Ok, aside fromt he fact there is no detents;
I have a rev A and the mnats board.
A blackface and a silver face, so the black is the hack and slash mod,
the mnats one is the clean gain mod. All joking aside, they are very close.
I have the box made for the #9 bin and a cable available between them, although I find linking almost useless, how in the ??? does one use that?
I mean, I find matching by hand much closer?
And then, in the end, How in the heck does one supposedly use these as masting limiters? I mean, I can get it fairly close with 1-2-3 db off, and it sounds ok. But I need the metal hit the wall 3-6 db gain type of job done on
a analog limiter, aside from droping 3k and then I still don't know what to buy, what does one do? I mean, I can use a plug, timeworks or L2, but I
can't quite get chimera and metalica levels out of the stuff...
Yes, I know it's insane to do it. I can get awfully close with 2-3 db off the 1176 after the pultec into timeworks or UAD's limiter, but it's DANG hard and not very reproduceable. And can anybody tell me how to use linking work a BEAN? I mean, what's the process to get good stereo limiting? use 1 input gain knob, then one output knob on one 1176, or both output knows on both boxes, and then only attack and release on one, or?
And, I I've read the monster thread a few times, so I don't think I ever found this there. So, hopefully we can answer it here... It's bugged me for
awhile, and best I can find, you have to use both units independant, get them and close as possible with test tones and cross your fingers. BUT THAT IS A PITA if you want to try different input settings, output is easy enough, but the way the 1176 works, it's best to try both. And don't get me started on trying something other than all fast or all slow on attack release...
Ok, enough with rant, hopefully somebody knows. !!!
