Criminally Overlooked
★★★★★I had comes across a few engineers who endorsed this plugin over the years but never really paid it much attention. What do I need another 1176 style compressor for especially when I have the UAD collection? Boy was I wrong. I had a bass track that I was struggling to get the right snap/punch with and both the trad 1176 and Distressor weren't popping as much as I wanted. I bought the MC77 on a whim, knowing that it had a slight hi fi punchier edge to it, and it brought that bass track home for me. The variable hi pass, TMT, and parallel mix options gave me the ability to squeeze that little bit extra out of my track even at 12 ratio where the others sounded restricted. If your other 1176 style compressors aren't taking you far enough and you need that extra 10%, then this unit is the ticket. From now on I'll be reaching for this one first. It's versatile and it sounds big! -

Workhorse
★★★★★This plugin works well with almost everything that I throw it on! Really useful and sounds great. -
Just bought as a UAD-2 replacement!
★★★★★My all time loved comp would be the 1176LN classic black version. In the UAD version it works just fine, although lacks very very important features that this one has. I have also had problems with UAD's inaccessible hardware and therefore none of the used plugins loaded. Im sure this will become my go to 1176! Wish me luck :) PA I love you! Make the audio world better! -
In a class of its own
★★★★★I compared the MC77 plugin to a hardware 1176 from one of these cloud services and the MC77 plugin sounded way better in my opinion.
It does something magical on kick and bass. If you slam the kick with the 4, 8 and 12 ratio buttons in (slow attack, fast release), the MC77 makes it sound full and pleasant in a way unachievable with EQ alone.
It also keeps vocals upfront and present, better than any of my other compressor plugins. -
Amazing Compressor!!!
★★★★★I have to say, after trying a few different 1176 emulators, this one is the best hands down. For whatever reason, Purple Audio is able to capture a warmth and overall fullness that other compressor plugins that I've used are unable to capture. Definitely a must have imo! -
Snappy
★★★★★This is good snappy compressor that you can also use as an interesting distortion unit. It has an excellent range of control and the extra add-ons at the bottom really help you dial in the exact snap you want. I make electronic music, so I want my compression to be aggressive and tight with a hint of distortion and this is perfect for that. -
Amazing limiting amplifier!
★★★★★In all my 6 years of sound engineering, I have used a lot of different emulations of the legendary 1176 Limiting Amplifier and this MC77 as well. From Avid, Waves, IK TR5 and the Universal Audio themselves, but this one is an absolute beast. I have been using it on all drum buses, bass buses and, of course, on vocals. The irreplacable instrument!
The best Limiting Amplifier I have ever used. Period. -
Need a musical compressor? Here it is!
★★★★★This compressor is created for unique Sounddesign. Specially for Drumloops or Lead Sounds it will be a great weapon:-) Very musical! -
Just buy it
★★★★★I've heard over the years from several local Nashville Engineers that the Purple audio version of the 1176 was better than any other including the real 1176. It's one of those units where you simply cannot "Un-hear" the tone and incredible results. This Plugin does a wonderful job of capturing what this unit offers and has replaced ALL my other versions I used of the 1176 plugins.
