    Hey everyone,
    I’ve been getting lots of messages from you guys saying how the audio part of the video is a bit messed up. I forgot to mute the camera audio, noob mistake. This was my first big video in this format & it won’t happen again.
    I’ve also been getting lots of messages asking how to use it and other questions regarding the Neve 1073 so I’m going to be making a PART 2 on this video. I’ll focus more on the audio, how it sounds, and how to use it and maybe how I’m connecting it all together. I’ll just talk more about the technical side of it. If you’re interested in that stay tuned!!

      Might want to check if all the cables are connected correctly or if your mic is getting any signal. Look at the meters on the neve to check if it’s receiving signals if it is it has to be something you’re overlooking. Sometimes it happens to me and I just check everything and figure out its something small. Hope this helps

    • @lowkeyluxid
      @lowkeyluxid  3 роки тому

      En mi opinión, creo que todo depende de lo que necesites. El 1073 tiene el ecualizador que el 5211 no tiene. El 1073 también tiene DI, lo que significa que puede conectar instrumentos directamente al 1073. Sin embargo, el 5211 es un micrófono de dos canales pre dedicado solo a micrófonos. Así que realmente depende del tipo de sonido que estés buscando y si quieres más control con el ecualizador y si quieres conectar instrumentos a él.

      Hell yeah, the Neve 1073 would work wonders for you. I’d suggest watching preamp shootouts with live drums to see how the drums sound with different pre amps along the same price range. Maybe you have a specific sound you’re looking for and maybe other preamps could help you achieve that better. So I’d still do my research just to be safe this is the pre amp you want for sure. Hope this helps

      @lowkeyluxid  3 роки тому +1

      @@KillforKickz I believe you can connect it to either or, you would just have to research it a little more before hand. I’m not too familiar with drum tracking myself. Another option you can go for if you’re trying to record drums and want that classic 1073 sound is maybe take a look at the Neve 1073 OPX. Pretty much the same thing just with 8 mic preamps. So you would easily be able to record drums with that. But if you already have an interface with 8 mic preamps then you just have to figure out if you’d be able to use the sound from the Neve while using your dedicated interface. I’m not to knowledgeable when it comes to drum recording but I tried my best. Hope this helps!

    Hi bro,
    I know this vid is 1y.o, but congrats on the purchase. Now, your last vid was 4 months ago, and I can’t help but notice you’re still rocking the same foam treatments in ur studio. If you get rid of the cheap foam on the walls & spend half of the amount you spent on this mic pre alone to invest in some real acoustic treatment, I can promise you that every piece of gear in ur studio, including ur speakers will sound 10x better! That what you should’ve done before buying any gear in the first place, because the most important piece of gear in your room is the room itself 😙
    But no harm done, if you’re serious about making music, now is the time to properly treat ur room!
    There are millions of videos on YT on why cheap foam is the worst thing to plaster all over ur recording/mixing space, so I’m not gonna get into that here. Just treat the damn room properly, you’ll thank yourself for it! If you’ve spent all ur funds on gear & now a little short on cash, go the DIY route! The idea of sourcing the materials needed to make ur own acoustic panels & hanging them up yourself can be terrifying, especially if you never done any wood working before. Trust me, I’ve been there! But again, if you’re truly serious about music, this is literally the most important thing you could invest in your studio!
    If you need more info, a quick YT search will get u started on that rabbit hole. ☺️
    Best of luck!

    the neve scheme does not provide for a di box without strong modifications . use an external di box to reduce the noise level and get more colors from your amplifier The impedance of 120K, as it is made in BAE, is too small for guitars.
    Please note that there are no directs in all modern AMS Neve claiming authenticity. Therefore, there are two ways to get the color of the field on the guitar. The first is an external dibox, the second is to remove the signal from the cabinet using 1073.
    Also in terms of overload capacity, the line and microphone inputs 1073 are the same.
