Just understand it's an aggressive compressor mainly used by professionals for many years to tame transients. That's why you use your ears like the pros
Although I knew this and it may be with it says on the website but from my experience with the CLA specifically not all the other clones I found it to be the opposite despite the history of the knobs being backwards I think a test would be best with the Waves CLA 76

I did know that the A/R values where reversed, but WHAT I had no idea the attack length on an 1176 was THAT short? But that would make sense seeing how so many engineers treat the 1176 like a limiter more than a compressor. Super fast attack times are of course ideal when taming transients in a vocal and such
I got a question then. Since the attach is always very quick in comparison to others, is it better to use other compressors on the kick or snare for example since they have a slower attack?
In my opinion, yes. Unless you’re trying to tame the transient on your drums. I do like the 1176 on vocals because it contains the vocal peaks really well.
So... whats the sifferwnce between the fastest and slowest attack time? Do you hear that difference? Fastest is virtually instant and the skowest is the equivalent of the fastest on any ither conpresssor
So this means that this compressor doesn't let the transients through? Cuz 1-millisecond-sound must look like something like just a microclick. I'm a little bit confused.
Could you do a video on how to decide how much low end should come off of a vocal. Everyone seems to have different opinions or just cuts at 80-100 khz. I feel like there’s some quality tone in that range and I hate having to cut it all out
It depends on the artist voice mic but it obviously also depend on what your going for. To me cutting around 85-100 keeps enough to make it sound more full and sorta like you’re in the studio w the artist and the more u cut the More it starts to sound pushed back in the mix obviously w less of the vocal cutting through
For me, I use it on parallel compression tracks for kick, snare, and vocals to squash the peaks. I’ll also use it lightly on the main vocal to catch peaks.
this is compressor, an audio plugin which makes loud peaks quieter, so it can brings overall volume up without distorting it, and this is one of fast ones that react to loud peaks very soon after they hit to tame attack from sound. this one differ from other compressors that intentionally pass more attack to make sound punchier
Only gain reduction. All audio in the signal is kept from exceeding a certain level but nothing is boosted. The same as a compressor but only one function.
"This is a very fast attack" when you get home and your wife is already nagging you
True 😂
I learned it too late LOL. appreciate you
Fr 😂
@@predatorx8081That's a plus. I learned with this one and despised every other one for the longest time 😂
Jerry you've taught me that the manual is always the best before the general knowledge i got
Fr I thought 1 on the attack meant fastest
Theo Von is truly a man of many talents
Damn I knew 1176 has a fast attack, but I would have never guessed how much. That's super interesting
This is the main reason for parallel processing with this device. Good on you for posting this.

No wonder I've always liked the sound of a slow or slow medium attack on vocals with this comp
Quality information and straight to the point. Keep it up bandito
That’s a gem I didn’t know that
This may be the first time I've actually learned something useful from a youtube short
Lesson here is RTFM.
Thanks for this video, you're going to save a lot of frustration for a lot of people 👍
RTFM and "if it sounds good, it is good" were my school's main mottos
Never knew about the figures. Thanks for dropping this gem
It's in the manual
Thank you so much. So many are Confused about this because most other compressor plugins from other companies confused a lot
Thank you for this for real.
That explains a lot about it's popularity. Nice one. :)
Wow. I had no idea for real. That’s insane
Thank you for this for real. Finally a clear video
This is dope info i appreciate it
Thanks! Make it so we can hear it in the next vid!
Thanks for sharing this!
Instructive thanks !
What? I have to subscribe right away.. good information I know this today been using it wrong
U are the greatest😊
This is what makes it ideal for rap
Thank alot for this tip bro
100th time I've son a video on this. This can't be fulfilling bro.
I don’t think I’ve seen one video on this.
Thanks so much for this
my fav comp
I JUST learned this a few weeks ago.... Had to go back and adjust each of my tracks 🤦
Great info.
You wouldn’t even know how much this video is needed 😂😂
Good to know!! :-) Thank you!
Nice.
1176 greatest of all times
😮 didn't know! Thanks
Thank you 🎉
thank you sir i did not kno this!!!
very true thank you
Yuuup. It’s what took me so long to start using one. Never sounded right.
I owned a real Tube-Tech CL-IB.
After years of magical service, I had to sell it. A long story!
Thanks for this

Yup
Thank you.
Damn, Thanks!!!
Thanks man 👍🏾
that’s wild
How did I not know this earlier
wow the amount of tracks ive used this wrong on 😅😅😅
😂 But if it sounds good; it is good.

The attack knob fastest setting is to the right.
Wow... i didnt know that
Thank dude
I love 1176
Thanks
This only waves or all plugins of this model compressor?
I have no idea what the hell any of this means but I'm glad your music has a good offensive stat
Thank you! -=80)
Wow
😊😊
So how does it make it better being super fast
So how would you use it differently compared to a regular compressor?
bruh this whole fucking time i been using it wrong no wonder my mixes been a lil harder to mix😂 whole time it was backwards lol
❤❤
I always though that it felt off. Now I know why. lol
newbie here, would this be useful on percussive elements and stuff with very sharp and quick transients?
YUP
It’s actually audible. Oh my heavens to Betsy. If you can’t hear attack and release enough to know you need to stop.
never knew.
When would you even use that slow of an attack? Maybe to level off transients? Feels like you might as well set it to instant.
How make the right sec on vocals
I got a question then. Since the attach is always very quick in comparison to others, is it better to use other compressors on the kick or snare for example since they have a slower attack?
In my opinion, yes. Unless you’re trying to tame the transient on your drums. I do like the 1176 on vocals because it contains the vocal peaks really well.
it is still worth for a mastering chain or better a vari-mu type?
"i'm fast as fk boy"

voila, the manual is the secret. ;)
Yep, that’s what it sounds like, CLA-76’ attack is slower than it should be.
does it work the same way also on Slate Digital’s VMR with all the colors of compressor (black one, blue one also)?
I don’t have those plugins but I’d assume so if they’re emulations of the 1176.
Holy shit my guy 😅

I’ll put it on the list.

Does anybody kno a good setting for rap vocals im still learning🥴
Didn’t know
That’s a Titan Attack… 😊
omg
finally someone is talking about that. Producers need to study more their own craft lol
Which is this mic and your interface? I guess neumann and.?
Except if you gotta Bluey lol! The attack is reversed!
But does it go to 11?
where is the puppet ?
I think you talking about an other engineer "Reid Stefan".
Some manufacturers make those knobs backwards to make it more “normal.”
So what are you guys using this 1176 comp for ? More for kicks ?
For me, I use it on parallel compression tracks for kick, snare, and vocals to squash the peaks. I’ll also use it lightly on the main vocal to catch peaks.
I never knew that. Hm. So this is really only a fast attack compressor.
Can someone explain the context? And what software this is? What it's used for?
this is compressor, an audio plugin which makes loud peaks quieter, so it can brings overall volume up without distorting it, and this is one of fast ones that react to loud peaks very soon after they hit to tame attack from sound. this one differ from other compressors that intentionally pass more attack to make sound punchier

that's why my vocals sound awful when I used it. I know I'm doing it wrong 😭
Let's hear the difference then
i might be dumb but... what's the difference between limiter and compressor?
Only gain reduction. All audio in the signal is kept from exceeding a certain level but nothing is boosted. The same as a compressor but only one function.
Where's the difference to just clipping? Your ear doesn't notice a few µs, does it?
