hey everybody its Thaddeus again from

sprout city studios in Eugene Oregon

back with another video today we're

gonna be talking about some fun tricks

you can do with real 1176 is if you

happen to have one okay so if you're

lucky enough to have access to real 1176

l in this is a particular model that was

a reissue of an old classic made by

Universal Audio I think they first came

out with this reissue in the late 90s

and it's kind of been a mainstay around

the world a lot of studios have them and

you're gonna see more than any other

kind of compressor plug-in out there in

the world this has been modeled for just

about every system out there for every

single manufacturer has their 1176 clone

but if you happen to have a real

hardware device you can do something

that's kind of unusual because of how

much clean gain the input structure has

on this Fe T compressor so Fe T stands

for a field effect transistor and it's a

type of amplifier model that you can go

Google I'm not gonna get into it but

with this kind of thing it's not gonna

supply power if you have a 48 volt

phantom powered Michael if you condenser

or an active ribbon or something like

that it won't drive that because it

doesn't supply that phantom power but if

you have a passive mic like a shure beta

57 in this case we're using 421 u which

is a pretty classic awesome studio mic

for doing toms i'm gonna show you that

you can use this as a mic preamp because

it has so much freakin clean grain it's

got great freakin clean game grain so

anyway i'm gonna show you guys if you

flip this over to show you the input

gain this is gonna just be the level as

it's coming in here christian would you

guys would you mind going and hitting on

that drum and i'll just show them what's

happening here

the Christian just went into the studio

and he's in there he's about to whap on

that Tom okay so what we have here is no

mic preamp in between that microphone

and this setup and it's given me a lot

of pretty good sounded clean game here

how boo me that is and thick and then if

I flip over to the compressor I can

drive it a little harder to get into the

compression a little bit more so I've

got it a four to one ratio and it's just

doing a little bit of compression on the

top I've got a pretty slow attack pretty

fast release and I've got a whole bunch

of games and this is just a fun trick if

you ever want to try it and it just

sounds really meaty and awesome and I'm

not doing a whole lot of compression

it's mainly just for gain okay so that's

a pretty silly little trick I mean you

have mic preamps everywhere nowadays but

in case you want to use it as a mic

preamp there's just something you can

get out of it that is just rare and

weird because it's an 1176 and it has a

ton of clean game so let us know if you

have any other questions about this

particular thing or anything else and I

hope to see you soon

thanks for watching
