Hey Methlab, actually the C1 was one of those peices that im picking up very soon, when its in stock, so i can def grab a C2 instead. Only reason i opted for the C1 is because ive read the C1 comes closer to the SSL G series buss comp, and the C1 sounds better. Ive heard people say the C2 sounds more bright a hi-fi, britney spears like, more harsh,ect, and doesnt have as good a bottom end as the C1. Thats the only reason i had my mind set on the C1. I might be able to demo both if they're both instock, ect. I think a lot of records im admiring are being mixed on the SSL 4000 G series. I also like the sound of a lot of G-Unit records, and im afraid the C2 will not sound right for this type of sound.

So are you saying if i got the C2, i could use it both on the 2 buss and on mixing individual tracks at the same time without problems?
