Waves models have clearly different attack and release times compared to the competitors...

Compression = great !
Character = non

Even their 670 would benefit of some more "deeper/complex" modeling.

I disagree on the 670. That's a very complex model from what I gather. It does weird things to the frequency response, creates lots of harmonics, has crosstalk...it's really just a beast. The quality of the Fairchild, is what makes their 1176 and LA2A so dull in comparison. I wonder if the same people even worked on them. That said, the two of them sound very good, but they're certainly on the clean side. Updated versions would certainly be welcome though.

Now, I used the new UA 1176s last night and UA certainly got them right this time. I'm not sure I'll be able to resist at the upgrade price.

Yap, Yap, Yap. Its always the ones with big mouths that never have at least one audio example of the master works they wax so lyrical about. Typical

My music is completely irrelevant for this discussion and none of your business. We've been discussing the 1176-type compressors here and why we like them or not.
The reason I had to mention some details on how I do things was just to make a point, not to show off my work.

I never said anything along the lines of "maxxxter please show off your work", I simply implied that it would be intresting to have a chance to listen to at least one example where yourself (and anybody else for that matter) whom is not fond of using something so strongly enabling myself (and once again other people) to hear what you are saying. If you think that is a personal attack
it was not maxxxter

geroyannis, mandolarian - Thank You!



In this day and age when there are so many different technologies available - not everyone HAS TO like a very specific FET design and bow to it in submission. Thank You.

And to make a further point, I HAVE heard the HW, many times. Same conclusion.

I never once said any such thing. The bowing down part it did make me chuckle though man. Also where did I claim you have absolutely zero experience with a 'real' 1176 and/or variants on the original? I did not, Why so defensive

That's perfectly fine. You just don't like em. I am sorry other attack you and your music i did not wanted to make it that way i was just curious.

Good luck with your music anyway!

Right so I attacked maxxxter's music which I have never even heard. Yeah I
can really see how I managed to do that...Is it even possible? Now where on earth did I leave the good Doctor's Tardis which YES - The very Timelord himself was kind enough to allow me to borrow... That would be like "Hello McFly! I Already Heard The Music" Its bloody nuts

You see? This is one of the things caused by all the plugins people think "model a 1176". Use a real 1176 before you use words like "farty" to describe its sound. You have no idea what you're talking about. And the
disgusting smeared attack you refer to, blame the plugins. Also, if you use a 1176 (or any compressor similar to it) on a mix bus less than very sparingly and expect good results, the problem is yours, not the compressor's.

Well said Shy man (and only an idiot would/could disagree IMveryhumbleHO

maxxter if you want to write off what I put as a personal attack then fine, Its by no means the first time I have genuinely been intrested in hearing people's work/some of the preach in practice but been left with nothing or at best some excuse regardless of whether or not I ask nicely. So FWIW it is far from Yourself I get abit frustrated with with another one of these scenarios and the frequency of said scenarios I am simply fed up with, You know? Still it is not an attack at you personally let alone your own musical works

It's probably due to your long, rich history of condescending to everyone, telling us all what l@m3r5 we are for not playing death metal, and constantly showing off how every woman you sleep with looks exactly like Jessica Alba. Enough already!

Just kidding, of course (well, maybe not about the Jessica Alba part). You're a prince among men, Dean!

Yep you're right the 670 is indeed more complex, but it doesn't saturate like the new UAD 1176 models if your drive them hard.

Not comparing a 670 to a 1176 here, don't get me wrong, just saying about the behaviour when driven hard.

Anyway, hope they're listening, because long time ago they said that they may release enhanced version that include preamp modeling...

I hope so !

maxxxter I know that dude, I was responding to others also even though my reply mentioned yourself mostly (I ought to of used 'Anybody' instead, My bad). Just the way the quoting thing was/worked out, Again if I did offend you then you have my sincere apology. I could of worded my first post alot better/with alot more tact. It sounded like I was calling you out and that was not my intention

Eric, Oh I really wish that the sleeping with lots of fine woman part were true mate...It is not Well my girlfriend is away so I dare to write that just about. She can barely tollerate the metal thing as it is. I'm thinking thats where I went wrong, The woman all seem to like these singer/songwritter vocals with acoustic guitar toting dudes that write about thier emotions and love songs...etc (WTF is all that about?) Although I may try that if (when) i find myself single again

Cheers Eric take care man, All the best to all as always

Fortunately for you, when you do find your perfect metal girl, she'll have a tongue ring and know how to use it.
