Can anyone recommend some rule of thumb calibration methods, initial
settings and whether to use Super Nice or Normal mode for this
quite-specific purpose. I don't want any compression
effects/artifacts....just a final safety limiter on the incoming mix.
Thanks for your advice,
Ray


First, the RNC is not a brick wall limiter and doesn't function extremely well
in that capacity. However, it does work well as a final buss compressor.

I've had some good results with:

Mode: Normal
Attack: 3-5
Release: 4-6
Ratio: 10:1 up to max
Set the threshold so the gain reduction is no more than 2-3 on the LEDS.
Remember, one LED is 10 db at a 10:1 ratio.
Rule of thumb: If you can hear it, it's too much.

Good luck
