Compressor/Limitor recommendations
Hi all
I'm building up a rack for recording sound for small video productions. I'd like to be able to connect a mic for interview type situations, but I also need a balanced stereo line input/output for live events where I'm given a feed from a desk. The recording device will be a minidisc deck with a balanced line in. Could any recommend a good compressor/limiter (or something else). In the past I've had problems with levels when recording (too busy focusing on the video side!) so I'd like something which I could pretty much just setup and leave running sorting the sound out itself. Budget is around £250 ($420). Regards Matt |

Budget is around £250 ($420). The FMR RNC (Really Nice Compressor) is capable of unobtrusive level control over a wide input range. You might even want to use two in series, with the first set at about 2:1 and a low threshold, and the second set at 8:1 and a high threshold, almost a limiter but less obvious. Mike T. |
