[AEXXL]

hello guys...i am 1ßß%ly going to build a rack with 8 or even 2 racks with 16 modules but...which neve is the best ,ok not best,which one u like most and why??? many peopple say the 1073 is amazing but to me its like i wont spent that money time and effort for so little eq-possibilities..i want mor bands like...so i thought of the 1081...or maybe it is possible to take the 1272 amp and combine it with the 1081 eq...???? any statements would be very helpful...thx

The Neve EQs are not surgical. They are musical. I think you'll find that there are plenty of great sounds in a Neve EQ. You can't really just read the paint and decide there aren't enough choices. Get a GML or the Sony EQ if you want lots of control.

Get the 1272's and add a different EQ for in depth control.
Well my personal recommendation would be: Build your racks with top notch pres and add a couple of eq plugs such as Sony Oxford, Massenburg or McDSP.
Nevertheless, its all a matter of preference and style of working.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">So... if you are *so* serious, then why don't you listen to them and decide which ones YOU like. Who cares what I like. What do you like? You are going to drop some serious cash on 16 channels of vintage Neve pre's/eq. If I was about to drop that kind of cash, you better beleive that I'd be buying that one that I LIKED not what some complete stranger on a news groups told me to get.

If you can't tell the difference enough to have an opinion, then I suggest doing to ear training for a while before you purchase. What are you going to do when you have to make creative decisions on a session? Make your client wait while you ask a discussion group which sounds better?

I'm sorry if that's harsh, but you opened the "harsh" issue with your response to Joz, which was uncalled for.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">uhhhhhhh, not this forum. Try general discussion or gearslutz! Why would you want responses from "wackos" anyway!

You are better off renting a rack w/ the modules you are asking about and determinig for yourself or renting time at a studio that has these modules and putting them thru the paces b4 you drop "Neve" cash!
