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

I agree! I just bought them 10 minutes ago, real excited to give them a whirl!

😍

If you use studio one daw you can do this

@@MrSkyTown i do use studio one (it’s my main daw) can you please tell me how?

Are presets available with use in cubase? I spent 5 minutes playing tidy after downloading but not sure the ‘preset’ button (as appears on this vid) is available???

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.

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

HR is threshold

@@UniversalAudio Apple pioneered Computer Audio, no major studio's ever have a pc, they didn't do music or video ! They did hate us for being first !

+ Lex 480 and Distressor :)

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

@@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..

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.

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

Yup!!

Adjust the % on the Top right hand side

We have more OH content coming!! Stay tuned!

I beleive you hold shift and click on every button

Yup, just hit shift + ratio buttons.

Yup, sure is! Shift click!

Yes! TB3 and 4 are interchangeable on the Mac.

Do you?

I love PB & Js. But it's gotta be crunchy and must have no crust.

@@tylertube87 hey good for you . I want my drums to have some punch to them .

@@MurdaMetz I want my PB & J's to have grape jelly on them.

@@tylertube87 don’t know what a sandwhich has to do with my opinion , but ok . Haha

@@tylertube87 I like my pb & J’s your mom makes . She makes them just right .

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.

Threshold

yeah, a great way of handling gain staging within the plugin.

Basically the threshold

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.

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!

@@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?

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.

@4:20

No, the LA2 is available via Spark and will run on your CPU. See spark.uaudio.com for details.

@@UniversalAudio thank you for your response

You're welcome.

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.

@@UniversalAudio Thank u so much!!

You got it!! Enjoy.

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.

@@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.

👍🏻

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.

@@stevea9248 - good advice Steve

Both!!! Generally speaking once you cross 10:1 it's considered limiting.

@@UniversalAudio oh that’s good to know, thanks!

👍🏻

They've been a classic on vocals for decades.

Tell me you have no idea what you're doing, without telling me you have no idea what you're doing

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.

@@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).

Conditioner is better
