About this video
In this video Zane from Audio Tech TV (formerly Simple Green Tech) looks at how to setup the Waves CLA-76 tutorial. But this will show you how to setup pretty much any 1176 compressor plugin. The 1176 is a very easy compressor to use and it's very quick to setup. Match that with it's excellent, musical, sound and you will likely be reaching for an 1176 plugin for pretty much everything in your mix. The Waves CLA 76 plugin has both the Black and Bluey versions of the 1176 compressor and each one has it's own unique character. In this video I look at how to setup the 1176 on vocals and on a drum bus. Plus I go over all of the controls so you should feel comfortable enough to start loading the Waves CLA-76 into your projects and dialing in your own settings.

Always have my attack at 11 and release at 5 o clock. Works every time. Also a good tip… before you compress to balance peaks, go through and clip gain down big peaks so the compressor doesn’t have to work as hard. You’ll get a more cohesive sound.

Great video, thanks! One thing I missed in the video was checking what level you are going into and out of the 1176. I heard the compressor works best on inputs "sitting around" -18 dBFS? At around 4:17 your bass track seems to be hitting the compressor "sitting around" -13 dBFS, peaking at -6.23 dBFS. How can we make sure we're setting the input levels optimally?

Loved the video, I just ended up with one doubt: What it means when that red light is on?

@user-wx8ex9tl5x Ай бұрын

thank you so much for sharing. this is very helpful. I have one more question though. the red light above the meter, does it matter when it turns on? does it mean that your signal is too hot? cause i notice that it turns on pretty easily and often on drum buss.

If the attack and release are opposite in this plugin, how do we interpret the number they use for those features? Is it milliseconds? If the number goes up as you turn the dial, it's weird that it means that it's faster. Good to know!

When processing vocals do you use multiple compressors ? Would you de ess, EQ, then start compressing with cla 76, then go to a vocal compressor like Rvox ? Sorry, I am very new and learning

@AudioTechTV 8 ай бұрын

A lot of times I will use multiple compressors. I usually do a channel strip with some eq settings and also I use the gate on it too. Then I’ll go into a 6 band eq typically I used REQ6 and do whatever is needed after the channel strip. If a deesser is need on the vocal then I will try it before the compressor and sometimes I try it after and listen to whatever sounds best on that track. I typically use the CLA76 first where I usually look for around -8 to -10db of gain reduction then I’ll follow it up with the CLA2A where I go for about -3db of gain reduction. After the compressors I will sometimes use the deesser like I said earlier and also I may add some saturation, and possibly a vocal doubling effect like the ReelADT. Then the vocal will also be sent to 1 or two busses with reverbs and/or sometimes delays. Plus sometimes if it’s a loud song it may need to have a parallel bus to add some weight to the vocal. That’s typically how I do it for my own tracks. Nothing is ever written in stone. I will also use other compressors and EQs. Like the DBX160 can be great on vocals too or sometimes just a stock digital compressor can be useful. I’ve never really gotten into Rvox but if that works for you then go for it.

There are free 1176 compressors available. Analog Obsession has one called Fetish. If you use Cakewalk there is one built in to the pro channel. If you use Studio One it has an 1176 in the Fat Channel XT. Pro Tools also comes with one. There are a lot of options out there.

this is the least intuitive UI i've ever seen lol. thanks

@AudioTechTV 6 ай бұрын

I think Waves really nailed the Ui as it’s pretty much identical to the real compressor other than the added little bar at the bottom which has some very straightforward controls.

This plugin isn't even a little close to the hardware. I know the hardware is more expensive but these plugin manufacturers gotta stop selling you a graphical picture of something that isn't. This plug sounds NOTHING at all like the Bluey hardware I have. I A/B compared em myself and it's kind of a joke there's such a big difference. There's plugs you can use for FX with great success and quality but when it comes to bread and butter FX like compression, limiting, saturation, high voltage transformers, ect.... your way better off getting the hardware. Even a cheap hardware compressor is going to sound and work better than this.
