Are you struggling to manage peaks in your recordings?

Whether you're dealing with belting vocals, rogue snare drums, pointy kick drums, or sharp plucky guitar lines, all those sudden spikes can wreak havoc on your mix, making it a real challenge to achieve the sound you're after.

Maybe you've tried other compressors like the LA-2A, but found they didn't give you the control you needed to shape your dynamics.

In this video, I'll introduce you to a tool that professional mixing engineers swear by for peak control: the 1176 Peak Limiter from Universal Audio.

From the original hardware unit to various emulations, and to the UAD version used in this video,this absolute beast of a compressor offers lightning-fast response times and a truly unique interface that gives you the power to tame those unruly peaks and truly sculpt the dynamics of your tracks with absolute precision.

From drums to vocals, guitars, and everything in between, this tutorial will explain how the 1176 has got everything you need in a compressor.

By the end of this video, you'll not only understand how to use the 1176 to achieve consistent peak levels, but you'll also discover a whole new world of possibilities for shaping the tone and impact of your mixes.
