“I absolutely love the unit and it sounds so good that I’m about to order another 16 or so channels to use with PMJ.” “Plus, the new ones have a warranty, the caps are fresh and the pots aren’t scratchy,” he says. Ly adds that if you took five racked channels of vintage 1073s and added five channels of DPX, you’d be hard pressed to pick them apart, especially in a mix. The build quality also feels chunky and the layout is logical – everything I expect from a Neve.”
The front panel DI means I don’t have to crawl around for a direct box, and the independent masters allow me to smash the inputs hard while still maintaining proper levels to tape.

“With my current set up I am mainly mixing – I don’t do much tracking here, just the occasional vocal or instrument overdub.”Īdding a Neve 1073DPX was a crucial step, as Ly explains: “I already had 26 channels of various mic amps in the mobile rig, but I wanted to incorporate the fatness and warmth of Neve’s 10 series circuits into both of my setups so I could use them for tracking and mixing. “I have a large mobile recording rig and passport at the ready so I can go anywhere I’m needed,” he explains. But during the COVID-19 lockdowns, the studio switched its focus to recording voiceovers and ADR, which forced Ly to relocate his equipment to his own home.
