Sonic Academy has introduced a new limiting amplifier plugin that was carefully modeled on the original 1176, which is known for its fast attack, punchy sound, and ability to add density and sustain to a wide range of audio sources.
The SA76 captures the classic characteristics of the 1176, while adding added modern features and controls that aim to take your sound to the next level.
This highly-anticipated plugin accurately captures the vibes and behaviour of the classic hardware compressor/limiters, which has been used on countless hit records over the years. These compressors are known for their fast attack, punchy sound, and ability to add density and sustain to a wide range of audio sources. SA-76 not only captures these classic characteristics but its got a range of modern features and controls to take your sound to the next level.
With the ability to adjust threshold, ratio, attack and release times, as well as an external sidechain input using the classic style interface, we have also added a stereo width control to allow you to adjust the stereo width of the processed audio, and a mix control to blend the dry and wet signals. The sidechain input also includes a high pass filter, and a drive control allows you to add saturation to the signal after it hits the compressor.
Priced £24.95 GBP, the plugin is available for Windows and Mac in VST/VST3, AU and AAX formats. SA76 is free to Sonic Academy Subscribers.
