I've made the transition to laptop recording from DAT reasonably
successfully, but there are still occasions when I would like to use my RNC
as an end-of-the-chain hard limiter for the final 0.1dB of input signal
after my Mackie VLZ Pro and before my stereo Echo Indigo IO soundcard.
That's not a particularly good application for the RNC. It's not that
hard and it's not that fast. If you're trying to get to 0.1 dB of full
scale, it's best to use a digital tool. Leave yourself a couple of dB
of headroom going into the Indigo card and wipe out the dynamic range
once you get into the computer. Unless you're working at 8-bit
resolution, peak levels a few dB below full scale won't hurt a bit.
I don't want any compression
effects/artifacts....just a final safety limiter on the incoming mix.
The best way to do this is to manually adjust the output level of the
mixer that's feeding the sound card. Really.
