UA 1176 collection has a bunch of great flavours. I know a bunch of mixers in my field that use them all the time, and I very much like to use them too. These units are a cut above the ones I've used so far.
The Purple MC77 is great. Has lots of colour.
Both are inexpensive right now and easy to test. AFAIK the UA 1176 collection does machine authorization as well (I'd need to check in my mixing room), so no dongle required there either.
I know little about 1176 which is best please

"I know little about 1176 which is best please"
Sorry but sounds like a typical really annoying beginner who is too lazy to Google himself then too lazy to try, too lazy to spend time understanding and just "wants the best"
This is not just a negative reaction.
But you do have to spend the time to learn by yourself rather than just skip to "the best"
There can be no best until you've tasted, sweated, failed, found sweet spots, dumped and jumped and cursed and rejoiced in moments of glorious synergy.
Do the work.

The 1176 is a classic for a reason.MystikDrift wrote: Tue Dec 19, 2023 11:44 am This compressor no good for me control not good, makes wrong movements thats make no relation on materials at all settings glad trying before buy. it must have been all they had long time ago.

Probably the most famous program compressor ever made.
One thing that can trip people up is that the attack and release controls are effectively reversed when compared to other plugins.
Outside of that it's lightning fast very tweakable, really versatile and sounds awesome.

Its one of the worst unusable compressor i hear, I think I would maybe not use a compressor if it was the only one i had. ok so you don't agree, i know everyone seem to love but it seems broke like the best they could manage so many better to choose, at least i know I did the work, needle move bad not relation to compressin, sorry if you offended cause I did not like it. if you like it I am happy for you, keep using. thank you for helping me i learnt something
maybe the worst compressor made, make true cause one of early and bad
i try 4, junk. like spring boing boing all over sound nothing control just mess

I don't think you are offending anyone with your nonsense. If anyone remotely needs to be offended then it is you with all the nonsense you managed to put out.MystikDrift wrote: Tue Dec 19, 2023 2:52 pm Its one of the worst unusable compressor i hear, I think I would maybe not use a compressor if it was the only one i had. ok so you don't agree, i know everyone seem to love but it seems broke like the best they could manage so many better to choose, at least i know I did the work, needle move bad not relation to compressin, sorry if you offended cause I did not like it. if you like it I am happy for you, keep using. thank you for helping me i learnt something
Let's assume I am an idiot and an internet nobody. That is the case from the context of this discussion and our characters at the public forum.
See it this way. You could at any time say to me "1176 is bad, this is my experience, and when you say it is not and you say 1176 is a good compressor that is also just opinion" and it would have technical merit.
Yet you genius would need to explain that 1176 is in EVERY studio worldwide (fire up any video of any studio) and mix engineers and producers use it on countless albums in countless genres. How do you explain that anomaly?
Ask yourself are the people who release platinum material really that naive or was it you completely bonkers with your needle expectations and "needle move bad in relation to compression"
What do you think about the FACT that countless producers used it? I wonder will some chip in your brain smokes when you set yourself to solve this enigma.
I mean even the most partisan can not argue that a piece of 1176 didn't deserve its place in the audio history. Liked it or not, producers managed to spit out countless records with 1176 coloring sounds yet here you have a weirdo saying needle is bad. I swear I haven't expected such cherry nonsense by the end of 2023.

Or from human to troll, even? Anyway, I will buy the UAD 1176 collection tonight. I must be deaf, according to the "expert" troll...

Sounds like someone probably needs to first learn how to use the tools before running out and grabbing whatever is getting name dropped at the moment..

You're probably confusing it with the 1177, the 1176's not-nearly-as-successful sequel. UA really missed the mark with this one, resulting in their going out of business and later reforming as "Liberty Supply" in an attempt to avoid bankruptcy creditors.MystikDrift wrote: Tue Dec 19, 2023 2:52 pm Its one of the worst unusable compressor i hear, I think I would maybe not use a compressor if it was the only one i had. ok so you don't agree, i know everyone seem to love but it seems broke like the best they could manage so many better to choose, at least i know I did the work, needle move bad not relation to compressin, sorry if you offended cause I did not like it. if you like it I am happy for you, keep using. thank you for helping me i learnt something
