a friend of mine just bought a rode ntk valve mic..very nice ..he is about to get a new soundcard possibly usb definately 24\96khz..however does he need a compressor on the way (will only be recording vocals) or should he just record at the high rate and not worry about overload -- sorry what is the dynamic range of a 24 bit card??...SteveG has recommended the RNC really nice compressor!!..i looked it up and it certainly has fantastic reviews ..infact everyone rave about it..It's just that the sound card (edirol ua700) my friend might be getting has a compressor built in ...he only wants to record vocals ..how much better is the rnc to a built in effect on a sound card ( the card looks pretty gimmicky - yet is half the price of the pc version of digidesigns' MBOX)..he is either going to get the http://www.edirol.com.au/OneProduct.asp?prod=UA700 or the
http://edirol.com.au/OneProduct.asp?prod=UA5 and maybe the RNC ...but like i said do you need to compress the recorded siganl when you record at 24/96 ? Dumq question i know but i dont know !

thankyou - nathan
