    The absolute in consoles and sound.I was an intern in NewYork with 2 studios with 24 track Neve consoles,Studer 24 track and mcintosh amps on the JBL 604 monitors.
    nothing ever came close to the sound of that studio. Half way through my internship,they changed over to Neve automated consoles which remembered every fader position for remixes and takes.So you revert back to a specific take,and the faders would set up automatically. The most amazing thing I have ever seen.Smooth as silk movement. This was back in 1979.Rupert was totally ahead of his time.RIP Rupert.Nice presentation guys.

    What's really amazing is that for a long time Rupert felt like the 1073 was a mistake. He either overlooked some numbers, or it was the best he could do at the time, but it wasn't ideal. I heard him talk about how it does this thing when it's under heavy load that it shouldn't do. I'm trying to remember exactly what he said, but the long and the short of it is that it had something to do with overmodulating and harmonics etc.......and that he could make a better preamp....so he set to do that....and made some amazing strides doing do. The problem is that those weird things that he considered a weakness, or mistake, were the VERY THINGS that made them sound so damn good. When he finally got his equipment REALLY clean he realized that the vibrant honest sound he thought he would get, was really just sterile and stale. So he came full circle where he realized that it wasn't about getting a "clean signal" so much as it was all about being able to get a clean and open signal, and then be able to decide what kind of distortion you want, and how much...just like cooking with seasoning. I totally agree with the others who say that "distortion" is a BAD word for the rainbow of colors and harmonics we LOVE to hear in our music. It seems like Rupert spent the last third of his life making audio products that use the right kind of "distortion" Even, odd harmonics, and then different kinds of caps, transformers, steel, nickel, iron etc. He was a genius, and a VERY cool and loving man from what I know of him. Just a down to earth Christian who felt like his talents were his gift to humanity to make great music for the world. He was a visionary, and a special human being who EVERYONE should love and honor, even if they don't know anything about audio recording.

    He won't be forgotten. Recording gear wouldn't be the same today without a mind like his. And even if I'll never own a single original Neve designed piece of gear, I know., that he layed the ground for countless commercial and diy projects of today.
    Thank you Rupert Neve, you will be missed.

    I have an Amek desk loaded with all Neve modules. My desk was available with either Neve or Langley modules and finding my desk with all Neve modules was like finding a needle in a haystack. Another cool thing about my desk is that in the Showtime software they have recorded Rupert Neve giving instructions on where to reset the settings of your console...... that’s pretty cool!
