From Concept To Console - Custom Series 75 Neve Console 

Ever since I read the story about this creation in Sound on Sound I've been watching for it, and when I saw it at a Canadian music store the price was so reasonable for the quality you are getting I couldn't believe it! It's not cheap but realistically speaking this is the deal of the century! I believe the starting price was about $90k CAD @ 24 channels. I know I would quadruple the price by the time I was done but it would last me a life time, well more because I'm not young anymore. What caught my attention is the ability to change the buses from transformer classic to ultra clean for some digital music simply by moving jumpers under the deck. So it's like getting two models in one. And the fact that it was built thinking about the person who may have to do maintenance on this beast, it's easier to work on. Well once Neve lets you use their brand, you're home buddy. For me, Neve is simply the best. 72 channels would be brilliant, split the board and use transformers on the tracking side and the ultra clean on the other, if it's possible. Something tells me it is. Brilliant, absolutely brilliant. And it's beautiful in the dark too, in fact I have a photo of it over my pc.

That's a thing of beauty.

I was blessed enough to be able to intern at a studio with a Custom Series 75 at the centre of its main studio, and it was always such a pleasure and a joy to work on. Such a magnificent console!

Why can't you say this was initially designed and built in Australia because Tom Misner (SAE) owned part of Neve and his studio techs designed it with help from Neve.

That recording studio looks "boss!" The Neve 75 console is out-of-sight.

All I do is google Neve I want all they products all I could is dream bout them

Hey Guys, Job well done !!!! this console is BEAUTIFUL. WOW

Bruce Millett looks like or reminds me of Russel Crowe ! This board looks amazing. So how is the recall done on each channel?

hell yeah!!

Warren Huart look different.

Look!..Its Frankenstein Console.......and Its Beautiful

Folks don't be confused. Class A is the cleanest way to amplify a signal. The character comes from the transformers and other things. Unless of course you overdrive it into clipping. Class A also creates a lot of heat as the transistors are always fed a high bias signal. There are some sliding bias schemes and perhaps they are doing that in their version of the 1073, etc.

Wow, I love it!

a dream!

Great facilities.. awesome looking console!

I know exactly how they feel. Those old vintage consoles. Nearly 50 years old... You can't expect reliability. Unless you completely and totally, clean,, refurbish, rebuild, repair, recap the whole kit and caboodle. And that can cost thousands. Like at least $3000. But then my 1970, NBC-TV, 36 input, custom Neve console. Started working like new again. Because it was essentially, brand-new again. Who the hell would want a new one? And it works reliably for about, 23 years, again. Now it's time to do it again. 25 years later. This was such a huge undertaking to do. I had to sit and think. There has to be a better way. Okey-dokey. I created a better way. 25 years ago. Then I turned all of my technical friends onto it. Little did I realize. I just created the de facto standard of vintage console restoration. So now it's far easier and far less expensive. To refurbish your console like new again. And the punchline is. You have to wash it with soap and water. Now everybody thinks I'm kidding. I'm not. It's called an, ultrasonic cleaning. You use about 10 gallons of a good surfactant. And about 50-100 gallons of clean fresh filtered water. And a one-week drying period of time. Then you replace all of the electrolytic capacitors, simultaneously. And voilà! And it's going to take a lot of capacitors, beer, pizza, Chinese food and marijuana. It's very funny to do. You play a lot of rock 'n' roll. You replace a lot of parts. And you then act like an old wash woman.. And you give your bouncing baby audio console a squeaky clean bath. With very specific procedures. Because you really don't wash the whole thing. Some people do. I advise against that manner. Though many have been successful. They tell me.. That's not my precise method. Of course it's always great. To have brand-new custom specified equipment. Not much to worry about for about, 20 or so years. And more for the faint of heart. The don't want to get into the nitty-gritty. Of cleaning, refurbishing, custom modifying. To like new again. And yeah. If I or someone else to get melancholy. About recording through, 24 vintage Neve inputs. And you know you want something different. Well then I also have, 20 API and 12 tube extra input, mixers. And some other outboard graphic parametric equalizers. When you are itching for something way different. I can take care of those itches. So whatever whim is required. I've been thinking about a completely new and different, control room design. For a change. I come up with some interesting things. I kind of like the idea of a digitally controlled, Neve API console. I've been tossing this around in my head for the past couple of years. It would be cute. I would definitely purchase that console with that Neve moniker. It comes close to what I've been talking about doing. And it's not a Genesis either. And also competes with some of that lineage. It's a brand-new modern old-fashioned Neve. And obviously you can't go wrong. A lot of the recorded music through these. Pretty much mixes itself. We just guide it out the stereo outputs. And it sounds like this it sounds like this when you do it live: soundcloud.com/user-135130368/sets/live-at-electric-church-fm-sessions-vol-1 That's pure live 100% unadulterated, unmodified, 1970, festival style broadcast mixing. Of bands I don't know, never heard, never heard of before. No microphone checks. No sound checks. All cheap microphones. No video assist, to see the stage. The control room is 200 feet behind the nightclub in a diesel box truck. This is all a 100% technical compromise. On a tiny little stage. And so you do the best with what you have to work with. And you just sort of roll with it. Sometimes your mixes in the pocket. Other times, not to your liking. Oh well. This is real rock 'n' roll recording Perfectly haphazardly done. And nothing more actually than an experiment of, 11 months running. Over 500 bands recorded live. Just to do something. Nobody else in the country was doing. This is just the first 14 of 500. This is what recording is all about RemyRAD

Not sure if I'm weeping in sheer awe, or my tear ducts are orgasmic?!? 👀💦 #Dopeness! 🎚️🎛️🎶💯 Hymn
