Greetings, anyone directly A/B'd the Smart C1 to the C2? I know the C2 has "crush" and sidechains, but how 'bout when they are set up identically with the same ratios and thresholds, etc? The C2 is $500 more- I have heard that some prefer the C1 over the C2.

Many thanks-

Is this compressor OK for world beat music and clean recordings like piano? I know it can do rock, but what about jazz, etc?
I guess I am asking if it is versatile enough?
THANKS.

I just tried a search on this and could find virtually no comments, which makes me curious why nobody discusses. but I'm wondering if anyones used any Alan Smart gear and what they think of it.

I am auditioning an Alan Smart C1. I like it a lot, and I am wondering about the C2. Is the C2 an "updated" C1, or are the two completely different units? I don't want to go with the C1 if the C2 "blows it away" in some fashion. Any help out there? Thanks
