have the 360 software that runs in parallel with your DAW giving you a real console mixing feel. Combining UC1 with UF8 you get everything in your hands and your mixing workflow will get really fast. The only con is that it supports only two plugins by now. It would be nice to see more plugins in the future and why not API and Neve emulations.

SSL nailed it!
RinoS90 29.11.2022
I've just recieved the UC1 unit, and I am shocked how easy is it to control plugin in realtime 4K B has a really musical color, my mix suddenly went alive because I was listening and no so much looking at the screen.. Only downside, in transport mode stop and play button is not working, maybe i will figure it out, I use Reaper as my DAW, buss comp is amazing and VERY responsive so you can feel the track as it compresses , so far I have an amazing experience and I can only thank you guys from Thomann, you are truly the best! build quality is top notch, for this price, don't ask for more , the feel of the knobs is almost like a real console , I already use SSL2 interface and it goes great with it, the simplicity and the sound is pure SSL I love it, thank you guys!

edit:

when not using the UC1 for few minutes, s it goes into DIMM mode but it's still working when you touch anything, great feature really impressed by the unit and not dissapointed from SSL , channel strip 2 is very nice and it even has E (4000 series) emulation button that sounds more surgical for some sources if you like that sound, the setup was easy after the software 360 recognized the UC1 , just activate the licence download plugin and you're good to go..

if you are thinking about if you should spend this amount of money or save it and mix in the box, don't ..If you are serious about it buy, you won't regret it for a second.

1 more thing, it has small "legs" that you can screw below UC1 if it's to low for you, they have thought of everything just you to be comfortable,

everything works great, buy it , you will start to appriciate more your ear rather than screen, enjoy folks!

Not enough integration yet
Sbest58 03.07.2021
Works beautifully, but lacks integration with Logic mixer and UF8. Shortcomings are all things that could be addressed with software updates, which I hope happens soon.

🌟🎶 Review: SSL UC1 - A Game Changer in Our Studio! 🎶🌟
M&Z Music 29.08.2024
Wow, where do we even start? The SSL UC1 has completely transformed our studio experience! As a music duo who lives and breathes sound, having gear that truly enhances our workflow is a must. The UC1 is like having a slice of the legendary SSL console right on our desk, and it feels fantastic!

🎛️ Hands-On Control: We love that we can tweak EQ and compression with the same feel as an analog console. The tactile response is so satisfying—turning those knobs feels like magic!

💻 Seamless Integration: It integrates perfectly with our DAW. No more diving through endless plugins; now it's just twist and go! The visual feedback is spot-on, making it super easy to dial in our signature sound.

🎵 Enhanced Creativity: The UC1 has brought a new dimension to our mixing process. It's intuitive and inspiring, allowing us to focus on the music rather than fiddling with a mouse. Our mixes have never sounded so clear and punchy!

🕺💃 Studio Vibes: Let's not forget the sleek design! It looks absolutely stunning in our studio and gives off that professional vibe. It’s like our studio got an instant upgrade the moment we plugged it in.

🎉 Verdict: The SSL UC1 is hands down the best investment we've made for our studio this year. It’s a game-changer, and we can't recommend it enough to fellow musicians and producers out there. If you're looking to bring that legendary SSL sound into your workflow, look no further. This is it!

Thank you, SSL, for bringing this gem into our lives. Here's to many more magical musical moments! 🎶🎉
