This is an absolute staple for me when mixing things like vocals, drums , bass , and especially using parallel compression . The 1176 is a little bit tricky to fully grasp at first because of the backwards knob settings . Whereas on most compressors 1 would be the fastest and 7 would be the slowest (in relation to attack and release times), it’s

Compression : With claps, same as with kicks, snares and other drums , we set the attack time of the compressor to occur right after the attack time of the clap to enhance the punch of the sound.This is often somewhere between 6 and 20 milliseconds.
