I am getting ready to do some post processing on a LOT of voice-only

a LONG shot. Way to go, Mark!

I just sold my RNC. Nice GR control performance, but even looping through
the box with *no* GR lost a lot of sparkle. Things got dull and "dark"
sounding. (Sorry to use that word, but it's fairly accurate.) Even the
"bypass" setting didn't seem to help.

Perhaps the i/o ciruits are a bit on the cheap. Maybe the thing
could be tweaked, but I didn't what to take the time.

I did find a used DBX1066. If you don't hit it too hard it can be quite
effective and transparent. And while there is some sonic loss just
looping
through with no GR, it's nowhere nearly as noticeable as the RNC.

As always, YMMV.

Interesting. When I measured the RNC a few years ago, it was flat, out
to around 200kHz - and that was with 6dB of gain reduction.

Strange indeed. Could it have been an interfacing problem, by any chance?
