Try the C1 more similar to an SSL 2 buss comp than the C2!

I compared the C1 and the API2500 and the C1 was the winner ..all of my frieds prefered the C1.

Now I was impressed because at the beggining when I tried the API.. that by the way looks amazing!!!! I said..wow thing thing sounds great..and so many sonic posibilities...very versatile!

So I made the best sound with the C1 and then with the API2500 and after listening the files I realized that I do not care about all the sonic posibilities of the API2500... compared to the C1, the API smears the sound (loses definition and clarity ) ...and the C1 was more alive, more exciting , clear and tight!

Great compressor the 2500....but I am not sure if I want it in my 2bus.
