| The C2 eats lo end? Not in my experience... Remember, when you are a/b-ing the compressed/non compressed signals, you have to level match... Even a fraction of a db difference and the first thing your ears tell you is "wow there goes the lo end". Especially if you are monitoring loud. Although I don't have the API 2500, I will say that the C2 is a fantastic 2buss compressor. And the 909 kick loves the C2.
The quad compressor in our SSL 4000 does seem to eat the Fidelity a little.... just a little, but enough so there is a trade off... cool "ssl compressor sound" vs full bandwidth. The C2 cures this problem... pre VCA out of the SSL right into the C2 (and 3 or 4 other things depending on the day....) and you have "that sound" and more.
The C2 is a full bandwidth, supercharged sounding version of the Quad compressor. |
