How many Neve 1064A Mic Pre / Eq's do you have?

Good questions.

Jules,

I have 8 Class A Neve 1064A's. They are dual Mic Pre / EQ.

I started experimenting after watching my friend Randy Ezratty of Effanel Music ( arguably one of the best remote recording companies in the world !) employ that technique when doing live remotes. The theory being that you will get a better signal with greater rejection of noise and interference if you apply the gain at 20 feet instead of 500 to a thousand. And it really does. I find the drums are punchy and need less eq.

When I do need eq, I just pop on a pair of phones and adjust in the live room. I may even drive my second a little crazy by making them adjust it.

Nice one, thanks.

I have never tried this, and plan to one day soon..
