UAD Powered Plug-Ins Manual - 488 - Chapter 50: UA 1176 Classic Limiter Collection
Grit A simple 1176 trick is turning the attack and release up all the way to their
fastest setting. This has the audible effect of adding compression distortion to
the audio source, and is especially pronounced in all-buttons mode. What
happens here is the attack and release are happening so fast that minute level
fluctuations sound like distortion. It can add a very useful, gritty compression
effect.
This effect is useful on bass, where you might need compression and distortion
at the same time, and the 1176 can provide both in a unique way. This trick
also sounds great on screaming lead vocals.
Artist Presets The UA 1176 Limiter Collection includes artist presets from prominent 1176
users. Some of the artist presets are in the internal factory bank and are ac-
cessed via the host application’s preset menu. Additional artist presets are
copied to disk by the UAD installer. The additional presets can be loaded us-
ing the Settings menu in the UAD Toolbar (see “Using UAD Powered Plug-Ins”
in Chapter 7 of the UAD System Manual).
Note: Presets created with the original 1176LN Legacy and 1176SE Legacy
plug-ins are incompatible with the newer Classic Limiter Collection plug-ins.
Upsampling The UA 1176 Classic Limiter Collection plug-ins (but not the UA 1176LN Leg-
acy or UA 1176SE Legacy) use an internal upsampling technique. The up-
sampling results in a slightly larger latency than most other UAD plug-ins. See
Chapter 9 “Delay Compensation” in the UAD System Manual for more infor-
mation.
