Right, I've now got a working studio and have been pumping stuff out. And I've realised that I need a compressor. More than I need a VA, or anything else shiny, I need a compressor, to beef up old drumloops and the powerful drum samples, and generally make the mix a bit nicer.

Problem: very low budget. I've heard good things about the Behringer (you know, the composer pro, £76 from DV), there's a guy nearby selling a Nanocompressor for £60 (but I might haggle down - sadly no mono operation tho), or should I just save for the RNC?

I know it's what I need. I just don't have much budget.

I'm pretty satisfied with the TC-Electronics TripleC multiband comp., 199 euro's.

For the price, you could grab two RNC's, and run each mono individually if you want to run it like that. Why get one, when you can get two. You'll ALWAYS be using them, I assure you.

you can get a funk logic faceplate that ties 2 RNCs into one rack unit.

here's a link to 2 fmr's and a faceplate for US$380.

Are those RNC's that good. I see them mentioned all the time, but have never heard them. Are they similar in sound to anything else I may have heard. Like dbx160?

guess that you wouldnt go for anything which doesnt sound like something else you already heard, eh? ;)

never had a chance to try rnc myself. dbx160 rocks for transparent compression, aye! you can just pile up the gain reduction and not notice anything. wicked.

Damballah,
you got that one right. That face plate is such a hoot. Too damn funny. GOTTA get one along with two more RNC's.


Brett,

let your ears decide. I could talk myself blue, and it says nothing next to hearin the units. Try one. I use them, and I'm a picky bastard. There's not much more I can say beyond that.

Well the reason i ask, is because I haven't seen them at the dealers around here but then again i wasn't really looking. I loved the dbx160. I am looking to get some sort of warmer front end for vocals and synths. I am looking at everything under $500. The RNC's are pretty cheap too huh? Definatly try and find a dealer around here and run some stuff through it.
