Hi,

I am confused about single output things such as mic's and the RNC comp I was about to buy - isn't it better to have their signal split into two by a compressor that has left and right outs? Why then, does such a compressor only have one out per channel?

bear with me,

thanks

Great, thanks a lot the penny has dropped!

I have a SE2200a condenser which is obviously mono, but I've been recording vocals through a Behringer compressor which can link two mono channels, which I guess splits the signal into two as you say, these then go to my soundcard/software - I take it there is no particular advantage to doing this (as that is not 'proper' stereo) and I may as well have been going through just the one of the channels on the Behringer.

I would rather go the software route - can you recommend a standalone compressor that's good for vocals/guitar?

I really appreciate this, it's been a hole in my knowledge that has been bugging me for a while.
