Whats your thoughts on trading that C1 in for a C2?

A studio I frequent had the C1 and traded for the C2. That was their mix buss compressor for years until they got an SSL. The C2 had that "set it and forget it" quality, where he had it on from the tracking stage to mixing. The thing was always on the 2 buss.

I don't think your buss compressor should be set so hard that will fatigue your ears. It should be a subtle thing.

Oh, and you will have to choose what you are going to use your C1 on, unless you have the exact same settings for the drums and the master buss..which I seriously doubt.
