Chaps Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I wish I could use it but, like every other UA product I try to authorize, it will not connect to my Ilok or accept the password. Not worth the trouble for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luc Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Awesome, thanks for posting this! I didn't have it. When installing it, I noticed almost all of their plugins had been updated so I did that at the same time. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1176 isn't in the Essentials, but yeah, basically they have given all the Essentials for free. The only one I don't have is that Essentials has the full LA2A collection and they've only given the basic LA2A for free. This 1176 is missing the side chain feature just like the LA2A freebie was. I'm not complaining though for free. I have other options for 1176 or LA2A comps with that if I need it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the trouble for me. Ah, bummer. I've never has any issues. You probably already checked that your iLok account is the same that UAD has listed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude77 Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 UAD has really tossed out some great freebies lately. Thanks for the heads-up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not worth the trouble for me. If you check in the iLok Manager - looks like most of their plugins (unless there's been a recent update that changes this) will only authorize to iLok USB (2,3), or iLok Cloud. Note that, as shown, authorizing with iLok1 or directly on your computer is disabled.

I'd probably buy a few, but still a little skittish on the cloud auth. I'm using a laptop for my production and mixing so don't like the physical iLok. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starship Krupa Posted Sunday at 04:47 AM Share Posted Sunday at 04:47 AM Word of caution: the installer includes the "Universal Audio Helper Service," which is set to start automatically. I disabled it and the plug-in is still functional. And it is a pretty nice 1176 clone. I think at the moment, I have at least 5 services set to manual start that were originally installed by some plug-in manufacturer or other and invariably set to automatic start. Native Instruments (2X), Arturia, UA, Antares, Softube. Two more that I allow to run, the PACE service and Waves Local Server. None of the disabled services prevent the associated plug-ins from working, although most of the companies' installer programs will complain if they're not running. This seems silly to me. There are plenty of services on my systems that the programs that need them start on demand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have done a similar thing with the Native Instruments daemon service. Normally I set the service to Manual and stopped. I have made an Autohotkey script that open starts the daemon service and then runs Native access. It sets the daemon service to stopped when I exit Native access. The script also resets to state to manual if an update to Native access resets the service back to automatic. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mibby Posted Sunday at 01:40 PM Share Posted Sunday at 01:40 PM FYI, I just installed this last night. This is a stripped down Native version, like the LA-2A was/is and is a separate plugin from the ones in the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've stopped installing anything UAD since you have no control over their app. Sure you could delete it and still install their stuff. Their connect app has no options and starts up with Windows. BTW it is a complaint among users. I prefer not to deal with them. There's no shortage of 1176 emulations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's now become something to consider when deciding whether to buy (or keep in the case of freebies) software: how much crap does the installer shovel vs. the thing I actually want to use? I don't mind installing installation managers, but I won't allow services that aren't needed by the plug-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Promidi Posted Sunday at 08:01 PM Share Posted Sunday at 08:01 PM Even with Freebies, one has to decide if you really need it. In my case, my final decision to pass on the UAD 1176 freebie hinged on the fact that I have IK Multimedia’s Black 76 (part of Tracks 5) and Arturia’s Comp FET-76 (Both emulations of the The 1176 compressor).

Fleer Posted Sunday at 10:14 PM Share Posted Sunday at 10:14 PM In mine I tend to collect anything UAD I can get for peanuts or cheap, to use in Softube’s Console 1 Channel Mk3. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
