Whats good about the RNC is its a *very* transparent compressor. You dont use one of these if you want "character", its not coloured at all. But thats a GOOD thing. You have a daw, theres plenty of options for colour in the box. What this DOES give you is the ultimate in gain and dynamics control. Stick it between your pre and your interface and you'll end up with the ultimate toolkit for controlling your dynamics and gain. I love my RNC.
But he is using it on the vocal you are listening to the entire time. You can hear him changing settings from soft to crushed at some point. How did you miss it?
Are u going into the heat and then rnc? I like the combo used rather softly while playing. When recording i go from the mixer/interface fx send into heat into rnla into rnc and back into the mixer. Most of the time i use only one fmr but sometimes i like giving it distortion/filter envelope with the heat, fatten it up, sidechain or parallel compress with the rnla and then shape it and maybe give it some breathing with the rnc. A nice combo for sure!
Thanks man 🙌 I got some new video ideas that I’m working on that are a little different from what I’m used to doing and I know you guys will enjoy em. Stay tuned
@@TzoHill it's awesome on vocals. i have more hardware compressors Tube Tech CL1b, Teletronix LA2A, Distressor, Pro VLA 2, dgx 160, but the FMR RNC for the Money it cannont be beat, i've had mine for about 11 years i also have more stuff from FMR RNP, FMR RNL, FMR PBC. trust me get it you wont regret it
@@LeyendaProductions wow you've got some amazing hardware would love to have a distressor but out of my budget unfortunately. Is the FNC better then the DBX160 you think cos was looking at that also?
So, with this thing.. do you have to run your mic with an XLR to TRS (1/4) into the RNC 1773 and then a TRS from there to XLR into the interface? or is it just a mix bus compressor?
The "really nice" mode changes the detector from simply doing peak detection to mixing in some RMS and averaging in the detection, meaning it won't be as snappy and it'll be a bit more even, not that this is always the best option, since it means more quick thing will slip through that you might want to control with the compressor. I think I'll buy some of these (and the RNLA version), but I was wondering: What happens if you drive the input into the compressor a bit? How does it distort? Does it sound nice?
Hi! I'm using unbalanced ins & outs, but would like to pair the RNC with an RNP via the "Insert" jacks with Y-Cables. Could you make a tutorial on that please?
I pare my RC500 with the Warm Audio tone beast =Awesomeness Also if you ever get the chance demo the WA 87 from warm audio I never brought another mic since.
Could you please make a video to tell us how to connect this FMR RNC 1773 to an old audio interface such as Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 or Focusrite Saffire Pro 24 DSP or any other Focusrite audio interface or RME audio interface? What kinds of cables do we need? How to connect? We really appreciate you very much!
Ok I know I b buggin u. But I’m literally looking at this compresssor but I’m also looking at the wa-67. Do you think I should jst buy this one or would the wa-67 be worth paying like double. It’s just for vocals.
are you talking about the 1176 by wa? honestly, you'd probably benefit from using the RNC before the wa. not to say the warm audio is bad, just the rnc is way more versatile. I've been testing it out a lot lately and figuring out just how good it is
0:12 "Most versatile low cost compressor on the market".... 1:22 "I'm not impressed with the packaging"..... You realise how this works right? It's not very logical to celebrate the RNC's low price while asking them to spend more on .... *packaging*?
I have the Art Pro MPA ii going into my Apollo twin duo, how would I hook this up before hitting the Apollo? I know the Apollo has balanced inputs but this compressor has unbalanced ones. Any ideas?
Hi, nicely exlained. I just have a laptop, some Alesis monitors and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, so my mics go into the Scarlett.... where does this come in? Thanks!
You want to use the L and R outs of your Scarlette. Then going straight into RNC L and R inputs. From RNC's outputs signal goes into your Scarlette mic preamps. Use the Loop back function on your Scarlette software mixer to be able to reamp and use it for outbord mixing effect.
Just a general question for all upcoming videos: Could you add the correct name of the analog device in the description? It makes it way easier to find cause I am not so familiar with the names.
Thanks man. I bought mine on eBay and shortly after they sold out. I think they may still be on b&h? If not you may have to wait until someone sells theirs on the used market
nice video. i own the RNC and love it. might get a second one for true stereo use -- a single unit only allows joint stereo, not independent "double mono", unfortunately -- so it won't be ideal for many applications. regarding the video itself -- please fix the audio sync! was driving me nuts :) and it's also super-weird to watch you from the side, just looking at a screen. maybe try recording from more of an angle, or actually look into the camera from time to time?
"Nobody knows about" Well, except like everyone whose ever recorded anything for the last 20+years. FMR RNC has been in the same category as things like the Rode NT1, SM57s, mackie small format mixers, Joe Meek (RIP) channel strips since the mid 90s: the most ubiquitous, low-priced, absurd value-for-money production gear available, which you could routinely find anywhere from Guitar Center to local pawn shops.
Nobody knows about? It's been around for over 20 years and has been applauded by just about everyone.
True. I own RNLA since 2009.
Hahaha

Titel update: A compressor I didn’t knew about but definitely need.
Wow that compressor *SOUNDED* so great! I wish I *HEARD* it!
😂
🤣
But he is using it on the vocal you are listening to the entire time. You can hear him changing settings from soft to crushed at some point. How did you miss it?
A FMR RNC 1773 and an Elektron Analog Heat Mk2 are at the end of my audio chain (Modular rig). I could NOT live without these 2 pieces of hardware.
Are u going into the heat and then rnc?
I like the combo used rather softly while playing. When recording i go from the mixer/interface fx send into heat into rnla into rnc and back into the mixer.

I waited 3 months for the PBC 6A . Love FMR but it is a small company so it takes a while.
quality on the channel stay going up
Appreciate you 🙌
Great Video! I can see your growth as a UA-camr. Keep up the good work. Your B- Roll was money.
Thanks man 🙌 I got some new video ideas that I’m working on that are a little different from what I’m used to doing and I know you guys will enjoy em. Stay tuned
That has been one of my favorite compressors for so many years now. i love it
So I'm looking to buy this, has this been your only compressor hardware you've used? Also do you use it to track vocals or?
@@TzoHill it's awesome on vocals. i have more hardware compressors Tube Tech CL1b, Teletronix LA2A, Distressor, Pro VLA 2, dgx 160, but the FMR RNC for the Money it cannont be beat, i've had mine for about 11 years i also have more stuff from FMR RNP, FMR RNL, FMR PBC. trust me get it you wont regret it

04:36 you can really hear room reverberation coming forward because of the high squeezed ratio. good job
I've had one of these for a long time. I need to pull it out again. 😎
The comment about the packaging though. Likes the shiny lures. That’s why it’s reasonably priced.
So, with this thing.. do you have to run your mic with an XLR to TRS (1/4) into the RNC 1773 and then a TRS from there to XLR into the interface? or is it just a mix bus compressor?
Did you find out how to do it? Its my first time buying some hardware and I’m confused as well
@@ogpablo8752 you have to use an XLR to TRS cable
From my understanding, if you want to record your mic with the compression on the way in, you need a mic pre before hitting the compressor.
There was no music in this video ? it did a count down but nothing played, was looking forward to hearing this thing in action.
puuuurchased, just the video i was looking for
My best purchase of 2021.
I have one was thinking of getting a higher end comp but after ur video I'd rather use this n concentrate on making good music then lust over gears..
How do i route this? I have a isa one, klark teknik eq. Rnc 1773.

Would you use this for a buss comp or warm buss comp
Hi! I'm using unbalanced ins & outs, but would like to pair the RNC with an RNP via the "Insert" jacks with Y-Cables.
Could you make a tutorial on that please?
You should try the presonus RC 500 channel strip you'll love it if you're able to get your hands on one.
I’ll look into it man!

Ypu should do a compare to your kt-2a
LOL. This has been around for awhile Bud and anybody who actually knows what their doing knows about this.
Hello, great video, can I have a link
To this product
mm..sounds great...oh wait.
bro dis man can sell water to a fish
Ok I know I b buggin u. But I’m literally looking at this compresssor but I’m also looking at the wa-67. Do you think I should jst buy this one or would the wa-67 be worth paying like double. It’s just for vocals.

@@UndergroundSoundProductions Bett bro that’s what I figured. Imma cop one for sure. Make sure u drop a part 2 for us!
0:12 "Most versatile low cost compressor on the market"....
1:22 "I'm not impressed with the packaging".....
You realise how this works right? It's not very logical to celebrate the RNC's low price while asking them to spend more on .... *packaging*?
So... Super Nice = Soft knee?
what are you looking at
Think they stopped been unknown once Steve albini started raving about them
I have the Art Pro MPA ii going into my Apollo twin duo, how would I hook this up before hitting the Apollo? I know the Apollo has balanced inputs but this compressor has unbalanced ones. Any ideas?
Don't overthink it, plug line out Art Pro MPA 2 into In on RNLA, then come out to Apollo using TRS cable.
Done.
Hi, nicely exlained. I just have a laptop, some Alesis monitors and a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2, so my mics go into the Scarlett.... where does this come in? Thanks!
You want to use the L and R outs of your Scarlette. Then going straight into RNC L and R inputs. From RNC's outputs signal goes into your Scarlette mic preamps. Use the Loop back function on your Scarlette software mixer to be able to reamp and use it for outbord mixing effect.

Yes I will include it in the description
@@UndergroundSoundProductions Thank you man helps me a lot ^^
do you just connect it to your interface with xlrs ?
Hi, great video, Where did you buy this compressor ?
Thanks man. I bought mine on eBay and shortly after they sold out. I think they may still be on b&h? If not you may have to wait until someone sells theirs on the used market
how would you hook this up to an audient id4??
nice video. i own the RNC and love it. might get a second one for true stereo use -- a single unit only allows joint stereo, not independent "double mono", unfortunately -- so it won't be ideal for many applications.
regarding the video itself -- please fix the audio sync! was driving me nuts :) and it's also super-weird to watch you from the side, just looking at a screen. maybe try recording from more of an angle, or actually look into the camera from time to time?
What’s your choice between Klark Teknic and Really Nice Comp?
RNC all day
would you recommend a RNC or the dbx 266xs that you got?
RNC, hands down.
You never "squashed" the audio in this video. Lol. 🤦♂️
Many people know about this compressor. It's not unknown thing.
Nobody knows about?? What an idiotic idea. EVERYBODY knows about it man, it's been here for decades, probably before you were born! Hello?? Hello???
