funny,

but i just installed the demo of sonalksis for myself to try and i just finished it comparing to the Waves ssl 4000 plugin.

For techno, there is a noticeable difference between how the two sound using the exact same settings.

One thing I really enjoy about the Sonalksis so far is its ability to crunch the drums to mush and still have enough gain to hear the whole mix.

One thing that i am beginning to notice about the ssl, is that after you turning the ratio and all other values to extreme settings to get that crunching feel, you lose almost all volume even with the gain at full blast.

Im really enjoying this sonalksis. I will definately recommend this one to my friend, and maybe even purchase this one down the road sometime.
