"Best mixing experience I’ve had"

I’ve spent thousand on waves plugins, I currently subscribe to the everything bundle by Slate, but they have nothing on C1. I got more done, faster and had a better experience on C1 than ever mixing before. It doesn’t do everything, you’ll still need reverbs, etc. . You’ll still need to draw automation, but it gets you very far, very fast. I ordered a stand that will put it at a better viewing angle as you can’t see the LEDs when laying flat on the desk. This is one area I think they could have improved on.. they could have added a little drop down leg like you see on some iPad stands. The plugin sounds great! SSL 4K for anything rock, metal, etc.. The British console sounds different and worked great on a less heavy song I’m mixing. Aside from a specialty plugin here and there from other manufacturers, I’m going all console 1 for my channel strip needs.

Musical Background:

Drums, synth, guitar, live sound engineer, studio engineer
