Warm Audio WA76 Tutorial
We’re very excited and proud to present the WA76 by Warm Audio – a brand new addition to Groove. Definitely one of the best purchases we’ve made!
In this video Shawn Hatfield does a quick tutorial on the WA76 Limiting Amplifier. Shawn applies the compressor to a drum buss and electric guitars.
CLA-76 Plugin Intro/Tutorial
Check out this quick introduction to the Waves CLA-76 compressor on a Taylor 210ce. Are your guitar tracks missing a little punch? Do your reverbs sound thin and weak? We use an 1176 style compressor plugin on nearly all of our projects. The CLA-76 is based on the popular 1176 Peak Limiter originally made by UREI in 1967. You can set the ratio to 4:1, 8:1, 12:1, 20:1, and All. Unlike most compressors, the attack and release settings are slowest when set to the lowest setting and fastest when it is set to the highest setting. Superfast attack!

Pro Tools Tutorial: Mastering Chain
Mastering your own tracks can be exciting and exhilarating because you’re getting close to finalizing your project. If you are new to this process, however, it might drive you right up the walls. Some issues may be the types of plugins, the order of the chain, or maybe it’s time to upgrade your DAW.
