This is the latest update of the UA 1176 Compressor Plugin for Legacy VS recorders (VS-1680/1880/1824CD). Universal Audio 1176 Compressor Legacy Update (PC/Mac).Our absolute favourite one was the GEM Comp76 v2 by Overloud because it offers the highest amount of control over the compressor's behaviour and tonality.īesides, the other extra features like a high pass filter, mid/side processing, and harmonic level controls make it an extremely efficient plug-in to add to your workflow. These compressors aren't usually good for your 2-buss, but they can deliver incredible results and quality enhancements all across a mix.
To recap, here is the complete list of the best 1176 plugins:ġ176-style compressors are amazing to add aggressiveness to a source and are incredibly adaptable and simple to use, due to their few controls. The tone of the drums feels slightly fatter and fuller compared to the others. VC76 is pretty subtle but brings the midrange forward very nicely. It's very simple but still pretty effective. It also features both all buttons in and no buttons in modes and delivers a really nice gritty distortion that could really help make any signal more aggressive. Last but not least, the VC 76 by Native Instruments is another true-to-the-original model that offers you the same settings as the original unit but with a mix knob and sidechain with gain control.
