Cakewalk by Bandlab: Know your Compressors - PC76 vs Paid 1176 Emulations

(Seasoned compression veterans can cut to 6:30 to skip my introduction and go straight to the emulation comparisons.)
The 1176 is a classic for a reason. Lightning fast attack and release settings make it easy to tailor some ridiculously cool sounds. We process a drum buss from the Gravediggers' Cambridge offering (thank you Mike Senior) using the PC76 (ProChannel 1176 Emulation) against some of the other 1176 emulations available on the plugin market.
AudioDiscovery's CbB: "Know Your..." series is my deep dive into discussing the valuable items within Cakewalk that will help you record/produce/mix/deliver quality sounding audio. Before you invest into any paid plugins to add to your growing collection, make sure you've exhausted the reseources available to you.
