After reading your email again I feel like I did not answer your last question. Always go for the 1e modules you have more of an eq section. Also in my opinion as I said in the previous reply I think the 1e has a smoother more pleasing sound. I've heard that the series 1&1e have the same preamp. Ive done tests with the eq out and normalized if they are the same, then something else is coming in to play chips, caps, who knows?? but i hear a major difference between the 1&1e.

I have a series on that I am modding when the needs arise. Having said that, in your opinion I should upgrade to a 1e for tracking except in vocals and overheads? Maybe I should split the console 12-1 and 12-1e with the 1 sub and master section. Do feel it would be beneficial to keep the 1 or should I just get a really good 1e and maybe rack a pair of 1s?
