Can anyone give me some info on a good quality, versatile compressor that doesn't cost more than 1500?
Massive Master said:That's narrows it down to about 1,000 different units - Can you get more specific with the use by any chance?
Especially if you're in the used market - Empirical Labs, Langevin, Avalon, Chandler...
Mono or stereo?

Is this common in compressors? With the RNC being stereo, you must either run a signal in stereo or just one through one channel? Am I understanding this right?Ronan said:A stereo compressor will compressor two channels of audio "linked" in a way that maintains the stereo imaging. a signal in one channel that passes the compressor threshold will attenuate both channels.
Dual mono implies that you can run each channel independantly each with their won controls and threshold. for instance sending a vocal into channel A with its own compression settings and a bass into channel B with its own settings. The RNC will not do this.
Thanks Massive Master I thought it seemed just a bit odd but your insight makes sense.Massive Master said:You understand it right - No, it's not common. In FMR's case, I would imagine it was a judgement call to put out the most bang-for-the-buck.
