![]() ![]() The truth is I know very little about the Neve history and right now. There are already a lot of great "British Console" projects out there from The Don Classics, Martin Adriaanse, and Audio Maintenance Limited, so I want to make sure that anything we do fits a niche not already filled by those folks. I know I want it to be something more unique than a straight clone. ![]() I emphasized " some sort of Neve-inspired kit" above because I have no idea what it will be. ![]() Photo by Neve Sweden, from Wikimedia Commons The 10 preamp/equalizers and the 229 compressors are all console modules that have found a second life as plugins and pieces of standalone audio gear. And a whole cottage industry has emerged around cloning parts of these consoles to make the "Neve sound" available for modern project studios that don't possess a console. Neve's vintage consoles (especially those of the 70's as we'll see later) are famous for their "warm," "larger-than-life" sound. "Neve" refers to a family of analog audio gear, either directly designed by or inspired by the designs of Rupert Neve. The project will be some sort of Neve-inspired kit, but that's all I know. I titled this post "Mystery Project" because right now it's a mystery to me. That means I'm going to share everything I learn as I go and I'll publish my design files under an open source Creative Commons Share-Alike license. I'm just beginning a new project and I thought I'd try something different this time: I'm going to make the entire design process public. ![]()
