Hey
Whats up everybody!
Ok
Who has ever used a Neotek Elite? I'm in on 1 tomorrow and i'm just wondering if there are any tips and tricks? I'm familiar with consoles like the SSL-G, TLA and other analog consoles but first time in on a neotek.. i've had the basics and signal flow but as with every console there's always cool things or ways of doing things..
Think its a 56ch 16bus, 4 stereo channels, 3 talkback buttons! thats the best bit for me.. i hate having to sit 1 end of an SSL and break my back just trying to say something haha
Anyway any tips or tricks on this?
Thanks

Hey
Yea, when i was in having a play round it's sure got a differant way of routing etc.. After playing round on SSL's and such it's a bit of a differant way round! I think the main thing is the terminology on it
Do you happen to know much history on Neotek? Like when the original Neotek Elite was released? Cause the rumour of the console i was using is that it actually was used to record Stairway to Heaven and also multiple Abba albums.. would be cool to confirm original release dates and stuff though..i have my doubts haha
Thanks :)

This is off topic, but Arthur, remember the argument about whether the AT mics were of a truly professional standard? Look at the mics in his studio and see how many Audio Technica mics he's got to go with his expensive vintage mics.
