need a good cheap compressor

RNC!!!!

Or the RNC


If you want CHEAP....get an old DBX 163 off ebay for like 40 bucks. Not a lot of control but I regard it as the SM57 of compressors....it will work pretty well on almost anything.

Presets on a compressor?!
Wierd- of all the devices that I fiddle with knobs on, I like the idea of compression presets the least. Its such a knob-twiddling kind of thing...

hey Chris,

the presets are great for someone like me, who has destroyed things in the past with bad compression technique.. They give great starting points that can be further tweaked... I usually don't tweak them too much though... they seem to work well for me... It lets me worry less about the engineering side, and more about the performance end..

my 2 cents..... I'm sure it's worth less than that..
