I have an idea that might be crazy. I've been considering building an 1176 clone, in part for the experience. I was leaning towards a Rev D, as consensus seems to be that it sounds the best. On the other hand, I would be building a compressor for its character. Shouldn't I be building a Rev A, since it has the most?

Hi. I'm an enthusiastic amateur, learning as i go. I have been recording school concerts and orchestras in large cathedrals and churches. Nearly all the advice and tutorials around the use of compression and limiters seem to be aimed at bands with drums, guitars, bass etc etc.

I thought this mix I did might serve as an interesting analog mastering comparison using a few compressors with tubes and trannies.

Hello,

I have a very simple question about the levels in mixing, here it is;

Hi all,

I'm interested in building one of these 1176 clones from Hairball Audio. Has anyone else done it and can they comment on the sound compared to the original?

I don't own a good brickwall limiter/maximizer in my drawer of plugins. And I know I can get one for $29 from Waves. But I own Waves Renaissance Compressor and was wondering how to build one, if possible with a few compressors chained together or something. I was inspired to try brickwall limiting to my music by a couple of sources. I play bluegrass acoustic music.

In 2001 Universal Audio started it's line of plugins/DSP cards with a model of its own UA 1176. Their model of the 1176 was very good, but as you'd expect they've learned a lot over the last 10 years and a number of their recent plugins are more complex. A lot of people have been lobbying for them to go back and redo their old plugins and it looks like they've been listening.

Is there such a beast?

I just did a spectrum analysis of two of my reference tracks, and they both had a frequency cut off at about 17khz. I don't mean attenuation, I mean a vertical line. How is that done? I certainly can't emulate it with EQ.

Finally, a true stereo 1176! With over 2000 units already sold to date since the year 2000 re-birth of Universal Audio's 1176LN, it is clear the public's love affair with the legendary sound of the 1176 is still as passionate as ever.
