Hey Warren, In the past I've rotated between Limiter into Compressor or Compressor into Limiter, Sounds here that you like that ladder. I know both have their merit, but how would you decide when to order these ?

I really like to use a 610 preamp into an 1176, deess a bit there. Then I focus the lead vocal into 2 separate busses, one for chorus and one for verse vocals, my chorus vocals are chained to 3 compressors and verse vocals are each chained into the other 2 compressors. I like to use something to bring clarity to the verse and attitude to the chorus, after this it goes through another deeser(I like the sonnox supresser), and from there it goes straight to the stereo buss

@@agesonjohanesburg2915 actually yes there is eq, right after the 1176, I have a Curve Bender with some very sparing settings, nothing too drastic, I love the warmth of the curve Bender and that "live rock band" feel of letting the singers voice have a long leash. Sometimes, if there's an annoying pitch, I actually use the eventide spliteq (what a fantastic plugin btw), it really gives you control without a heavy handed push.

We use Neve 1073’s for Mic Pre’s as well, usually a pair, as we use two Vocal Mics at the same time (right next to each other). For Limit & Compression we first hit a Tube Tech SMC2B Multi-Band Stereo Compressor/Limiter, and sometimes dual 1176LN Black Face behind the SMC2B. Mics in most cases are a Telefunken Elam 251 & AKG C12A or a AKG 414EB w/C12 Capsule.🎤 The Multiband is Trick! 🎯

I’m using a wa8000 into a GoldenAge 1073 the Premier edition--> Antelope Audio Zen Go interface. Then I use the DSP plugins so I can have effects on my voice in real time with no latency the effects I use are de-esser, a transparent parametric EQ, then a pultec style EQ for the warmth, then 1176 Comp and ending with a Distressor emulation(a very good one, real close to the hardware) I have the Distressor set to 10:1 so it activates the Opto mode. although I might try 2:1 or 4:1 next time. oh and I love the 2nd Order Harmonics button on the Distressor. Sounds very analogue. Sometime I’ll add tape emulation after the Distressor

Thats actually pretty crazy for me. There isn’t a single tube going through. Of course the tube is not a must but a fet condenser going through the transistor pre and then into a vca into another fet compressor is just too much for me 😅. Im definitely using a tube mic for this chain.

Is there a particular reason for having the DBX before the 1176 instead of after it? I haven’t tried it yet with my plugins, but I’m thinking that the occasional super aggressive peaks will cause the DBX to work super hard. Would be nice to have them caught by the 1176 before they reach the DBX for gentle compression. Is my concern valid? Eager to get your thoughts! :)
@Producelikeapro
5 ай бұрын
The ratio of the DBX would only be set to 3:1 so it won’t adversely affect the sound. I find the 1176 set properly should only catch the worst peaks

yes 100% it just keeps everything level at the end as he said the super aggressive note so it shouldnt even matter unless you peak a word which more of a singing thing aside from sibilance rapping

Depends on the singer. Compression/Limiting isn't always used. I prefer the 1066 over the 1073, but any Neve 10_ _ is fine. On my voice I've tried a U67 or C12A into a 1066 into an LA-2A in Limit mode with 3-5 dB reduction. Another one I've used is a Shure KSM313 into an RCA/Retro OP-6, into a Chandler Zener limiter in Limit mode.
