Reply To: Using dual compression on vocal recording

[Nick D.Participant]

I don't know how virtual preamps respond vs hardware, but if you want to add a little more grit, turn up the input gain (like Warren says "until it distorts, then go back one") then use the fader to adjust the level into the 1176 to get the proper gain reduction. I use a Vintech 573 (500 series 1073) in the same manner.
