Vintage Neve 32 channel console
Our studio is centered around our vintage 32 channel Neve 8108 console originally purchased and used by George Lucas for mixing films for the Star Wars franchise. This console was used to mix films in the Screening Auditorium in Building C. The Return of the Jedi, Willow, Indiana Jones and MANY other films were mixed on this very desk for Steven Spielberg and Lucas Film! In the late 90We are blessed to have this piece of history in our studio - and it SOUNDS like bliss - especially on vocals!
Audio Interface and Software
We are getting sounds to the computer from the Neve through Universal Audio Apollo audio interfaces. We have an Apollo x8p and an Apollo 16. We use Pro Tools. We are loaded up with plugins in addition to the beautiful sounding Neve 8108 console pres and EQs.
