Maybe we like the Slate Digital “FG-116″ on vocals, Slate Digital’s “Monster” (a slate “all buttons in” 1176) on the bass guitar, and Waves’s “CLA-76” on guitars, mixing between the black and blue versions to get different flavors. Maybe we can think of having many 1176 plugins models as being like having many flavors of the real hardware. And if you wanted to use ten 1176’s, you had to have ten 1176’s. It’s almost like having a lot of different hardware units, but in the digital realm! Actual hardware never responded the same as another identical unit, that’s just how hardware works. We have low cost ones, free ones, subscription ones, dsp ones, sonically neutral ones, models that react like the ones in famous mixer’s racks, and the list goes on and on. The 1176 is a legend, solid as a rock, and no studio should be without one (even if it’s just a plugin version).īut as a plugin, we have so many versions of the 1176 that it’s starting to feel like an oversaturated market. We now have 1176 hardware models being built new by newer companies (such as the Warm Audio WA76), so that we can bring this classic back into studios in physical form without breaking the bank. The Universal Audio 1176LN is a classic, and deserves its standing as the one compressor you should get if you can only get one compressor. But today, we’re gonna talk about one piece of hardware that seems to be modeled more than most others.
