Can any one offer some ball park settings for recording a female vovalist through the RNC. I'll be using a Rode NT1 microphone.

Vocal style - definitely not a screamer , very mellow delivery, alto range.

Thanks.
 
Adjust preamp gain so you have plenty of gain into your recorder/soundcard, but leave some headroom.
Set the RNC to really nice mode, start with medium attack and release, I use a ratio of 4:1 or 6:1.
I compress 4 to 6 dB when recording, and when mixing I sometimes use it lightly again, or for a "modern-in your face"sound: 10:1 ratio, fast attack and release, and may compress up to 10-12 dB.
