WES AUDIO NG76:
wesaudio.com/product/ng76/
Hey there, welcome back to the cabin! I'm Alec Brits, and today we're diving into the WES Audio NG 76 compressor. This sleek piece of gear takes classic compression into the modern era, emulating the revered revisions F and G.
I'll walk you through how it sounds and what I appreciate about it, along with some areas I think could see improvement.
Before we jump in, I'd like to ask for your support. Sharing this video would be a huge help in growing our channel. If that's too much, a thumbs-up would be greatly appreciated. And for those who'd like to go the extra mile, consider a super chat to support consistent uploads.
Full disclosure, I reached out to WES Audio to try these units, and they sent them over. But remember, they won't see this video until you do.
Now, let's get into it. The NG 76 introduces digital recall, which is a game-changer for me. It means I can pull up a session and instantly have all my settings back, a real time-saver.
Digital recall also raises the question of digital automation, and I'll explore that shortly.
This compressor offers comprehensive controls, including input, output, attack, release, mix, and a versatile sidechain filter with nine options. A nifty feature is the ability to switch between two settings, allowing easy A/B comparisons.
The NG 76 also has a saturation mode for adding a touch of warmth or driving it to distortion. It comes with both vintage and modern flavors, with low and high settings, all controlled through LEDs.
The NG 76 includes a VU meter for monitoring gain reduction, and there's an on/off switch for saturation.
The NG 76 can be controlled via the dedicated GCon software, which handles firmware updates, plug-in downloads, and diagnostics.
In terms of usage, it's all managed within your DAW. If you have one unit, you get a mono plugin; with two units, like I have, you get a stereo plugin.
Digital control allows for saving presets, a real convenience for both tracking and mixing.
Now, there are a few things I'd like to see improved. First, I had hoped for automation without introducing noise, especially for dynamic recordings. That could be a valuable enhancement down the road.
On my wishlist, a tempo sync button for release times would be fantastic, opening up creative possibilities.
Another useful addition could be an auto-gain feature for linked inputs and outputs, simplifying gain reduction adjustments.
Lastly, a separate mix control would be great for parallel processing, allowing for a blend of dry and wet signals.
Overall, the NG 76 is an impressive piece of gear. It combines classic design with modern functionality, excelling in recall and flexibility. The ability to shift from clean modern tones to harmonically rich vintage vibes, with the option for harmonic distortion, makes it a forward-thinking product.
Built with precision, this device embodies the spirit of innovation, pushing the boundaries of analog equipment. Kudos to the team at WES Audio for keeping the industry buzzing.
Thanks for joining me today. If you could help by sharing this video, it would mean the world to me and the channel. If that's too much, a subscription or a super chat for direct support is greatly appreciated. Most importantly, take care and be kind. I'll catch you in the next video.

    Got the TLM 103 and just got the NDH 20 and Mt 48. Once I get a designated treated room I'll ditch my kaotica eyeball and grab this. Don't think it'll be conducive to my workflow if I have to remove my eyeball mid session to adjust the knob on the mic and the mt48 does a lot I never read manuals but u should bc it does so much. Love Neumann

    Thanks for this. Since the TLM uses an electronic navigation toggle for the settings, are these settings (polar pattern, pad, low cut settings) retained after you turn off the 48v phantom power & unplug the mic? Or do you have to reset them everytime you use it? Curious.

Now it's experimenting time as I track, mix and master my new album. How much to d o in the box, on my Audient 4816, with the outboard, what gear will I master with. It's infinite.

    Thanks Alec! I'm trying to decide between this unit, a set of cranbourne camden 500 mic pres, and two API 3124v units for tracking drums. I know all will do the job well, but based on sound alone, which one would you recommend? My preference is a darker front end that would make taming harsh transients easier post-recording. The camden seems sonically the most clean, versatile and genre-agnostic. Any advice would be appreciated!

    You can not bypass the mic preamps, the line instrument DI is colored, the only issue for some of us is, we still can not hear the transparency of the AD conversion because preamps and DI can not be bypassed, so the question is what kind of a AD does Neumann MT 48 have ?

    Nice review. It was very distracting to have the editing keep cutting back to you talking while initially showing the controls. It would be better to just keep the camera on the compressor the whole time and just hear your voice describing the features. FWIW.

And how would you remap through the Shelford. Does the preamp negate the need to use an Amp? Thank u

    I love how musical and controlled this is! Unlike pedals where you kind of get what you get, you can really dial in, pull back, recall. This is like the ultimate reverb for outboard gear yet you can get really specific as if it was in the box reverb. I love it. Hopefully I can add it to my collection one day.
