  • Getting the 1176 to sound good

    Posted by Stuart Roholt on at 12:14 pm

    Mr. Dana – Like a 1000+ other people, I downloaded the UADx 1176. And, it should be pretty simple, but I just can’t get it to sound good. Can you/would you, at some point, no hurry – do a little demo on how you use it? Or just a description of some settings that you might use for certain situations? I would be eternally grateful. Perhaps other peeps might find it useful as well🙏🏻.

    That’s a great idea! I’ll see if I can put together a lil 1176 walkthrough sometime soon. I’m sure lots of people would dig that.

    Meantime, I mention the 1176 basics (including the setting I use practically 99.9% of the time) around the 17min mark in the “Compression by Ear” livestream. Lots of other good compression tips in there too that can be applied to the 1176.

    That’s amazing! I have to admit, I felt a bit guilty after asking that, because I know how busy you are, and how precious your free time is. I’m so glad you responded with, “That’s a great idea!”. I look forward to that – (absolutely no rush – like sometime this year :). In the meantime, i’ll check out the vid. You’re the best.

      LOL – heck no, man! Ask away! That’s what these forums are for. Questions like yours help me identify topics that folks wanna learn more about – that way I can make the most useful, helpful vids, forum replies, blogs, etc. Chances are if you’re asking a question, someone else has the same question in mind!

      Selfishly, one of my favorite reasons for building out this space here at Mix Protégé is when people ask me technical questions in MP or out in the world — people hoping to learn about a certain aspect of recording, mixing, or a piece of gear — I can be like, “oh, here’s a link where we’re talking about that! Hop on in!”
