UA 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection | UAD Quick Tips

I love that the 1176 is included with my Volt 276 DI. So awesome.

[@LesterWayneDobos]

Wow! These UAD tips are so very valuable. I saw that surname Lindell from when I was using a Lindell 254 from Plug-in Alliance, which to me sounded like an SSL hybrid from what I know it had a very smooth ratio. But now I've used the UAD Neve 2254 E and it has a much more concise or direct control of compression but not to say that the Lindell 254 was wrong I used it on several songs I published. Never knew the 1176 LN Legacy had a shift-turbo 😆 hold click on the ratio. Getting back to the basics of it, is why I chose to work with UAD that and the fact I can't understand the difference of sound in emulation vs. analog. What is that exact difference? Thank you.

[@almightyyotto]

I was watching this on my phone at first but when the first 1176 sound came in I ran to get my headphones lol

It's on every mix. The LN as a bass limiter, the SE for vocals with faster attack and on the snare top with slow (which is still fast) attack and that unmistakeable character.

[@giorroig]

Excellent work.

Hello UAD, After paying that much money, we didn't get a thunderbolt cable included in the Apollo series, Sad

[@lightafluident.9950]

For all the money people spend on UAD they might as well go for hardware pieces. I just bought the Lindell Audio LIN76 and it sounds beautiful. UAD cant touch it.

[@Steveisnothereanymore]

Can you also use this plugin for the master bus, or would you recommend a different compressor for this purpose?

[@MusicChannel-rf5zz]

Is this included with Solo? Not sure if this is a compressor or limiter.

[@phoenixx_rising]

Was hoping to hear an actual singing vocal track. Love the 1176 though.

@@UniversalAudio can you give us UA 1176 Classic Limiter Plug-In Collection For Free

[@HumanBeingWithFeelings]

Great video! Concise and effective. Does the HR knob do the same as compensating the output manual (decreasing it) when increasing the input?. if so, is there any advantage or difference in doing it manually if I want the gain to be compensated for gain staging purposes? Cheers!

HR is threshold

[@Trackformers]

Is there a way to link the knobs? I mean gain compensate automatically??

[@UniversalAudio]

Not directly, but using the headroom screw does a similar thing.

[@Trackformers]

@@UniversalAudio So the answer is no. It's a straight up no. Ain't got nothing to do with a headroom knob. It's funny to me how, one of the most expensive plugin companies who pride them selves on re-creating hardware to softwar, to every component and to the tiniest detail, does not understand that these hardware units were literally made to be worked with TWO HANDS. U see we only have ONE MOUSE. Funny how in 2023 you ask for sky high prices while absolutely ingoring the most basic functions of these units. Headroom knob has absolutely nothing to do with it. Don't worry, I'm getting the new Softube Opto Compressor. They actually thought about the workflow, and being instantly able to hear what the compression is doing. Instead of having to go back and forth endless amounts of times, just not to get fooled by the loudness. (U guys should check it out, might learn sumn) No link knob.. it's s like a joke at this point..

[@studioborges6463]

Hello! what is the function of the button with a microphone symbol in Uad plugins?

Beeeeennnnnnnnnnnnn!

[@reflekshun]

How did you get the plugin windows for 1176s so large? I have my display resolution fairly low and it's still not that large, I want that thing to kinda fill my screen!! I love the UI so much, more pleasant to use when its more life size, and the needle feedback is super nice :)

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

I have noticed something h happens to the release when I click the scratch underneath the #7 on the release knob on each of the compressors. Can anyone explain what this does? The button pops up a bit and the release changes but I can't tell how. Maybe a linear release? Anyone know?

[@UniversalAudio]

it's a "tilt" filter in the detection circuit/side chain. It'll make the compressor work harder in reaction to high end vs low end. This is great for compressing things like drum loops that have broadband frequency content.

[@matt_nyc_audioengineer]

@@UniversalAudio Ahhhh, sort of like the thrust feature on an AP2500. Cool!

[@UniversalAudio]

Yup!!

[@tanukibrahma]

Love it

[@ChimaAnya]

what does the HR thing do? sorry for basic question

[@UniversalAudio]

HR stands for headroom and it allows you to gain stage through the plugin seamlessly in the background making the controls operate in your prefered "sweet spot". So for example, if you want less compression, rather than having to turn down the input, and then turn up the output, you can simply adjust the the HR screw to the left and it'll effectively do both of those things for you.

[@MooreMusic-kx3hh]

Threshold

[@patrickharber1770]

Could you use the ae edition with the 'slo' mode on the mix bus? Is that slow enough? Is the Fairchild slow enough? Thanks

[@UniversalAudio]

Sure!! SLO mode is 10ms attack. The cool thing is, even if it starts to grab a bit, you can always use the Mix knob to let some of the dry sound through. Same with the Fairchild. It's got a fast attack time, but it's so smooth it's all good. And you've got the mix knob as well. Lots of fun stuff to play with!

[@patrickharber1770]

@@UniversalAudio Is position 4 on the 670 the best for the mix bus because it has the slowest attack time? Or is position 6 because it has the fastest release time?

[@UniversalAudio]

6 is the slowest, 400 microseconds. That's the one we use most. Although, with the mix knob, you can really use any of them successfully.

[@Housermania2]

I raised my hand, I know that sound

[@Legarush]

Is the “All Buttons In” mode available on all the 1176 plugins from UAD?

[@tomik6537]

How would one go about emulating the input drive of an 1176

[@UniversalAudio]

On the 1176 Rev A and Rev E you can set the Attack control to OFF and then drive it to your heart's content.

[@patrickharber1770]

Would this be good on the mix bus?

[@UniversalAudio]

Not without at least dialing the Mix back a bunch. 1176s have a VERY fast attack and you don't want it clamping down on all the transients of your mix.

[@patrickharber1770]

@@UniversalAudio Dang. I've been using it on the mix bus with the Hugo Nicholson - For Everything setting. It sounded good... Thanks for the response.

[@tdz69]

I’m new to recording. I can def hear how compression adds to the drums etc here. My question is understanding when to add it…..for tracking i assume definitely. But then do you also add it again when you mix? I have to watch some more videos to learn but figured this was a good place to post this question. Thanks

[@stevea9248]

I'm 70's-80's old school, so I'll give you my take. There's "limiting" and there's "compressing." Sometimes if you do too much in the recording process, you can't undo in the mix. So for recording, use the 1176 to limit an uncontrolled incoming signal so you don't distort with too much gain...usually around -5db. In the mix you may hear a track go loud and then soft (an inexperienced singer). This is where you can tighten up the dynamic range with compression, bringing the lower volumes up to the middle ground and maintaining a more natural vocal range. Or use as described in the video for punch and sound. Remember, the video uses a pre-recorded track to experiment with.

[@ikigai47]

@@stevea9248 - good advice Steve

@@UniversalAudio thank you for your response

[@UniversalAudio]

You're welcome.

[@davidak9794]

How to use the "HR" knob???

[@UniversalAudio]

To the right for more aggressive compression and to the left for less. This control is a reciprocal volume adjustment changing the in and out at the same time for easy gain staging through the plug.

What is latency? The Waves version that I use is zero latency.

I personally don't have any latency issues with the spark version of the 1176 collection. I pair the LA2A silver w/ the REV A, REV E OR REV AE on almost everythinG. You cant lose.

[@daaaMook]

@@vinnievibez3181 Much appreciate the reply Vinnie! I have to stay as close to zero latency as I can since I track full bands live. UA does not seem to publish latency numbers for each plugin like Waves does. I really need to trial Spark and figure out the latency numbers because I’d really like to try them out (I have no UA interfaces so all native for me).
