Maybe you would like to hear the difference?. This was tracked and mixed by a fellow engineer here in town. This was a big daddy session too. 60 piece orchestra at Ocean Way on the 80 input Neve 8078. (Session cost came out to something like $1.60 per second!)

Hi. Can anyone recommend a specific recording with extensive use of Neve preamps, both vocal and for tracking instruments? A recent recording with a clone would be fine. I have seen the mantra repeated here numerous times and would like to hear for myself. I am a hobbyist getting serious about my tone.

hey mcSnare et al,

had a chance to use some brent averill-racked calrec 1061 pre/eqs and LOVED them! now, according to legend the calrec company was hired by the bbc to make copies of the Neve gear of the time. my question.

. what Neve model are the 1061s based on? and would you say they sounded identical, or at least close, to the equivalent Neve model?

does anybody knows where I can get vintage Neve preamps (2 channel) - I think TL Audio does something but where can I find them?

yo recording heads... in the near future i'm going to have to learn and work with the Neve 88r, although i'm quite comfortable with the vr/flying faders set-up's, is there anything weird or unique about the new desks that i should look out for(aside from the obvious benifits/complications of motorised small faders)?

I'm posting around looking for someone who has tried these things, or even heard anything of them. http://www.jlmaudio.com
The prices are CERTAINLY fantastic, IF they are as good as what they claI'm to be. See if any of you golden ears can get a demo to check out.

I've been using various 10XX series modules for a while now and was wondering in anyone knows the correct setting of the switch on the back of the module. I've always just went with whatever it was already set to, until I starting hearing about a "correct" setting for a particular mic. I recently spoke to someone knowledgable, and they said if you are using newer microphones, set it to HI.

Can anyone provide any info on Tweed consoles and whether there was some relation to Neve equipment?

here's a photo of a board described as a "Tweed Neve" any comments?
