Well the LA4 adds a nice warmth that the RNC doesn't (and shouldn't cause it was designed as a transparent comp).

Also, because of the lack of controls, it's kinda hard to screw up. I just set the ratio to 2:1 and adjusted the amount of gain reduction with the threshold button.

Really, even if I didn't want to compress something for tracking, I'd still run stuff though it just for the warmth it adds but setting the thres at min.

Using the LA2A was even easier to use, since all it has is basically one knob (threshold) to dial in the amount of reduction, and then a make up gain knob.

For me, I like easy.
