Published on 09/17/12 at 08:16Bomb Factory plug ins are made by Avid and you can download them free now for Pro Tools systems. The bomb Factory 1176 has been changed and is no longer called the 1176 it is now the BF76 and you will get top notch compression like the old 1176 had. It has a few key features that will make you wonder why it is now a free plug in. The clip remover will take audio clips that are recorded and will repair any recordings that are clipped. I find that crucial to some of the songs that I have to mix when some artist send me stuff they recorded at their own private home studio. Sometimes I get a lot of bad recordings coming and and I can just use the Bomb Factory 1176 clip remover to fix the problem and it does it automatically.
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
You can run 1176/BF76 on Mac systems as well as Windows Vista and Windows XP. I am not too sure if they have put out a Windows 7 driver update yet though. The software is very stable and has never crashed running it in Pro Tools 9. I have been using it for 2 years and never had a problem with it, I actually depend on 1176 for a lot of my projects now because of how good it works and how easy it is to use.
OVERALL OPINION
Bomb Factory 1176 has so many features that will keep you on your toes. One of my favorites is also the Tuner and the Mastererizer. The Mastererizer is a plug in with Lo Fi sound effects that can add some flavor. Bomb Factory (Avid) has made a complete kit with these plug ins and has also put them out free for Pro Tools users ( 96kHz sample rate only with Digi002 and 48kHz with Mbox). Before you consider using Bomb Factory make sure you take a run down on the specs to make sure everything with your Pro Tools and system is compatible. It is a masterpiece plug in and a must have for your arsenal.
