Money than I could if I’d remember that fact myself just days ago #7 Another questions 1. I started a demo for the API vision console emulation and I wondered what's the difference with the channel strip "alone". I guess it won't appear in the "console" slot in luna and will go to an insert slot instead. But what would be the difference ?2. Let's say i want to use a neve preamp (instead of the API one included in the channel strip). What's the "right" solution ? Use the channel strip as an insert after the neve preamp (and disable the api preamp) ? Thanks #8 Another questions 1.

I mean really "to mix " : quickly going from track to track to set gain, filtering, eq, ... not trying to find the right setting one track after other as we took the bad habits since DAW became our tool . 2. I'm not sure to get your concern here : yes you can use a Neve preamp before the the API plug-in, if you really need to do this #9 1. the difference is that you don't need to have all your plugin

I'm not sure to get your concern here : yes you can use a Neve preamp before the the API plug-in, if you really need to do this Sorry I wasn't clear enough The "console" is before inserts in Luna (in the signal chain). So if I use the API Vision console emulation (in the console slot), there will be the api preamp, then API comp/eq, etc. I can't insert anything before the "console" slot, the Neve will be necessary in the first insert slot (so after the console), so the preamp will be at the end of the sound chain, instead of the 1st. So the solution i saw, was to use the channel strip as an insert, after the neve preamp. And kind of lose the console advantage from the previous point.

Digital Conversion The 1073DPD’s superb analogue pedigree is complemented with high-headroom Neve-quality A/D conversion outputting high-resolution 24bit 192kHz digital via AES or DSD digital protocols. In addition, synchronization points via AES or word clock allow for seamless integration to a host of digital recording mediums.ADC Insert The DPD features an ADC insert via TRS connection, this gives access to the DPD’s high-quality built-in converters allowing any external analogue equipment to benefit from high-resolution A/D conversion. Additionally, this feature allows for the insertion of external analogue processors into the DPD’s signal path by feeding the analogue output into an outboard compressor, then back into the ADC insert to appear digitally to your audio interface.Marinair® Transformers Exclusive Marinair® transformers are used on the input and output stage to produce that classic Neve® 1073® sound.Class A Discrete The 1073DPD retains the discrete, class-A topology made famous by the classic 1073®. The discrete audio path is constructed using through-hole methods, including mounting the Marinair® transformers and class-A transistor-based amplifiers.Unique 1073® Gain Staging The classic 5dB stepped Elma switch delivers accurate gain levels throughout the gain range, this unique layout means there is no need for a mic/line switch as the pot itself selects the preamp and input. Three distinct gain stages provided by two independent transistor-based preamplifiers provide gain for any DI, line input or microphone signal.High Output - Harmonic Saturation The 1073® preamp produces up to 80dB of microphone gain. By combining multiple gain stages and utilising the output trim control, the 1073DPD can be driven hard, bringing out the musical drive and harmonic saturation for which the 1073 is famous.Lo-Z Impedance With settings of 1.2kΩ and 300Ω, the 1073LB impedance can be optimised for use with a wide range of modern or vintage microphones.Phase Invert The 180-degree phase flip feature is handy in multi-microphone setups with multiple preamps – it’s ideal for top and bottom snare micing..

DIYRE, which is generally lower price than hairball. I've enjoyed all the DIYRE stuff I've built, it works great, and their support is excellent mdc Well-known member #13 The 3-band and hi-pass filter are what make the color box a bit different than other straight neve-clones. It's more of a full channel than just the preamp that you'd get out of most 500-series modules. A colour box clone (or other 'console-style' transformer-coupled-ish) preamp with unbalanced and XLR i/o and a nice 3-band EQ would be a cool way to build out a multi-channel "character" preamp for tracking drums, etc. Obviously there are a million more cost-effective ways to get there, but I'm all for dumb fun. #14 The 3-band and hi-pass filter are what make the color box a bit different than other straight neve-clones.

I've also built the Sound Skulptor 500 series Neve style pre (MP573 & EQ573), and while there are a lot of parts, they're not too challenging. It would make for a more complex kit, but at least to me very very worth it. #17 Well, since the Lullduhm transformer is less than optimiss primaL, prisewice, how about a Colourbocks with a different transformer?How about using something less expensive... aNew Neve Preamp VS Neve 1073
Retain “nominal line level” at the output of the preamp. This was often done in original Neve 1073 preamps because the higher gain settings actually switched in another amplifier card and to some people “sounded more Neve-y.” The channel out fader retained the relative nominal level even though the preamp was riding a little higher than would be necessary.Line inputThis refers to the stage after the preamp where the signal is fed line-level into your interface’s DAC.If you are using the VRS8 mic preamp, this happens internallyIf you are using an external line-level source, pathing into the VRS8 Line Input passes you through a variable line-level gain stage that is controlled by the same knob as the preamp.This could also be the line input of a console, an analog recorder, or any other line inputSignal processingEQs, compressors and other signal processors can add and subtract level. Best practice is to adjust the processor so that the desired effect is achieved but the processor can be bypassed without a significant change in gain. This is so you can make good decisions about what the processor is doing.Some signal processors do not feature make-up gain or trim controls. Often times an audio engineer will add another fader or trim control in series with these processors to maintain “unity gain” up until the mix fader.Signal processing can be “pre-fader” or “post fader,” just like an auxiliary send. The “fader” in this case is the channel fader referred to below.Channel FaderThe final fader to the Mix Bus is most often where adjustments are made to create the desired “mix” or “balance” of signals. If nominal level and unity gain have been well maintained through the recording process, the channel faders will give you a good visual reference of your relative levels hitting the mixNeve Preamp and EQ - Reverb
Channel preamp and I feel it’s time to give it some praise. What drew me to it was part the price but also the full channel strip feature set. After some use I found the preamp to be quite clean sounding and that comp and EQ to be highly usable. Both on instrument and on vocals. I also found out that you can use the comp and EQ separately since the guitar DI input also can work as a Line input! How is that for versatile and bang for the buck?The other select few are:CAPI VP26GAP-573 mk3Sound Skulptor MP5.66To make this a thread, ask me anything about this. Or suggest a preamp missing from my collection so I can procrastinate some more. Hi. My question to you is about the GAP 73. Does it have the Charnhill transformers, also doe it sound like Neve, or close. Thx Here for the gear Joined: May 2012 🎧 10 years I often use a big bold signal chain for less vox, maybe a tube mic and an Avalon or Manley preamp. But what I always do, is use a FET mic (often the transformerless Sony 80G, or AKG C-414) and plug it into the SSL SiX for backing vocals. This thing is truly lovely, it lets me layer and layer vox without getting murky or muddy. So while I never use this on the lead vocals, I’ve used it in every recording I’ve ever done since I bought it. It really is an amazing piece of gear..
