1176 compressor plugin

Two reverbs, two compressors, a Moog emulation, and a mastering channel strip. These plugins vary in price from 20 GBP ($35 USD) to as low as 1.49 GBP ($2.31 USD). They also have four free plugins available for download with a donation box set up with Paypal. As you may have realized by now, this is a British company, so you have to probably have paypal to even think about buying their products. I doubt there is any other way, actually. Other than the SSi Compressor, my favorite plugin by far is the "PUNCH" compressor."PUNCH" From Minimal SystemIf you don't feel like spending the money to get an 1176...or even the Waves 1176...or the UAD 1176 plug...why don't you open up your wallet to this plugin. It costs a whopping 5GBP, or about $8.00. Yeah, that's right. An $8.00 plugin. This thing sounds FANTASTIC. It works great, looks great, works just like the 1176. I compared a track I recorded with a real hardware 1176 next to this, and they sounded VERY similar. The main difference was that the old 1176 was a bit warmer (less highs), but understandable seeing as they were designed way back when and the circuitry was not meant for digital audio's high bandwidth. Punch can sound like an 1176, making drums punchy and fat, with lots of attack. You can crush the living daylights out of a room mic, or smooth out a dynamic vocal performance. It's actually unbelievable how good this plugin sounds for

Duties you can download for free:Hot tip:Vocal compression is often done in stages in a process called serial compression. This means using one compressor after another to act on different parts of the signal or introduce different qualities. The compressors listed here can work on their own or together in series.Analog Obsession FETishYou can never go wrong with the classic sound of an 1176 FET compressor. One of the most popular dynamics processors of all time, the 1176 is fast, punchy and perfect for controlling the aggressive transients in an active vocal performance.You can never go wrong with the classic sound of an 1176 FET compressor.Analog Obsession FETish is another great plugin take on this sound that’s available for free.Analog Obsession LA-LAIf there’s one compressor style that’s most known for vocals, it’s the optical LA-2A compressor.This is the buttery smooth vintage compressor powered by photocell and tube gain stages. It’s known for its gradual attack time and gentle release that beautifully compliment a great vocal.Once again, Analog Obsession offers a compelling take on the LA-2A that you can download for free. But with so many excellent plugins in their bundle, consider supporting them if you download them all!4. Vocal saturation pluginsSometimes a vocal needs something a little extra to sit properly in a mix. In those cases, saturation is another tool in your vocal mixing toolbox to consider.Isabelle shares her favorite vocal recording techniques.This plugin type adds gentle harmonic distortion that can wake up midrange frequencies and make a sound pop in the mix.Hot tip: Saturation is a strong effect that many producers blend in gently on a bus. Try this if you need another layer of control over your vocal saturationHere are some great free saturation plugins to consider:Klanghelm IVGIKlanghelm is a respected plugin manufacturer that offers stripped-down versions

Did however save my ass hehe. Thoughts? By the way I have demoed today the softube fet and IMO it sounds very bad against the UAD 1176 emulation.The demo files on the website are mostly over compressed.The only + for the softube is it handles transients a bit more clear as the UAD 1176 emulation.The UAD sounds in my ears much warmer more nice saturation which I like.No big deal for this money.The CL1B was much better compared to the real deal, had the pleasure to listen to files.

To me, they're similar to URS in sound quality, only cost 2 to 3 times as much. I don't get them (Waves... literally). I don't think Waves is over-rated. The Studio Classics bundle is on par with the Abbey Road stuff... The JJP compressor is great, the API EQ's are great, the SSL channel plugin is great. I think these are some of the best plugins money can buy, along with the Chandler/ EMI TG EQ and compressor, the URS Strip Pro and Saturation, etc. People just like to hate Waves on the internet... psychologically speaking, I think it's the same reason why people hate Digidesign.We recently added the Softube line and I'll be checking out the compressor when I get a chance. But, I've been impressed with their other plugins, so I'm sure it will be good.

Same here. Nothing

Wish you all the best.Anyway The Glue is already amazeballs. If you can’t make your mixes sound ‘more 3D’ with the current version, I’m afraid the HD version won’t be at your assistance either. I suggest to observe how a real SSL compressor works (YouTube, even). The reason of not being able to utilise analog emulation plugins properly is because most of the times the user is not familiar with the real unit. That is why someone who has experience with real analog synths and compressors, can make a plugin sound more analog too.Always rely on tools that are available at the moment and don’t wait for future products because you never know... Anything can happen at anytime and you might get disappointed.I’m more excited about that 1176 and that Cytomic Synth.By the way Andy, if you read this. Would that be possible for you to list all the currently available products on the market that you have worked on?These are the ones I’m aware of:CytomicFX Pansion Synth Squad + CompressorXfer LFO Tool/Serum filtersLogic Pro Alchemy Sharp filterAbleton Sampler EQ8 filter (basically Cytomic MD 2x OS).Thank you! Few times in the studio I have sat and did a precise calibration test with SSL Buss compressor and UAD's hardware 1176 against every plugin counterpart, and no plugin matches the saturation, natural-sounding compression without spitting out transients... If it was all about "Mixing is an art" topic, There are already thousands of hit records already without any SSL compressor even being used. Even with the 1st version of inaccurate UAD's SSL, there have been multiple hit songs... Even with oversampling. If you do a printed null test of non oversampled vs oversampled file, in majority cases, you won't hear anything and even if there are few things, will be below -60db. So, To oversample or not? Andy sir wouldn't have written actively on 94 pages on quality of modeling, few dedicated posts on oversampling... So good luck with your 3D mixing.. Obviously mixing is an art. When companies haven't even modeled precisely and accurately every single capacitor and component in theory & there are few compromises done for least CPU usage how can they be even closer/equivalent to Analog compressor?

Elysia Alpha CompressorThe hardware on which the Elysia Alpha Compressor plugin is based is one of the most respected mastering-grade compressors there is, renowned for its clarity and “expensive” sound. The processor sports various unconventional features: EQ on the main signal path; ultra-fast response times with an “auto-fast” option that constantly varies that response to match the circumstances; and more.The plugin can operate in a conventional L/R stereo mode but is happiest when switched into mid/side mode where it can maximise its ability to lavish energy, crispness and space onto your mixes, buffing them to a professional sheen that’s hard to achieve without high-end hardware.Find out more at plugin-alliance.comSoftube – Icons Compressor CollectionAlthough not so useful for mastering when used individually, combining the compressors contained in Softube’s Compressor Collection can result in powerful and flexible mastering solutions. The collection consists of three compressors, OPTO Compressor, FET Compressor MkII and VCA Compressor, each modelled to Softube’s exacting standards from a Teletronix LA-2A, Urei 1176 and DBX 160, respectively.The progressive response of OPTO Compressor provides a perfect first round of compression, gently calming the longer-term dynamics and adding cohesion, whilst following this with FET or VCA Compressor (or both, if you like!) will give you ideal tools for handling shorter peaks and adding punch to the mix.Find out more at softube.comDeals at pluginboutique.com.PSP – OldTimer MBPSP’s OldTimer compressor was designed to mimic the qualities of vintage hardware, which it achieves well with its warm sound and musically sympathetic response.The MB variant of OldTimer sees three such compressors combined into a single multiband processor that gives professional-sounding results with minimal effort. Each band offers a set of familiar controls, along with an accurate needle-style gain reduction meter, that make it easy to hone the processor to suit the material being processed. As an
