Really cool update, but when working with podcasts it's really important to see Levels not only as RMS but as LUFS. when will you have that?

[valdemar_sound]

This is such a fantastic update. Adressed pretty much everything I wanted from my UF8 and UC1 and now I can retire a lot of my workflow workarounds - so happy about this. Great job devs! Kudos for keeping on developing this.

I had to stop the video half way through just to say thanks SSL! This is just what I need, and I just ordered a UF1 to go with my UF8 and UC1. This is why I buy your products, because you’re supporting them and making improvements constantly. Thanks again, so happy about the midi cc layer. Makes my life so much easier now. But if you can also get Logic in the mix that would be great, fingers crossed 🤞

Dear SSL please make the big knob(jog wheel) of UF1 midi assignable, I want to use it for drum sound selection on Live. If you do it please attach a speed dial(example if you increase the speed - you can select 20 sounds for 1 jog wheel total rotation to 100 sounds per rotation). Guys epic product and improvements thank you very much!

At last - a support for Reaper! Thanks SSL!

[BesyaOld]

That's awesome! I'm so happy to see a Reaper support and a lot of other amazing features in 1.6. This is the best update so far. Thank you very much!

Absolutely love the new SSL ecosystem! With all the superb Neve plugins available plus affordable hardware options I can now track with Neve and mix with SSL....a dream come true! Eyeing off SSL controllers, great times ahead!

[terrygray]

Thank you SSL for keeping my investment viable. The UF8/UF1/UC1 trio have changed how I mix and made me faster at it.

Absolutely awesome! It‘s extremly helpful that the UF8 now automatically scrolls to the selected channel when in the new DAW control mode. You keep making a great product better and better. Thank you!

[Harrysound]

I got the update last night and had fun poking around. Theres a couple of minor things I think do need changing. I'm really not a fan of holding the 360 button on the UF1 to switch between layers. I would like to just tap it and toggle between layers....always great to get these updates. they're like gold dust but worthwhile.

[WayneDawkinsThePartyMan]

I had to watch this twice just to make sure my head is on. This is great news.Things have change I remember using Cubase 1.0x when it had only one undo and even Cakewalk on floppy...486 machine hahaha. What great times we live in. Thanks SSL for making this happen and staying committed to excellence

[djeclyps]

I kept saying “yes finally” with almost every new feature… thanks SSL!

[Rhythmattica]

Harrison and SSL... I can see where this is going... Well done..

[SonnyGreenwichJr]

Hey Andy, Good to see you in action! Not just a name in the comments anymore. I can't wait to get home to give this new update a whirl! I'm assuming at least some the upgrades will work with Logic Pro?

[TheSupergan]

Thank you and keep all these updates coming they are really appreciated... finally a control system with a future!

[mcmSEA]

Great update! I *really* wish some of the things like track colors worked with Logic as well. Is Logic support for these capabilities expected in a later update?

[GoldhornXbox]

As many others have mentioned please do something about Logic Support. It doesn't even have track follow yet and is far behind the other DAWs now when it comes to 360 support.

[bdmax]

It's reasons like this that make SSL one of the go-to brands for me. This is mega!

[patwebb]

[Lychegsye-nctd]
