GAH... I totally forgot about that. I just looked at my RNC and you're right :-P It has an LED meter like so: +----- gain reduction ------+ 20 16 12 8 6 4 2 0 * * * * * * * * I could swear I remember seeing an old tube compressor that had a gain reduction meter with "more" to the right, so it moved in opposition to the corresponding VU meter. No idea what model it was, and this was about 6 years ago so I could be mistaken. I wonder how consistent this is in the world of hardware? maybe I'll pop a question on rec.audio.pro. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com
