Last week we reported that SSL have announced the UC1, a hardware channel strip controller which offers the authentic centre section feeling of an SSL control to plugin users. As well as controlling the channel strip parameters, it also features a classic SSL bus compressor plugin controller, including a real, moving coil meter.
However, in all the excitement it seems that most people missed a small detail in the launch info. It may have been just coincidence but we think someone at SSL was having fun with us all when they created the product images. If you have an eagle-eye and know a little about music production in-jokes then perhaps you spotted it.
Check out the name and level of the track showing in the controller. Can you spot it?
If you can then pass it on to your friends and see if they can spot it too, but don’t spoil the fun by giving the game away. Intentional joke or just a photographer who came up with anything to put there?
