ive had the Great River hooked up with the fmr using the patch jack.

but now where does the voiceworks go?

and what wiring do i need and how to hook it up? :confused:

I'm relatively new when it comes to external gear and routing so help would be greatly appreciated!

hey all

looking at these 2 compressors.

FMR more expensive but i've heard its worth the money. the dbx i hear is no a frills work-horse. will be using either one primarily for tracking though i plan to experiment with mastering in the future.

any opinions, comments suggestions?

thanks!

I'm assuming this is set up is going to sound way better than PreSonus firepod I've been using. I was just wondering if anybody has any experience with any of these pieces of gear? I did a search, but I couldn't find anything really good. I know I'm going to have to learn how to use Pro Tools, but I've heard it's very user friendly.. so we'll see!

I noticed that my Brick has a balanced output but the FMR RNC needs an unbalanced input!

How do I handle this? Can I "unbalance" the line before it hits the RNC?

Out of curiousity I tried going into the FMR RNC with a balanced cable anyway and it works but there is some hum. It's also pretty low level and I have to crank up both the Brick and the RNC to get decent levels.

I was planning on buying one of each, but now I'm wondering how dramatic the difference is between them. I get the impression that the RNLA is just a more colorful version of the RNC, but maybe I'm wrong. Any thoughts?

just brought home a new Really Nice Compressor. plugged my bass into it then into a bass pre into my amp. first way i'll use it, so tried that first. whenever compression is triggered i hear what sounds like digital distortion. it is connected to left (mono) in and left out by 1/4'' instrument cables. do i return it or am i to blame? thanks.

I'm currently in need of a budget hardware compressor. I already have a dbx 160A and find it to be useful. But now I'm in need of another channel of hardware compression. I'm not sure if I should get another 160 or try something else. The only other quality comp I see for a good price is the RNC 1773.

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.
