Just been using a Neve 1073 pair recently, I find, like on my Helios eq that boost seems to be the thing I go for instictivly..

I have heard that the same goes for the API range, twist in a boost and BAFF! Cool kick, snare & gtr sounds

Using a Foucusrite 215 however, leads me to cut frequencies.. (vocal 'honk' kick 'crok')

Why is this?

Hi there,

I'm looking for advice on racked Neve pre's with 230v power.

Over here in Holland I can't find any adress that sells them, so I'm looking for internet-sites where I can buy them online (with Creditcard)

With DAWs making their stake in the industry do you think Neve, SSL, Euphonics, or any of the other high end large frame console manufacturers will begin making 24, 16 or even 8 channel mixers for DAWs. I would love to have 8 Neve channel strips sitting in front of my Pro Tools at home. The Control24 is a perfect example but will it inspire the other console companies?

Is the difference ONLY the direction of gain stages on the Line Input. ie Only the WAY it clicks through the steps? Or are there more important SOUND QUALITY related differences?

Assuming they look almost identical (do they?) Then, if, say, you were in an other country and hired a 1073 and a 1089 turned up instead would you:

Has anyone tried the Dan Alexander or the Brent Averill Neve design preamps (or others)?

I recently lucked into an old Neve broadcast board for very little cash. It has 8 channels (modules are stamped 83012), room for 8 more, and a master section.
The rub: no power supply came with it. Any idea where I can find one? it doesn't have to be original - an aftermarket is fine for me.
thanks

I'm putting together a 1272 class A from the 183 circuit and the input and output transformers. Is there anyway to avoid building the gain switch? Would a 5k pot work instead, like the one on the output?

Hi Gang,
I'll give you guys the set-up first. I track 75% real audio/25% midi projects to a mac hard disc medium. Pro studio(ie, I make my living at it)
Concern- improving warmth/fatness on tracks & mixes, (ie the elusive big analog sound)
Gear
mid quality mics(RODE NT-1, AKG C-1000's/D-II2, SM-7, 57's, CAD,, ATM,etc)

Hi Gang,

Anybody have any information on the 2264X compressors? I own 2264's and 32264a's, and I saw some for sale, and was wondering has anyone ever used them. How do they compare to the other two. THANKS.
