We, in the studio have become obsessed with compressors. I remember reading an article that was written by a famous mixing engineer and he said, in the old days, you didnt worry about what type of compressor you had, you just used what was available, didn't matter, 1176 or a radio shack compressor, you just used it. He said that the biggest worry that the engineer had in those days was getting through the sessions without the tape machine breaking down and not what type of compressor you were using..

@3DManShadowland 9 месяцев назад

There was a limited genre of music in play just a few years ago, now sound shaping come into play with a variety of songs. Not that they are better, just different. Classic rock, Pop, and Country have completely changed. I don't think for the better, but never the less have changed drastically.

@PlottingTheDownfall 9 месяцев назад

I came up in the 80s and you're spot on. We used the pres in the desk, we patched in whatever compressor was available - usually maybe 2-3 outbound comps were all that was in the rack. If we had the SSL to mix on we used the channel comps and rarely patched in outboard. Tracking, well, different times. The band was in the live room, the vocalist in the control room or small room, and the band played as a band, we hit record and did a few takes. And moved on to the next song. The producer would then listen to the takes, pick the one that sounded best, and then we might overdub a solo, or recut vocals and add backing vocals. It was a very different time and way of recording. Oh and we'd often just use the same mic we overdubbed a guitar solo and move it over to the shakers, or move it in front of the singer. Time was money, and we didn't have time to screw around with 10 different preamps and a dozen mics.

@dannydaniel8975 9 месяцев назад

@@PlottingTheDownfall Right! I have a tascam 8 track cassette recorder. A Neumann tl3 mic. A UA LA-610 mic pre A Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler. If l can't get a hit record with any of that, oh well, then, it just wasn't meant to be, because I'm not buying anything else.

@BibotoMusic 10 месяцев назад

I can't say enough about how much I love the Arouser. I'm glad you brought it out at the end. For some time I was obsessed with gear and plugins but after I got the Arouser, it's what I use 90% of the time. Having a rack full of distressors and 1176s has its appeal. And maybe they do have that magical one percent of difference but meh, I track with a FET compressor just to tame it a hair and then Arouser in the box.

For as long as I've been mixing, I'm embarrassed to say that I've picked up on the 1176 a few years ago lol.

Call me weird but i love the sound of an LA-2A on snare and I'll throw that on a vocals after the 1176. I definitely wanna get my hands on a Distressor though!

@thumbody1 Год назад

If I had to choose only one it would be the EL8. I have a Warm Audio 1176 clone and it works well for what it is but isn't on the same level as either the real deal or the Distressor. I have the UA EL8 plugin and it works quite well but it doesn't have the extra setting the Arouser does. It still works well though.

@hummarstraful Год назад

I have a 1176 that is about 4 years old. The INPUT knob has gone bad and I'm about to ship it to Universal to be replaced. With shipping and repair costs I'm probably looking at $350. I'm beginning to think about saying bye to the hardware world. The 1176 sounds good but I've done A/B testing using just the Waves SSL Compressor and frankly they sounded as good as each other.

@ColtCapperrune Год назад

I’m surprised you can’t find anybody locally to replace that pot for you? It’s a very simple repair. Definitely to each their own, I never judge anybody for their preferences, but I’m going to have to disagree on the waves compressor. To me it’s one of the least believable options out there And in pure sonic quality the hardware 1176 is miles ahead. But as long as the waves works for you and accomplishes what you want it to accomplish, that’s awesome you have found a solution!

@danielrecchia592 Год назад

I will also disagree on the Waves being even remotely close (or any software plug for that matter). However, I would echo the comment about the input knob going bad. I have two UA 1176 and just got back one from warranty repair of the input knob (less than 6 months old). Just as I got it back, the input on my 2nd unit is now acting up. Pretty upset about it, actually. Colt, have you have bad pot issues on yours?

@austinmark1987 11 месяцев назад

While it would be a rough decision, as I truly love both the Empirical Labs Distressor and the UA 1176, I would have to pick the UA 1176 as my desert island session choice. There is something about the harmonic distortion and gritty sound that the 1176 imparts that I find pleasing and musical. Great comparison video! I really enjoyed this!

@gabeatv Год назад

Arouser? Lol. But yeah, I think they are not calling the Arousor "Distressor" because it's trade marked (and licensed to Universal Audio, for example). Great video! I'd have happily watched an entire hour of this.

@PHELCAN Год назад

Two swiss army knives with two completely different sounds. The Distressor really beat the 1176 on the acoustic guitar to me. It brought it up front and made it sound like you were sitting right in front of it at a campfire, whereas the powerful nature of the 1176 biting down on the soft folky chords, felt overpowering and a too noticeable for me. I also liked the Distressor on vocals too for it's ability to hit really hard without sounding too hard. However, I personally am not a big fan of the Distressor on drums, because for me it just makes them sound very "tiny" and less detailed when it compresses them. The 1176 definitely gave the snare a "spank" and retained the high end information I was hearing. Can't say I would spend hours fiddling with the different filters on the Distressor because it's so transparent that I can barely even hear a difference. Just my opinion. Both are definitely awesome in their own ways.

Such an easy decision to me, you can get really close to a 1176 with a Distressor, and the Distressor can just do a lot that the 1176 can't do well. I hate everything 1176 does over 8:1. The ALL IN is just not my thing. Outside of Snare, Kick and maybe lightly on Bass Guitar, I can completely live without a 1176. Honestly, If I could only have 1 compressor, I'd rather have a FMR 1773 or 7239 than a 1176 just because they are so much more flexible. The Make up gain amplifier is really the only thing special about a 1176 to me so if you aren't really diggin it out I'd rather use something else.

Have the 1176 and Distressor and use them every day. I would choose the 1176, but EL runs a better Instagram. That said, my one compressor would be the API T25. It's like an 1176 with tubes, stereo compression, and a D-S button.

If only the 1176 was stereo. I didn't even know that when I dropped 2k for mine haha. I was a noob.

You can pry my Distressors from my cold dead hands.

1176 звучит лучше на порядок. верхние частоты более открытые.

what about cl1b vs distressor for tracking hiphop or mixing later

I love my Distressor :) its INSANE flexibility (plus bomb-proof construction and great value AND only 1 rack space)... that's why the EL-8 was my "desert island" choice for hardware studio compressor :)

hey Colt. Can you clarify how you are able to process a stereo signal with mono compressors? I feel like I can hear some cymbals happening on the sides.

I liked Distressor the hardware unit because it has a very soft and smooth high-end and mid-range into it which I didn't hear in Arouser because of sample rate stuff.

Personnellement j’ai plein de plugins dont l’arousor et le distressor d’uad mais franchement, ils ne valent pas le distressor en hard, je l’entend tout de suite. Sur les plugins, ils manquent toujours du bas, du corps, c’est creux à côté de ce que j’entends avec votre distressor et il y a aussi toujours des aigus désagréables sur les plugins alors que sur votre distressor (ou votre 1176) c’est soyeux et doux et corpulent à la fois… franchement, les plugins c’est de la merde comparés au vrai matériel la plupart du temps même si j’imagine qu’on s’habitue à tout notamment.
