Hello there! thank you for all your help. If you could have only 1 compressor, would it still be the Distressor or could it be the Wes Audio Ng76? How do you think it compares to the UA 1176?
Digitally controlled Analog Hardware gear should be the norm in the future. It's definitely the 'best of both worlds'. The modern convenience of 'digital world' and the iconic signal-flow of 'analog world'. This thing is dopeeee!
Holy hell that makes me drool. Got the Tegeler Audio Créme RC last year and these digitally controlled units just shot to the top of my wishlist.. the NG76 looks incredible!
WesAudio absolutely has to paint all their 500 series modules black. It makes them look so slick. 😄 Needless to say, no corners have been cut here, either!
Holy SHIT!!! That kick drum sounded MASSIVE!! And the way it pulled the room up was incredible! The overall performance of it was more than impressive to my ears. Not to mention all the features. It just made the "Gotta Have" list. Excellent work bro!
This unit sounds great. WES Audio is thinking way ahead of everyone else. This is truly cutting edge hardware thats priced right. I may have to pick this up instead of the UA 1176 which has been in my SW basket for some time.
Pretty sure this will be an automatic buy for me -- I just started dipping my toe into hybrid style mixing, so this kind of compressor with the digital recall for my purposes at this point is just about perfect. Thanks David!!!
Wow just wow this thing is a work of art wes audio just did it again folks man the gear worlds got some work to do they took it to the next level with this one 🔥 brilliant
Beautiful David! Congrats. This device is very unique i need this myself. The flexibility and being able to save presets, automate and program with analog hardware sound, this fusion is sick 🤘🔥
Kids need to get into audio engineering, they will never have money for drugs! F***ing wick new compressor love the 1176 style of compression. Kinda reminds me of what SSL did with the EQ, comp and bus comp
Thinking the same thing! This looks like the latest stam 76 with digital control! I hope one day to have a space where something like this would be well worth it. I’ll probably get a stereo pair of them.
@@CreativeMindsAudio To my ears Stam ADG have more mojo but less flexibility. I have a pair of 76 ADG's that I was thinking of selling to grab some mimas or these will suit my workflow better
@@LaFaMiMusic good to know! I have a distressor right now and with how good my plugins sound it’ll be a while before it’ll be actually worth it to upgrade. Also I feel by that time plugins may have fully caught up to hardware 😂.
@@mixbustv The 1.99 membership? Really wanna see the comparison, if i join can you add the waves cla-76s??? Lol sorry just really interested before i blow more money
I’m torn between getting an AudioScape 1176 RevD or get the Wes NG76. Like the features of the Wes but not sure how it would compare to the AudioScape?
I wouldn't but stranger things have been done and of all versions of 76, these are probably the ones you'd use to try that because of the sc and color options
Question: do you need a separate unit for each instance of plugin? You know if you're mixing a song and you wanted to use this on multiple tracks each with it's own settings.
Your channel is a gold mine David! Which of the 1176 units do you prefer for Vocals? The Mimas, the Ng76, the Stam ADG or the Stam D+? I want to pair it with a GAP Comp-3a and a A-Designs Pacifica preamp I already have. I'm doing mostly ballads, pop music and a little bit of rap... Would love to hear your thoughts :)
If I had to pick one would be a really really hard battle but I think I would go with the ADG simply because the blue stripe is amazing and then you have two more options. But the D+ when it works is one of a kind.
Thank you for the review. Sounded great!! Wes Audio is hitting it out of the park on every new release. So hard to choose with limited rack space. For EDM what would be your 1st (under 5k) and budget choice (under 2k)? Appreciate your opinion, thanks!
I suppose you mean 1 unit for 2bus? In the Wes audio catalog that would definitely be the NgBus. Considering any brand that's a tough call. HG-2 is a great unit for EDM (not only), so would be believe it or not the Stamchild MII (not sure if it's below 5K)
Am I not mistaken but better make her made an EQ and compressor that was digitally controlled or is this different? Besides it being 1176 style which is much needed and a staple
I got a notification about comparison video between Wes audio ng76and Mimas and I watched it on mobile phone but when I came home and wanted to listen comparison on my studio headphones and system it said "private video"??
Great 👍 It will be interesting to hear the difference since Wes audio stated too that there is some difference (not difference in quality) due to different design, 500 series and 19 rack.
thing with plugin controlled gear is id wanna slap it on everythign like a normal plugin almost, does the recall/interfacing (or however that works) allow multiple instances within a track while keeping the same settings for a different lane, example: low end control on a drum group, and then high end control for mastering?
Oh no 😄 I think you're missing an important point: this is hardware. It's just controlled with a plug-in, and as every piece of hardware, if you want one here and one there you need to buy two. If you want one on vocal, bass, snare, kick, you buy 4 and you need as many ADDA channels as pieces of analog you have.
So basically based on the sound of this new Wes Audio Ng76, it's doing the exact opposite of Weiss: code line by line to the plugin world..... plugin world THD, Dry Wet mix digital knobs in reverse to the analog OTB world. Impressive #QuakeIIIArenaMasterVoice
Can you give me some advice? would love to see a video on this... I want to buy a pair of compressors and I only have enough money to do it once. call it a cap of $1000 per channel. i could go a bit above but prefer not to. I was planning on some 1176 clone but found the RND 543 and am thinking maybe its better to get a neve product over a clone. its cheaper than a wes audio mimas but i dont see anyone really talking about it.
A pair of what kind of compressor? Fet? MU? Opto? For what? What style? If you a do it all there is only one answer and that's a pair of Distressors, if you want a 76, the Stam 76ADG is the best there is, if you want a diode bridge probably still Stam 609 (dual mono) , a MU at that price either Rhea (stereo, not dual mono) or RSE Audio
@@mixbustv I have to hand it to you. you are one of the most responsive content creators in this space. Respect. I'll look into the Stam stuff. dont know much about them. i am looking for something that has application for tracking on the front end and mastering on the back end. Stereo and Dual mono is a must. Id have to think realy hard before i jump to 1600 per channel for a distressor.
The tech to have digital recall has been around for quite a while and it wasn’t that much to implement. I never understood why it hasn’t made its way into HW pieces more
the game would definitely change the day I could have analog gear (1176 or la2a or tube tech or...) and multiple inserts playing in my daw at the same time, with that one gear. 🙃
😂 I'm sorry to break it down to you but that day will never come. Analog doesn't work like that lol you need, now and forever, a unit for any channel you want to use that unit on. It's physics. It's like you're waiting for the day where you can use the same $100 bill to pay everything
@@mixbustv lol I have some analog equipments, I know that it's almost utopian, you can't divide a capacitor into 10 😅, but let's be crazy, optical fiber is already an extraordinary advance in the field (one input, 8-16 output with one cable), I just hope that science can still work miracles, that's all 🙂🤞
omg i like it. I'm curious how it sounds next to an original 1176. Also, can the saturation mode be used simultaneously with the compressor ? If not thats a dam shame !
No it can't be used simulaneously, they way they achive that function is actually very complex. I will release a full "vs" video between this, the mimas, blue stripe, rev d and rev d tube for members only tho' this upcoming week.
@@mixbustv That is too bad, i know when i chatted with WE Audio regaridng their 500 series titan rack they had the info open source for other develoeprs to be able to make it to be compatible. Il be grabbing a few of these down the road. The Dione is great !
It's so funny to see all the mono comments. The 1176 has always been mono. What people want is a stereo AT THE PRICE of a mono lol, because you can get a matched pair from the factory. People just don't wanna pay for it lol
@@mixbustv yeah .... not at the same price of one but definately something cheaper than 2 ... also a stereo unit would work amazing with Bitwig's workflow
@@mixbustv Of course im just wondering if anyone would build a dual system... Is that even possible? Theyre revisions but could change it. Are you getting another??

It might sound a bit corny, but the over 50 years old 1176 (or rebuild) is the most versatile compressor even till today.
Hell yes. I hope everyone boosts them up so they can keep pushing out new devices. The dione is amazing.
As always, honest in your reviews. Love your channel !
The versatility control and automation of digital and the performance of analog. I'm looking forward to the future in audio.

Tech 21 has had digital recall on some analog guitar pedals over the years which was really cool.
I’m torn between getting an AudioScape 1176 RevD or get the Wes NG76. Like the features of the Wes but not sure how it would compare to the AudioScape?
I"m not familiar with Audioscape
Was literally looking for a dual 76 style comp. Seriously considering going all Wes Audio.
Looks amazing!!
So damn cool..first we digitally emulated hardware ..now we have a hardware emulation of a digital emulation so to speak.
This is fantastic!
Looking good, tres Bon!
Any possibility of using a pair of Ng76 to function as a dual channel bus compressor?
I wouldn't but stranger things have been done and of all versions of 76, these are probably the ones you'd use to try that because of the sc and color options
One of the most important things is go to the bed and next day continues with the mix...
I think you would want two of those. For buscompressing.
Question: do you need a separate unit for each instance of plugin? You know if you're mixing a song and you wanted to use this on multiple tracks each with it's own settings.
unless youre performing magic in your studio, you need more than one unit
Im also interested, maybe you have to print one track and you can use it on the next.
@@YungK that's kinda whT I was thi for
WOW, I WANT ONE!

Could someone please explain how he's able to use a stereo drum track with a mono hardware unit? Thanks a ton
At no point he's using it on a stereo drum. All drums and vocals were mono. Not him nor anyone else could use a mono compressor on a stereo source
