Mark McQuilken??
Jim Kountz
McQuilken's contribution to the RAP 3 times CD set and wanted to know if
anyone knows how I could get in touch with him about acquiring more of his
music. Oh yeah the song was titled "Truth" its on CD #4. Excellent vocals
and fantastic lyrics. Or so I thought anyway!
Thanks everyone,
Jim
PS While noticing a trend here in RAP I decided to drop my "alias" I never
really liked it anyway. The names Jim, nice to know you folks.

Same here!!!! Wow! I love that song. I just got my RAP Three Times
set a few days ago ( thanks Harvey! :-) and I hadn't listened to it yet.
I saw this post tonight and I was very interested to hear Mark's work,
not only because he makes a highly regarded compressor but because he
seems like a genuinely nice and intelligent guy with a great sense of
humor. Well, I was very pleasantly surprised!! The writing, execution
and recording are all a joy to listen to. It got me all excited and
inspired! ( and a little annoyed because his song was keeping me from
getting my own stuff done in my studio, I think he made his song that
good just to keep people like me from getting any recordings done! I
was 'forced' to listen to Truth 7 or 8 times! ;-)
Excellent job Mark!!!

Seeing as I have him working night and day on the RNMP, let me save him a
minute by answering that question for you. It's not. The Mic-Pre is almost
done, then it'll either be an equalizer or "pro version" of the RNC.
There is another unit that is about as close to an RNEQ as anything I could
have imagined, that's the ASC equalizer from Speck Electronics...

In addition to Mark's contribution, we also have killer cuts on the r.a.p.
compilation set from other manufacturer/engineers:
John Le Grou, Millennia Media
Mike Fuller, Fulltone Pedals
Robert Orban, Orban Products
Stephen Paul, SPAudio
And next year's set will have an entry from George Massenburg (GML), Karl
Winkler (Neumann), and possibly Dan Kennedy (Great River) and Brent Casey (MXL).
I doubt if EveAnna's wrist will heal in time to include any saxophone tracks
from her. Rather than push her publicly to include a track before her hand is
completely better, I am urging her to practice "safe sax" and wait till her
wrist is back to normal before trying to send in a musical track.

Do I understand from this that you already have tracks in hand for next year's
compilation? or just commitments? or are these "just not in time" for R3T?
If they're that far ahead, I better get on the stick. I promised you some *real*

They are just "commitments" right now. No tracks till we're ready to go on the
next set and that won't be for a while, since half the sets are still unsold.

Good Call! I picked up a pair of the ASC equalizers from Vince and have been

Hey, what's this thread with my name? If this is about the RNEQ, it's
still in the works with the MicPre getting my current attention. IMHO,
you can't go wrong with the ASC...it's clean, sounds *great*, is a
bargain AND even looks good!
As for the RNMP, I'll be announcing feature-set and performance details
soon. The concept behind it is similar to the RNC: accurate, sounds
good, is affordable and will provide 1/3 of an eventual "voice channel"
in a single rack space.
Cheers!

Jay,
Mark didn't actually tell me the size, but it makes sense to use the same metal
work if possible from a cost-efficient production standpoint. It also makes
sense for him to use an external power supply to avoid the expensive
certification rituals in L.A., the U.S., and Canada.

Jay,
I thought Mark said he was making a small mono and a larger dual unit. I may
have said 1/2 rack, but it would make more sense to use his existing 1/3 design
- I know I would if I were him.

Hey Harvey,
thanks for the invite.
I have only been recorded playing bari sax on one record back in our
live-to-2-track days...
But I play trumpet too, so if someone can hold it up for me (left hand
task), I can do the valves...
oh i forgot I haven't played trumpet in 12 years! embrochure? what
embrochure?
My trumpet-playing career is documented in the December 1, 1986 issue of
Sports Illustrated in an article about the wonderful Columbia University
football team, the one that went four years without winning and broke all
losing streak records.
I just posted that picture at:
http://www.manleylabs.com/galleria/cumb.html
It's funny, there is an ad in the middle of the article for "When you buy an
Apple II, you're buying an Apple, too!"
What I could do for ya is rev the engine on my FXLR (right hand task).
Actually it is currently parked in my studio. Hmmmmmm........

Gee, are you sure about that? My wife was a cheerleader for the MIT football
team...yes, MIT has a football team...how silly is that?. I don't think they've
managed to win a game yet!! My favorite cheer they did was when the other team
scored a touchdown (which was early and often) it went: "That's all right,

yeah I'm sure. Columbia had the record for consecutive losses in real
division I football
(if you still consider the Ivies as real football):
AP Wire October 8, 1988
Columbia, an NCAA Division I-AA team,
broke the Division I record of 34 straight
defeats set by Northwestern.
The only NCAA losing streak longer than
Columbia's 44 was 50 by Macalester College,
a Division III school in St. Paul, Minn.,
which did not win from 1974 to 1980.

Yeah but columbia never played those incredible pranks that MIT used
to pull during the Harvard Yale games. Like when they inflated that

forever to level the playing field<g>.

How would you know what incredible pranks we pulled or never pulled? I guess
you have never been inside the Columbia University Marching Band room
before...
I'll assure you there were plenty, enough to get us kicked out of various
stadiums when things went wrong... oops. I'll just say this, thank you to
the bus driver who stopped when we asked him to on the NJ Turnpike and
allowed us to climb up on the roof of the bus. Uhm, waitaminute, sorry, the
cheerleaders kept him distracted while we climbed up on the top of the bus
on the NJ turnpike...

RNC PRO!!! Please please please please please!!!
The Speck ASC is taking care of the really truly excellent EQ that costs
many times less than what it's worth... let it have the spotlight for a
while. Concentrate on the pro version of the RNC, and by the time you
get around to the EQ we'll be bored with the ASC and looking for
something new!
Did I mention that I'd like to buy a pro version of the RNC? If not,
lemme share my wish list (in order of priority, highest first):
- balanced I/O
- internal power supply
- rack-mount chassis
- +4dBu nominal operating level (0 is pretty close and I can guess why
you chose it, but as long as we're wishing...)
Things that might be nice, but only if they don't drive up the price too
much because they're not terribly important to me:
- sidechain inputs
- split dual channel operation in addition to linked stereo
Thanks 1,000,000 Mark! I'm looking forward to this one!

!!! Absolutely !
I'd like to add:
- hard relay bypass (unit still passes audio after losing power)
- some kind of memory for the push buttons (so it wakes up in the mode
it was in before the power went away)
(... and maybe throw in a couple of gates for good measure. ...or a
limiter which would certainly find it's fans among IEM users. ... or
maybe make the metering switchable in/out/gain red. ...)

inexpensive but highly capable brick-wall type limiter. I mean the RNC is a
beautiful compressor, and a Pro version would be nice, but I really do miss
having a serious external limiter just for catching peaks. I currently use
the RNC for that and it does a pretty good job, but occasionally some peaks
still sneak through on certain instruments. I just need something with an
attack that is as fast as technology allows on a hardware based limiter,
along with as much transparency as possible. A RNL could also be used as a
broadcast limiter perhaps...maybe something based on the RNC that would give
fairly transparent limiting. Just an idea...

In high school I was drum major for 3 years. Played my pre WWII Selmer bari

In college, I mostly played trumpet although if the weather was bad, I

Another addition to the wish list, lets have a multi channel RNL in a 1U

Once, in 9th grade, the concert band had to march during a parade. I played
flute. They gave
me this paddle to stick under my arm that extended forward and had music on a
little stand bobbing somewhere out in front of my nose. I never felt like

Look in the used shops. ART used to make one. So did Symetrix and both of them
pop-up used for very little cash if you can find one. As a matter of fact, I
think I know where a Symetrix lives. If anyone is interested drop me a line and
I'll put in contact with the party that I think still has one for sale.
I'd dig an RNC Pro. +4, two channels, internal power supply etc. but leave the
gates and all the other shit out. That's what adds to the cost of it. I don't
think the world needs an RNG (gate) because it's hard to beat a DS201 or Aphex
622 and they don't cost that much anyway.

Geez, that's rough. Since I started this thread I should probably mention what
I did.
I was a marching band "manager" which was a nice name for "bitch" or "roadie".
I played guitar for all four years of high school jazz band but I didn't play a
marching band instrument. But, this girl I was dating was in the marching band
and was always busy with practice and football games. Sooooo....

Personally I think gates suck. Tried them, don't like them. There is
always bleed from other instruments on the gated channel and you can
hear the gain changing (of the unintended track) everytime the gate
kicks on and off.
This is especially true when trying to gate drum tracks. In fact this is
true when compressing individual drum tracks as well, but the effect is
not as noticable as when gating.
As far as the RNC-pro, I would like to see a 2 rack, 8 channel pre into
compressor. Unbalanced would be fine for me as I am going into my
MSR-24S. Maybe another rack of balancing converters optional?

I'll agree with you. I'll usually gate vocals and sometimes a kick. Other then
that I expand. That way you get most of the good parts of gating without the
bad parts.

Reading these reminded me of my last experience with my high school
marching band. (They wouldn't let you be in the orchestra without
putting up with marching and playing at football games.)
Anyway, I was a senior, and I had discovered the wonders of the herb
that summer, the summer of 68. So I decided hell, this is the last
freekin game, I'm getting wrecked.
So just before halftime, I grabbed my best pal ostensibly to go to the
bathroom, & we went under the stands and got wasted. In our freekin
band uniform and big hats. What a laugh. We mosey on back barely in
time to head down with everyone beyond the goal post to line up for the
halftime extravaganza (right).
As a senior I was the guy on the right end of the row, who is the
person everyone in that row has to follow & stay in step with. The
half ends, the players exit, and on we go. I'm in the last row. I stop
us at the 35 yard line exactly as we practiced that week. I watch a the
row in front of us does NOT stop at the 40 yard line. The entire band,
majorettes & cheerleaders just keep going. Damn what a sight, them just
marchin and marchin further and further away, the sound of them getting
softer & softer and us just standing there. Still brings a chuckle
outta my mouth.
Seems while my pal and I were away, the band director told everyone to
march all the way down the field & turn around and them do the
formation coming back. Lucky me, as I was getting three earsfull about
it after we got off the field, I coulda cared less.
Oh ya, there was one freekin good reason to be in marching band back
then. Majorettes! They was all incredibly cute and their tiny little
skirts barely covered their panties. Somebody say Amen!

Same for me. 'Cept it was a 'flugabone': Basically, a marching trombone
with valves. Looked like a XXL trumpet.
Bass in the jazz ensemble as well.
It beat the hell out of sitting in study hall with Chuck, Porterhouse, and
Ribeye.

That's what gates are for. When you want that effect, you want gates.
If you don't want that effect, don't use gating.

The RNC does that now. You can shoot the wallwart and still get signal

OK, since everyone is "outing" themselves...alto sax, marching band,
concert band; keyboards and guitar in jazz band.
Oh...and...uh...drum major...cough, cough...
My senior year, we had a big pep rally on the football field. The entire
school of 2500 people occupied the stands. During the pep rally, they
had a "Battle of the Classes" where each grade selected 5 people to push
VW Bugs around the track in a race. The jazz band played on the infield
near the finish line. Well, as the sophomore class came in, they
suddenly lost control of their "steed" and it plowed into the midst of
the band. No one was injured but a few of the old band instruments were
beyond repair.
I have never heard cheering like that since.

I guess I missed that, since I don't even own one. I haven't yet found
a way to make an RNC, a power supply, and two Isomax units fit tidily
into 1U. It's possible, but it's messy.
My point was simply to pass along my priorities to Mark. If he's
building a new version, the sidechain input falls into the "handy,
useful, but not absolutely critical" category for MY applications. I
don't mean to imply that it's superfluous, just that it's lower on my
list of priorities.
I haven't read this whole thread yet, but I'd like to mention that I do
NOT feel the need to add brickwall limiters or any of the other extras
people have mentioned. The RNC is a damn nice compressor, let's leave
it at that. There's no reason for it to become the Really Nice
Everything But The Kitchen Sink. All I want is to be able to integrate
the existing circuit into a "pro" plant without having to kludge. That
means easy rack mounting, a built-in power supply with IEC connector,
and +4 balanced I/O. Those changes will add significantly to the price
all on their own. Anything else will just drive it up even further.

Plpffff. You band dorks can have 'em. The football players (the reason
you guys had an audience in the first place) got the cheerleaders.
At least the quarterback did. Now that I think about it, they never
really seemed all that interested in us guys who made up the O-line...
Hey, where do I get me one of them brass blowey things?

Welcome to MY world. I played center. Most nose tackles are about the
same size, shape and weight as a VW, and I got run over by them fifty
times a game. No band instruments were damaged, but there were some
injuries...

btw, Funk Logic offers a nice little rack for two RNC's. I'm waiting for

nice to offer a balanced upgrade, for all of Mr. McQuiken fine equipment.

This is funny. Back in the day, in my own private Idaho (North Carolina),
we had a huge, kickass, marching band that won the national title twice in a
row.
Now I know that this is Twilight Zone material with the band being bigger
than the football team stuff. But it was true (at least then). We chose to
actually play competitions on weekends instead of running our show at the
football games. *Gasp*.
Anyway, half the ticket buyers would leave after the halftime show when we
*did* play. We got police escorts, tour busses, tons of media coverage,
excused absences from class, etc... And did this piss off the cheerleaders
and the sports dept??? You betcha', boy howdy.
But in addition to the majorettes, we had the colorguard. And they were
*so* fine that they looked like someone should put them on a plate and sop
them up with a biscuit!
It was good to be the king.
But I digress...
Bring on the RNPre before I go off and buy something I'll regret!

Same here, Scott. Both in high school and in college, I managed to be in
places where the music activities were valued to a greater degree than
sports. In addition to, for the most part, putting me through school, my
musical involvements in college basically subsidized my existence:
clothes, a place to live (called "dorm parent" but, I had a huge
apartment in an *empty* building :-), good side jobs when I needed them,
even cable t.v.!
