- How to sidechain compress audio with the RNC 1773 Audio Compressor.
Sorry about the audio - i forgot to check the levels going into the camera. Not to worry: i have other videos on this subject, and also how to use the Roland MX-1 as a form of "Pseudo Sidechain compression".

many thanks mate, I've been looking (and not finding) good info on sidechaining the RNC with my microphone from my mixer to duck the music. Your pictures were a big help and the steer on what leads to get hold of. You got me round the corner of understanding this a lot more.
cool - no worries😁
Rock musician, landed here looking at reviews for the RNC1773... Mind... Blown. Literally. Awesome!
ah - cool! Thanks for letting me know - Rock on...!
So, you only use the RNC to compress the kick drum sound, by separating it by its individual kick output and also using the same kick drum signal as a trigger.
Have you tried, or know how it could be configured in way that the RNC compresses the entire mix (including other sounds more than only the kick drum) via sidechain trigger according to the kick drum signal?
I am very interested in acquiring a compressor of this type to make the side chain. But I want to know if the RNC compressor have a ideal quality to compress the entire audio mix and, on the other hand, if it can use an input signal for trigger that does not have the kick drum as the only component. I have all the drums in one signal so I need a compressor that the triggers according to the range or spectrum of low frequencies associated with the kick (for example a volca drums, which has only 1 audio output)
Thanks for your video is really usefull
yes - it can do all of that - and i would say one of the best in this price range. It has a separate input for the sidechain control so u can route anything into the control (including voice - so when u talk it ducks your main audio out of the way like on radio shows). one limitation is that is not very fast which might not be ideal for House music - in some ways the Alesis 3630 is better for this as it pumps much harder and affordable 2nd hand units can still be found
@@TheInterGalacticFederation Thanks for yor answer , love your videos!!!
@@matiasjosequinterosglaves6567 in today's video i have the volca Beats going thru the Alesis 3630 compressor...uploading now...
Thanks for doing this. I have a similar setup & wanted an RNC for exactly the same reason. Cheers again.
Glad it helped
Seriously thinking about this compressor. Seems to be what I need... Thanks for sharing 🙏 oh and very nice jam by the way 😉
i think it's a good one to try. Done the track i might get some of the others in this price range to see what they can do... first got to pay for the new Roland System 500...
could you make a video about the BRC sequencer you're using? thanks
the Behringer BCR2000 running Zaquencer software? i have been usng the Beatstep Pro mainly but thinking i need to get the BCR out again - so yes - good idea thanks
I have the two types RNC and RNLA. What's your opinion? I dont know which one i should use for stereo master bus and which one for bass sidechaining.
i am not experienced with RNLA so cannot advise, but the RNC does sidechain and would also be good on the master channel.
What did you use to sequence everything. Love the use of compressed drone. I have have RNLA.
The master clock would be coming from the RC505 into a RK004 midi splitter. The Bass station2 has Latch and Arp on. It looks like i was using the Zaquencer in BCR200 too.
So, this still will do ducking/sidechain compression on a stereo output?
Like if I just had a stereo lead or synth or etc and just wanted a Drumbrute or Volca or whatever to punch some holes through the mix?
Just need a TRS cord? What about making it also serve partially as a limiter for hotter sources pre-audio interface *I can't afford a mixer yet and it's mostly minimal* Just curious thank
i don't know that it receives stereo to trigger the sidechain but it does sidechain compress the stereo audio in/out. i send the signal from just the left channel (mono) of the kick drum to trigger the sidechain.
Putting a fair few videos Dazza :) :)
Gotta put 'em somewhere... hoping to out-run the audience... "Are you NOT entertained...?!"
@@TheInterGalacticFederation :) :) always
Great stuff! Shock Electronix Luv's ya!
Ohhh and I See you have Monotron In Action.... maybe you will Eurorack-afy it.
thanks Matt - the Monotron is great - except when the batteries go flat :(
I'm having trouble getting my synth to pump like yours. Any tips? (sidechain is getting a kick from a volca kick)
can u post a video to demonstrate? u need a high ratio, fast attack and decay, with low threshold. You might have a problem with the cable - it has to split the RING and TIP out to different 6.3mm plugs.
@@TheInterGalacticFederation the ring =in and tip=out is the part thats confusing me. what do you mean by that
@@khoasome here is the cable i use: www.ebay.com.au/itm/323778814403
@@khoasome i will have check....i gt confused about that too and so i just plug it in different ways till it works... i think the tip goes into the RD8 and the main plug goes to the RNC1773
@@TheInterGalacticFederation do u keep yr super nice button on all the time? Yr settings are perfect.
do you mute the kick like you would in a daw?
no - i am using a separate out (the Kick's individual Output) for the sidechain, while the main stereo output of the RD8 takes the kick audio thru to the mixer so that it can still be heard.
i am making a demo video for you that will go up soon...
it's going to Premiere in a few minutes...
Have u ever tried the RNLA? #RNC
No. the 1773 is the only FMR gear i have used - looks interesting though, and i would like to have some more hardware dynamics processors at some point...
@@TheInterGalacticFederation Thanks! Keep up the great work.
