But I agree with Jon. Unless you're into massively overprocessing your
audio, get rid of the RCF-1.

It is easy to make a station loud. The trick is to keep people from
tuning out from fatigue. The Texar is the most easily-recognizable bad
processing in the industry (second only to the infamous
Audimax/Volumax). I don't know anyone who cannot spot one instantly on
the air after ten seconds of listening.

I don't call that "transparency".

There are plenty of PDs who don't want transparency, and in fact who
want processing that specifically puts their fingerprint on the sound
and makes it sound different than everything else on the dial. Not
necessarily better, just different.

I don't get it, but then I think the whole loudness war thing is silly
anyway.
