Fantastic video Dave! Thank you URM for providing so valuable content. Dave really describes every unit in so much and accurate detail. I actually hear everything he says and I can hear these differences with my own hardware 1176 style comp as well.
I only use my hardware 1176 for recording for the tone and character before it hits the converter. Afterwards, during mixing, the cla 76 works just fine.
Absolutely loved this demonstration. Such a thorough and easy to understand explanation. Heard all the characteristics you pointed out in each example. Each plugin leaves me still thinking somethings missing and wanting to add some other plugin after it. Which sucks if you're stuck in the box and your hardware isn't available.
Cool video Dave! I actually hear the hardware unit also had more low-end, which I guess would be more significant on a lower-register instrument. Those audioscapes sound great!
Really nice comparison, I own all 3 plugins and I always end up using the Purple for rock and metal. I'm pretty sure you already know but, try lowering the headroom knob on the Purple then compress to your liking, it will saturate a bit more and might sound closer to the hardware's sweet saturation. I also noticed that your release was quite slow on the Purple which again might take away that bite.
I always struggle to hear some of the elements that mixers describe in videos, but I think this is the first time everything he said I was hearing and agreed with.
07:12 hughe difference, more transients, way more transparent nicer overdrive - the hardware unit... to me its like night and day + the waves is way more closer to the hardware than pluginalliance.
Hey man ... look up to your work allot and miss your content ..your videos with cattle are some of best type on TH-cam... more tracking and tone shaping to a committed take on metal bass ,guitars,drums and mixing and you'll get tons of views.. hope some day get to meet you. Thanks for what you do...
It felt so confusing hearing the hardware just win every time. It hit the compression, saturation, and was so transparent. Amazing. CLAbluey is my jam. Although homie reduced and or gain stages the plug-ins up
Has Dave just been making videos over on this URM channel vs on his own channel? I thought he wasnt making content at all for some reason, glad to see im wrong 😅 enjoyed his videos
The waves CLA gets rid of that dull low mid in a really nice way, it clamps the low end nicely. Plug-in Alliance sounds kind of weird, too clamped. The Slate one doesn’t have enough grab. I think I prefer the CLA. All IMO.
To me it sounds like the plug in versions has problem nailing the release time. MC77 does the best job, but it sounds to me that the hardware has a little bit faster release.
there’s a low mid growl that that hardware has that the plugins dont. plugin alliance is close but slightly boring compared to hardware. maybe use a saturator after the purple. waves and slate sound broken in different ways
I never really use hardware. But from all famous algorithmic 76 plugin sounds choke to me when cranked. After that i just got and tried the Tim P 76 and it was a game changer with crazy amount of gain reduction it sounds no choke on vocals I wonder how will the hardware will sounds. probably that's why top mixer still use hardware instead of plugins
Dave is such a cool guy, I wanna be like him when I'm older
I'd like to hear the uad versions of the 1176 in this shootout.

Nailed it. Thanks

It would have been nice to hear a side-by-side comparison between the plugins.

Love this dude!! We need more NTM's STAT!!

Is that D comp above the 1176 on your drum bus?

cool video, thanks! tell me please, which plugin 1176 do you like today?

Thanks for the awesome video brother! you just got a new sub!!
Definitely needed the UAD Rev A 1176 in this shootout for completeness.
Dave, what do you think of Pulsar Audio 1178?
sir, that really good information. thanks
then why not use a combo of the slate bluey and the waves bluey

this guy isn't really bald he REFUSES he's hair.
He looks good without hair
Is the song from World War Me?
"You Never Listen" by Tetrarach
@@SentientSeven huh, the singer sounded very similar to the one from World War Me
there’s a low mid growl that that hardware has that the plugins dont. plugin alliance is close but slightly boring compared to hardware. maybe use a saturator after the purple. waves and slate sound broken in different ways

probably that's why top mixer still use hardware instead of plugins
how can you do this comparison with out even a demo of the UAD, no chance against the UAD sir
Great shootout 👌
Super interesting!
The singer sounds like Corey Feldman 🔥🔥😂
I wish Dave was my dad
You had me at Blue Stripe, you lost me at Audioscape!
