Mixing on a Custom Neve 8078 plus Neve Broadcast console

[Robert O]

I thought everyone might want to see some pictures of the mixing session we have in the studio at the moment. Craig Silvey (Magic Numbers, The Coral and loads of other great stuff) is mixing an album for a band called Yeti (very good - watch this space). He has brought a ton of his own gear in as well as using our custom Neve 8078 and other equipment. This includes a really nice old broadcast Neve console and two large racks of interesting outboard.

I did a bunch of records on the 8078 at Pie Studios in Glenn Cove, NY and it was always a joy to work there. Cool pics, brings back memories.

Do you know if the 8078 still there? I've looked on their website but it comes up so small on my monitor I can't read it.

they've still got an 8078 and an A800, and they've added HD3 over the last few years. cool room. i used to do drums there. they've got twice as many U47s as most places around here, and half of them are in near perfect condition.

Thanks, I'd better change the settings on my monitor so I can check out the site.....(or get some new glasses)

Me and engineer bil emmons at the now defunked Big House, a former Hit Factory room. I produced a dozen acoustic jazz records there from 1996-2000. Direct to DAT.

The 8078 had balls. Next best thing to tube gear. I liked it better than the ones at Clinton in NYC. One of only 3 8078s I've worked on.

I still think the best NEVE in NYC is the 8038 at SEAR SOUND.

Does anyone know what happened to that desk at the BIG HOUSE? The place was sold and became MIRROR IMMAGE, an SSL room.

Thats me on the right trying to look serious. I think we were stoned.

The one at Pie is discrete (and sounds terrific) the ones at Clinton are not.

the desk at Big house, by the way, was not an 8078.. although similar to one.

Speaking of Sear Sound (off topic, but had to chime in), I just looked at their web page..DAMN!!

Fairchild 670*

And a whole bunch of other awesome gear, some of which has the (*) symbol...at first I thought "Oh great, these are all *rental*extra-charge items, but turns out that just means it's tube gear

That place looks NAAAASTY!

Bump for all that Neve bling

The only thing SEAR lacks is a big room. If you took SEAR's gear and put it in RIGHT TRACK 509 or KAUFMAN ASTORIA , you'd have everything. Everything except a RECORD INDUSTRY.

I dont wanna sound like an ad, but about a 15 minute drive from pie studios is sabella studio in roslyn ny and they have a really nice sounding room with an 8068. I grew up in the town between these two studios.
