that’s really interesting how higher ratios on the 1176 can actually compress less due to the shape of the knee. thanks for sharing!

@BrockBarr 9 ай бұрын

Yes, amazing. Very surprising

@stupendousmusic4190 8 ай бұрын

The 1176 is really a limiter. So in theory, the threshold would be higher than in a compressor. If anyone can post the exact threshold specs for the limit and compression settings, that would be interesting.

@lalocura1828 8 ай бұрын

You notice it when the threshold is already set and you change the ratios and the needles dance or movement changes. Higher ratio less movement.

@samsonlovesyou 8 ай бұрын

I noticed that you were knocking a lot of db off on each compressor. Up to 20db (just under 10db each on the word "nightfall"). I read somewhere that when using serial compression like this, you only want to take off 2-3db with each compressor. Was that bad advice?

@ultragukuss1325 8 ай бұрын

@@samsonlovesyou with a stable signal 2-4 db is good, but with a crazy dynamic range like he was showing on purpose, that’s probably the way to go. Only to get rid of the high peaks.. but well, who am I to state. As long as it sounds good? 🎉

David, you always have that key piece of info that fills in the blanks for guys like me that have been home schooler students of this black art for a long time, and even though I have learned way more then I needed to, there is always something new ans useful to learn to put more pieces of the puzzle together. The variable knee on the 1176 and the difference in release times between the units are true pro tips for sure, and I always appreciate that you have better demo audio then even the pro manufacturers do. They choose some crappy rapper that is basically talking and you give us people actually singing and singing well. You can do this because you are working and building great relationships with your artists (some more than others, for sure, I'm prerty sure your girl don't mind) Love it man, its always a pleasure watching you grow and growing with you. You truly love audio engineering and it shows man. Thanks for sharing the love

Best video you’ve released in a while! Great explanation of this trick and showing the a/b of it all. I often default to an LA2A. Though that’s because I often found when i put an 1176 in front of it i couldn’t for the life of me get the right setting it always felt too aggressive, and the LA2A often did it good enough. Sometimes I’ll do a distressor before the LA2A though. I had NO idea that the higher ratio made such a difference! I knew the knee changed, but didn’t realize it was so drastic. I usually had it on 8 ratio. I’ll try 12 now. It’ll add that little bit more control and transparent sound. Thanks!

Amazing video David!! The release curve explanation was pure gold, I feel like this type of knowledge is what separates the amateur/semi-pro "mixers" to the real world class professional mixing engineers. Perfection is on the details. I know it would be a ton of work, but I'd love to see a series of in depth analogue classic pieces. Something like "what makes this song great" from Rick Beato but about gear "what makes this piece great" and talk about the general aspects and then some quirks unique to that piece that made it a staple in most professional studios.

@donnythompson9233 4 ай бұрын

Back in the days when I was still using HW compressors, my go-to compression for vocals was almost always serial compression, with a later 70’s model black face 1176(LN) first, then into an early 70’s LA-2A. It’s a great combination for vocals, but also very good for bass, and “some” electric guitars as well. But, there were also occasions when I would use compressors other than the 1176, such as the Focusrite Red, and a few different dbx models, too, and while these VCA compressors weren’t as fast as the 1176 FET (hell, what compressor is? The 1176 is blazingly fast even on its slowest setting) there were times when using various VCA’s in front of the LA2A did produce really nice results…one example that comes to mind was for a hard-strummed acoustic 6 or 12 string. While the 1176/LA2-A is certainly considered to be the “classic” combo for serial compression (and for good reason, it’s a great combo) serial compression doesn’t always HAVE to be that classic combination. FWIW 😊

I use those two compressors the way you've shown - for the same reason. However, I had no idea about the knee changing with the ratio on 1176. Seems that towards higher ratios it starts working more like a limiter.
