To buy the Neve 88RLB: [ Ссылка ]

For everyone whos been asking, here it is. Thank you for staying on me. I've been so busy with projects and life stuff, so it took me a weekend off to get this going. I hope you enjoy.

As I mentioned this is my favorite preamp, and one of my favorite pieces of gear. This thing simply rules.

This entire song I wrote in a few hours, it was recorded with the Neve 88RLB wherever I could use it. On guitars, bass and synths. On everything else, I ran the existing track through the line to inject some of that Neve transformer fatness. I tried to stay away from super mixing, and editing like crazy so you can see the true colors of this preamp. I didn't want to make everything sound a certain way, so I tried to leave guitars very raw. Bass was tracked through a BLA Bluey into a Audioscape Opto Comp into the Neve 88RLB. No amp on the bass, just the compressed DI. Guitars were a V30 mic'd with a e906 using a Peavey 6505MH. Drums were God City Drums. Cowbell was a sample I had made a while back with a Meinl cowbell. Overheads are Superior Drummer. Acoustic is a Baby Taylor mic'd with a stereo pair of Beyerdynamic i53s.

For all the comparisons, I was using a Radial splitter when needed. All guitars are amp sim'd here for the exact setting to compare between reg/no reg/hpf/stock pres.

The 88RLB isn't a super colorful unit, but it's a 3D round, warm and very full sound. It just makes things sound better. You can hear several comparisons, and it's features that it offers that make it a joy to own. While certainly things the subtle for sure. They can make a huge difference in weight during mixing. This is like the REG feature and Hi Pass Filter engaged. They're two features that really add a bit more to your sound.

Overall I try to touch base on just above everything this preamp offers. I tried to show stuff on guitars mostly. As that's where I feel these features make the most difference. As well as on voice over. This thing is universally applied to so many uses. It's such a workhorse, swiss army knife, all in one piece of gear that just simply sounds amazing.

As well all voice over in this video is through the Neve 88RLB.
