Comments about Universal Audio 6176 Channel Strip:
I've had this unit for 2yrs and its amazing all around.I would like to fill my rack up with 8-24 of these when I get the funds.Its an unbeatable deal in terms of a pre and comp-Its great for drums,Vocals and guitar-I dunno about bass-Its a little too gritty for that in my estimation...But my favorite strip yet...Totally Pro
Comments about Universal Audio 6176 Channel Strip:
Before I bought this channel strip I checked out a bunch of forums and got opinions about using outboard pre's and channel strips. Seems like most live sound engineers find it too costly and unecessary. Most recommended trying different mics for desired response instead of spending 2K for a channel strip/ pre. I am going to have to disagree. Before I even thought about buying a channel strip, I had bought three different and extremely popular vocal mics. Beta 58, Beta 87, and Neumann KMS105. I went with these mics because they tend to be very popular with other vocalist in the genre of music I represent(Mexican/Ranchera), but still, I did not get that nice, big, round, sound I was looking for. I would turn up the gain a bit, or move the vocal foward in the mix to try to achieve it, but that annoying distortion in the mid highs was annoying everytime I belted one. I would also turn it up a bit around 200hz to capture warmth, and cut out some mid-high, but it sounded artificial and muffled(I own a Onyx1640. Great board, just that the pre's are not for me). So, I would mention this in the forums and got several of reccomendations, but most of the recommendations that they gave me I had already tried. So, I said "well, if the UA6176 does not solve my problem, I can always return it. Now that I have been using it, those problems are over. I got that nice round/full sound I was looking for out of the 6176. It puts you right up front in the mix. The compressor and EQ are wonderful. UA took "transparent" to another level with there eq & comp. Also, when I would solo the channel on the board, and crank the level up on the pre past +10, or more, it would distort in a very musical way. All my mics on this thing sounded wonderful passing through it. This is by far one of the best investments I made. Awesome!!! I will conclude with this. This may, or may not, be the product for you. It will not fix bad singing, playing, etc, etc. What it will do is make things sound bigger and warmer. The compression and EQ are tranparent (non-linear). Very vintage sound. If that's what you want, then purchase it. You won't be disipointed.
Comments about Universal Audio 6176 Channel Strip:
This was a huge buy for me. I'm not rich, and I'm not a pro. I got this thing because the vocal tracks on my home recordings sounded like home recordings. Now they sound totally pro. Really. This thing has a preamp that has been a studio standard since 1960 and a compressor that has been THE studio workhorse compressor since 1964. If you want your recordings to have that familiar rock sound of the last 30-35 years, get one of these. You will not be disappointed.
