Well just to let everyone know, last night again when connecting the 428 to rnc through inserts, it distorted again on vocals when I sang loud. I give up. I am using the analog compressor in the Korg 32xd now and that works just fine. BLAHHHHHHH! :evil:

I think its one hell of a compressor, and its cheap as hell.

Hey guys.I have the much hyped (for good reasons) RNC in my rack.So I strapped it across my main mix inserts to get more juice off the mixes. I am in super nice mode to get that triple compression thing. Is it me or there is no way to get usable boost off this box for my mixes, without hearing it pump.I tried every configuration I can think of.

In about a week and a half I will be hooking up my MQ3 Pre and my FMR Really Nice Compressor to my Aardvark Q10.

I am looking for any advise, guidance, auggestions, experiences from users who have used either the meek or the rnc with a Q10.

Here is my quick plan.

I just picked up a used VT-737sp (for a song).

I have been testing it for only two days, but honestly, I am having a hard time seeing a marked increase in quality over my usual "channel strip" of the Speck MicPre 5.0>Speck ASC EQ>RNC.

I just got an RNC, and I'm not sure how to set it up. The manual explicitly says you can't use it in a balanced signal path with TRS connectors. You must "unbalance" the signal first.

My plan was to use it in the balanced insert loop on my PreSonus MP20 pre. The outs (balanced) of the MP20 then go into the inserts on my mixer in order to bypass the mixer's pres.

I'm thinking of getting the really nice compressor and then the pre-amp because they are affordable. I just wanted to know if anybody had anything to say about them.
Thanks, Beau

Hi all--

First post, so hello.

I just got rid of my dbx 286A which got replaced by a used Joemeek VC1Qcs and a new RNC. I wanted more control over the compression for guitars, and vocal tracking.

I know that the RNC compressor from FMC has a huge (almost) cult following, and is considered "the steal" of the industry.

I just bought a Really Nice Compressor. I want to use it with my Studio Projects VTB-1 mic preamp.

The RNC instructions say:
Hooking up the RNC to balanced lines with TRS 1/4" plugs will not work! If the equipment you are connecting the RNC to is balanced, you must first unbalance it and only connect into the RNC with TR 1/4" plugs.
