The FMR Audio Really Nice Compressor, or "RNC" as it is lovingly known, draws a thick line in the sand between what is "cheap" and what is simply "inexpensive." This tiny little stereo workhorse, originally introduced in the late 1990s, has found its place in both weekend-warrior bedroom studios and top control rooms thanks to its transparent compression and compact footprint. It would be a steal at three times the price, and should make a number of higher-cost compressors blush and get back to the gym.
