URS 1970 vs 1980

Aargh, got caught up in work and my overlap plan failed (installed 1980 3 days before the 1970 demo ran out). Didn't get a chance to compare them on drumbus.

In general, a have a better feeling about the 1980.
Opinions???

I actually like the 1970 better!
Without comparing the plugs to the "real thing", I personally have fallen for the smooth sound that I think the 1970 gives me, compared to the 1980.
I use it on the drum buss, snare etc, and also liked it better as a master buss as well.

But that could have something to do with that it fits my type of music better??

I havent really made up my mind regarding the 1980....right now I think it`s to..."harsh"?

Thanks.
I'm all for the '70's vibe, just got a feeling that this plug was up for a task too big.
But SSL is kind of gritty, maybe easier to emulate in a plug.

I might wait for Chandler..

When I've done shootouts with my various comp plugs vs URS, I rediscovered
an old freebie: D3. I got it to work really good in certain situations. A plug from '98 or something...!

I dig em both...actually like the 70 in most cases better, especially on 2 Buss, but the 80 is cool for drums

I got the URS eq`s, & comps cos I think they sound fantastic,
but I will definitely buy the Chandler as well, to match with my TG Channel.(I bet it`s gonna sound amazing!!!)
U can`t have to many, at least not when it comes to quality plugs

I'd like to see a SSL channelstrip (different than the quad compressor) and a DBX160 compressor from URS!

He pretty much just did. I wonder if it will be modeled after the 9000K, or if it will be a switchable E/G thing like the AWS900? McDSP already did the Channel G, and URS has their S EQ, which is the 4000.

It's cool though because the SSL plugs will likely be native if their free release of the LMC is any indication. Channel G is TDM/RTAS only. I need Audio Units for Logic 7 Pro.

I look forward to the SSL plugin offerings. That LMC has some mojo for sure. Thanks again for that little treat! thumbsup

After working with both of these, I gotta say that I think the 1980 is a lot more useable to me than the '70.

And I was really looking forward to the '70 being the answer to my plugin compressor prayers.

But I've been coming to a realization that I don't like to 'chew up' my sounds as much as the 1970 seems to. And as I've mentioned, I never use the 1176 on anything other than 4:1, so take that into consideration.

But it just seems that the 1970 destroys the sound too much. Just my silly 'ol opinion.

Funny how one man's fodder is another's gold....I feel the exact opposite!
Maybe you can tell me how to make the SSL sound good on the 2 Buss. i find it usefull on the drum sub. I really want it to be cool, but I have not figured it out yet I guess....How are you using it?
I love the 70....but I wanna love the 80's too!

He, he...
I agree!
I love the 70 to

I actually think the 80 is "chewing" up my sound to much..
I just cant get used to it like I can with the 70.
But maybe that time will come where I just loooove the 80:-)

I agree with Max.
Plus the 1980 has some graininess to it, as the original has.

The 1970's wearing a shirt that's one size too big, I might prefer Channel G in
Api mode (forward feedback)

Yeah, to each his own, right?

I wouldn't use either on the 2Bus, personally.

I am all to glad to be able to back you up when saying Channel G is the preference for my work as well. What a great plugin.

Cheers man,

There are two Kennys
- one that is dead or about to be
- one alive and kicking mister, produceher

The latter one once made a "legendary" Channel Strip preset named "SSL".
This has only been revealed to the Digi Knights, but now a photo has been posted on www. The secret is no secret anymore..
