(Audio Compression) How To Build 1176 Compressor Clone DIY For Music

[@DS-ru8gd]

very cool

[@PuremixAudioTutorials]

Thanks very much.

[@zairejustin5905]

a trick: you can watch movies at Flixzone. I've been using them for watching a lot of movies during the lockdown.

[@kennethvivaan9534]

@Zaire Justin yup, have been watching on flixzone} for years myself =)

[@RobertoDeNegro]

Yes, that's how it is on the 1176. For the attack and release "7," is the fastest at about 50 microseconds and "1," being the slowest at 1 millisecond. You can use this compressor on about anything and come up with a musical sound. I love it!

[@ken-bion]

How do I get this circuit board,,,,,I love diy's

[@jimmypenrose1401]

Boy, this is an interesting throwback video. Back in 2011 it actually made sense to DIY 1176 clones. It really doesn't today. Pimarily because 1176 plugins have gotten good enough to do the job equally as well the hardware without much - if any - audible difference. Secondly; you can now easily purchase fully assembled hardware clones from lots of different companies that are electronically identical to the DIY kits - yet cost about the same. Unfortunately there really isn't as much incentive to going DIY on them anymore.

[@GabrieleCento]

Nice! but.. where is possible to buy the DIY kits for this machines?

[@ramencurry6672]

Hairball audio company sells kits.

[@ruthlesscutthroat4030]

so many sites.

[@jaybordeaux8111]

I haven't built a thing but you only live once and I want to build stuff now and just have some fun! 😁😃

[@FirstPersonn]

can´t find a tutorials that shows each step how to build this unit i would like to build couples of this

[@bentyreman5769]

where can I get schematics for this? I've always wanted to build one.

[@amaurythewarrior]

this covers the topic very well i guess. but i think it's important as a beginner starting with cheap, simple projects, like stompboxes, maybe on turret boards, and making sure you can read the schematics ! first it's cheaper than buying pcbs, but it's also helpful the day you need to do troubleshooting ....

[@Cegor]

Your video was great man! Thanks for all the info :) Really sparked me to wanting to build some outboard gear!

[@jacobestes]

I love that this guy is nerding out so bad on this stuff.

[@OctaveZangs]

That Fender Rhodes table though :)

[@ИгорьЗабалканский]

good stuff and video too!:D

[@fredrik.larsen]

Hairball Audio. Go for revision D (its the same the UA 1176LN and Purple Audio MC76/77 is based upon). The kit includes all you need except components. They are available via the BOM (bill of material). There is a link to mouser where you can basicly just "add to cart". Have fun :) And remember to check up on safety. You can die if wire wrongly or touch a charged capacitor. Good luck

[@gabriel_kyne]

Okay, I love the idea of building my own compressor. I'm sure it would be a huge headache but also super fun. But, kits are expensive-- just $50-100 less than the price of a prefab clone like the WA76. What would I gain by building my own from, say, the Hairball Audio kit?

[@dirkchurlish4074]

i reckon the hairball rev a sounds a little better than the warm. and the 500 series hairball kit is only $425, looks like. same ed anderson transformers and everything as their rackmount. edit: i'd be more interested in getting a pre-built hairball myself, but at the moment i'm getting very satisfactory blue stripe-y sounds out of this free plugin called Fetish by analog obsession, so it's hard to justify for me. and no, i definitely don't feel this way about all plugin/hardware compressor pairs. i reckon a vintage 1178 would have a specialness that i would not be able to get out of Fetish, though.

[@ramencurry6672]

That’s a good question. For people who are good at soldering and building circuit boards, this would be an enjoyable experience. Personally I would just stick to the Warm Audio or similar type. In the future, if I’m feeling adventurous I would then build a DIY unit for something a little different.

[@Mongoosh]

yeah but when you want to learn the electronics where do u search. i don't want to build the clone and buy a puzzle online,

[@OfficialSwishaTV]

yeah his motherboard is different from others i've seen. i'm quite interested in getting the bits though

[@Eozion]

Yes!

[@OfficialSwishaTV]

where do you get your kits from? my brother is an electrical engineer. gonna make him build me one ;x

[@amaurythewarrior]

well from what i've found there are quite a few revisions you can find ... but i'd just go with the most popular if i'm to build it someday. the pcbs aren't hard to find ... but buying a kit might be less expensive in the end ...

[@TheSteveSteele]

Have you built a 2A?

[@MakingPlays23]

how much are you selling them for ?

[@thegreenguy8837]

Beautifull.

[@MaxiMovier]

Hi Man, nice movie. Soon i will make pair :) Currently working on SSL Bus comp..

[@viktorkigyos3839]

Wow... Is he the CEO of Lindell audio?! 😳

[@EriksonRudy]

Hi, very well built 1176.. like it very much.. may I know how much it cost you in total to built this unit ? I'm planning to built one too... thanks

[@tboonep448]

why are you looking three feet to the left of the camera lens?

[@MetalSweden]

hey dude, i totally love this! i'd like to build one myself. i built a guitar fx pedal from an existing cit but nothing complicated. at least it would have been more complicated without a manual how to do it. i have absolutely no clue how to build such things but i want to do it soooo bad! could you give me some information on how to build one? are there kits / manuals? the right pcb board with "printed components" on it would be cool, i guess.

[@drsteve9370]

From the size of the board, it looks like you could have easily fitted two channels into a single RU... Any reason you built it as 1 channel/2RU? Seems like a massive waste of rack space to me.

[@amaurythewarrior]

i don't think it was a kit. i recognize the parts bag from mouser. great place to source components

[@markjacksonmusic21]

Do you sell your clones? If so what they go for?

[@shumo4]

can u make a tutorial about how to use ART Pro Channel II 2 Preamp Compressor Equalizer plz plz plz plz thank u very much

[@koekhapper]

I see 6 in your rack? :P Nice machines, I'm going to build one soon with some hairball parts.

[@YungKageOfficial]

is this the dude that works at UAD now

[@javilopez1632]

moving atack pot clockwise mean faster? or slower atack speed?

[@BennDown]

Javier López Silva faster

[@ArmorKingEmir]

i wanna build a compressor

[@guitarded1966]

is your kit from hairball?

[@riotska]

Damn... it'd be real cool if you did sell em!

[@charlesandhisworld]

on the 1176, its faster.

[@currentcontentco]

oh this guy smokes za

[@PilferMusic]

have you been drinking? :)

[@experiment0003]

why not just make yours? Save the money.

[@MetalSweden]

please help me out! i'll do some demos and give you credits on my main guitar channel (user/lowendstrings) :)

[@peterm3964]

thats snare has a nasty ugly ring to it . Check out a you tube vid on tuning a snare . you will love it .
