6/1/2023 0 Comments Rnc stereo master compressorFor recording it is just a great tool to have on hand and for live the relatively low cost makes it an option for me to take it on the road.įor live sound reinforcement, I have an RNC inserted on the stereo bus and another one inserted on the kick drum. I end up using the RNC for both live work and studio work. They stand up very well among other classics like the DBX 160 or an APHEX Compellor, but they are all different and all have their own uses and place in my racks of gear. I own a fairly decent collection of different compressors, including four RNCs. These are the only two cons I can possibly find. It comes with a US$200 price tag, but at that price you'll have to accept unbalanced audio connections and a wall wart power supply. This is arguably the best deal ever in the world of recording equipment! It sounds AWESOME! Try this in both Normal Mode and Really Nice Mode. That means that the gain reduction is up to around 20dB. ratio of 1:8, fast release, adjust attack to taste and threshold to a compression of around 10dB's. Just pour in the ambience track into channel one, output of channel one goes directly into the input of channel two. There is one thing that the RNC does better than anything else. It loves drums too, but I tend to favor more colored and aggressive units for this purpose. For instance combined with a 1176 on vocals or electric guitars. I have used it as main buss compressor with great results. ![]() In "Really Nice Mode", according to the manual, the RNC daisychains three compressors in order to achieve what is just about the most transparent auto-leveling control in a piece of audio gear that will fit normal deadly peoples wallets. In use that is just about the only problem I have encountered with this model. The release distorts the low frequencies. It is very fast and snappy on drums and just about everything else you throw at it - except bass. In "normal mode" it is a pretty standard analog compressor with adjustable, ratio, threshold, attack, release and make up gain. ![]() The RNC has two modes Normal and Really Nice. The retail price for one stereo unit is as low as 200 bucks! racktrays for 2 RNC's (or other FMR audio products) are available from Funk Logic, but even 3 units will fit in a single blank 1U tray. It is a stereo (no dual mono) compressor in a 1/3 unit size. ![]() The RNC aka Really Nice Compressor is one of the most discussed pieces of audio equipment ever - and for at very good reason!
