A Neve 1073...Interface?

[@BrendanMakesMusic]

$3000 for a 2 in/1 out rack mount interface? I could buy an interface, a 500-series chassis, and multiple preamps and compressors for less than that. This product is detached from reality. I can’t imagine a single studio config where this is the optimal piece of gear; destined to sit unused by dentists and morons, next to their custom-built PRS.

[@merrittsquared]

Just because you and I can’t afford this or want to pay for this doesn’t mean it is detached. I would rather spend money like that differently but at the same time I think it is probably pretty awesome for someone else.

[@BrendanMakesMusic]

@@merrittsquared I could afford it just fine, it would just be a dumb purchase when I got an RME Babyface that does more than than this does for 1/3 the price

[@merrittsquared]

@@BrendanMakesMusic ahhh, so you don’t need it or want it. That’s a different story. There’s a lot of gear that I don’t need or want for various reasons but if someone were to send it to me I would probably think it was kind of cool. Which is sort of the problem with KZbinrs these days. Once you get sent something (for free) you sort of are biased towards the company and/or product. I may agree with you on the price of this particular gear but if Sweetwater sent it to me I would say….well this is neat.

[@jamproject9]

Would of been great to hear an example between the standard setup you have. Thanks for showing it though man 🔥

[@drewwebsteraudio]

This product is a joke. USB 2.0!? A Direct/DAW mix knob instead of monitoring software!? This thing is already outdated, and for a $1200 up charge!?!?!?!? You’d be MUCH better off getting a regular 1073 and a 2 channel Apollo

[@BrendanMakesMusic]

There’s lots of issues with it, but I haven’t used a separate monitoring chain in fifteen years. First with a Clarett thunderbolt then with RME, all monitoring is in the box. Separate monitoring chains and onboard DSP have been irrelevant since the mid 2010’s. USB 2.0 is plenty for zero latency audio, the issue is developing good enough drivers and having a decently powerful computer; see RME.

[@bigstevedzn2353]

@@BrendanMakesMusic Yes but it’s insane that it’s a 1200$ price increase. You could purchase the regular 1073 SPX, AND an Apollo twin quad that comes with the 1176 and 2a bundles etc… for the same exact price, potentially cheaper. Not to mention you get the DSP option (which is fading I know), but the plugins that come bundled also are available natively now. And theoretically there is no real difference between USB 2.0 and 3.0 C, but USB C has been adopted and mainstream for the better part of a decade now. From a creature comfort and quality of life standpoint it should have USB 3.0 C, considering it’s $3000. Which you could get a superior BAE 1073 for. The product simply suffers from trying to appeal to pro-ish consumers, whilst most pros or people semi-serious about music already have an interface etc… and the daw/direct mix control is completely obsolete if you have any other gear in your chain. I agree though, RME is great.

[@TomSavadel]

I have a question hopefully you can help me out because I do not know too much. I currently run an ISA 2 with a focus rite 18i8 as my main sound source into the pc Does this neve run independently and simultaneously while the 18i8 is running. Into the pc ? Or would I direct a signal into the a dry 18i8 slot? Hopefully my question makes sense lol Thanks in advance

[@Ainword]

Love the ad! One thing though: I don't get gear for free so if you could mention prices that'd be great ( sorry for being one of those people who counts money...)!

[@infinidominion]

3 fuckin thousand dollars

[@blaness13]

too busy counting money to pay attention to the entire video?

[@Dave-0]

Hey only 3X the price of an 88M 🙄

[@jaredl123]

Why are there not more 32-bit interfaces?

[@SonarHD]

That’s because even 24bit cannot be physically surpassed due to the internal noise from the circuitry within the audio interface itself (as well as the preamps, and any outboard gear being used). IOW, it’s physically impossible! There would have to be a FUNDAMENTAL change in the way we make circuits in order to surpass 24bit recording. Let me put it this way, even the most expensive converter in the world (think Lavry, Prism Sound, etc) can’t record clean audio at 24bit, which gives a theoretical noise floor of -144 dB. I haven’t checked in a while, but the lowest noise floor I’ve seen an interface achieve is around -130 dB, which are unaffordable for most people. In any case, we’re talking things beyond the human ear capabilities. Plus, modern converters (even cheap ones) are much more capable than they were 20 years ago. Not to say that there’s not an audible difference between a cheap converter and an expensive one, but considering what most people use to listen to music these days, it really doesn’t matter lol.

AMS NEVE 1073 DPA and 1073 SPX ，how to choose？Thx

[@infinidominion]

Only for the low price of what 2500 dollars?

[@infinidominion]

HA! I was 500 too low, God damn

[@BockwinkleB]

Ill keep my behringer with 8 mic pres for 300 bucks.

[@JimsMusicJourney]

At $2995 this is not a home interface for a home studio. But I understand the price.

[@KnapfordMaster98]

And here I thought the SSL interfaces were pricey.

[@GUYMFF]

Hi guys! I'm very sorry for the stupid question... 1073SPX-D - сan this new legendary mic preamp also work as an analog STEREO equalizer? I ask because this time it has a stereo input (MONITOR). Well, or at least, can it pass stereo material fed via USB via a PC through its analog equalizer? That is, to be like audio interfaces with a built-in equalizer. Thank you very much!

[@nujaz]

Im interested primarily because there is NO software to deal with…. And, of course the legendary sound

[@ArmandoVegaTV]

Neat idea... but the price is a bit high. I don't mind running my SR Studio 1073-style Preamp into an interface at a fraction of the price. But that's just me... I wouldn't mind an A/B sound test?

[@tadpolethedrummer2059]

Very neat unit! Would definitely be interested in hearing how a recording would sound using mics through it!

[@wheresallthezombies]

Dang, it’s such a simple idea. lol. I can’t believe no one thought of it before.

[@nobirdsnomasters]

Cable wise, you can get USB-B to C cables.

[@patrickfouhy9102]

If I'm being picky, at that price point I would have liked to see two sets of ADAT so you can actually record the advertised 9 channels higher than 48k, or have the option to add 16 channels at 48k. Also a little let down by 24 bit being the max bit rate, 32 is very quickly becoming the standard. Anyone wondering about USB 2.0 not being fast enough, it totally is. USB 2.0 is dialed in and efficient these days it can handle 32 channels if input and output audio without noticeable latency.

[@JoshuaLTRyan]

fwiw RME agrees with Neve re USB.

[@patrickfouhy9102]

as does MOTU, Antelope and most other high end interface companies.

[@DavidFlores-xz9wb]

No sound demo 😅

[@DavidMadeira29]

Have you cut your vein once and saw that it was not enough or only appreciated the fanciness of the Razorback model?! I don't know. Namastè.

[@adityabali1939]

1 view in 1 minute is crazy

[@adityabali1939]

but for real though I THINK this is overpriced a bit at 3100 EUR

[@DosHemperor]

Is it just me or is the chicken teriyaki at the Malls food court constantly better than that of Chitty Wok. Hi Yaw!!!!

[@DosHemperor]

Is it just me or is the chicken teriyaki consistently better at the Mall's food court?

Are you a friend of Sam?

[@dasalpha-wollmut5646]

This could be an episode of ridiculous Reverb listings. 3000 Bucks for for a 2 input audio interface? What the hell did they put inside of this that justifies this bonkers price and who the hell is going to say "Hey I definetly need this, there is no way I'll take the 100 different other products that cost a FRACTION of this piece of gear? What was going on inside their heads when they were engineering this and determining the listing price?? This is obviously aimed at pro studios, but which pro studio is gonna get this as an interface? Ridiculous

[@Beatz0-dn9pj]

Everyone here is complaining about the price so hard Y’all clearly don’t pay to play

[@JamesJones-th3ml]

I thought this thing was disappointing man. Sweetwater has a picture with the digital meters working and lighting up but in the back of the SPX the Digital stuff is MISSING LOL You have to buy the thing for another grand man its ridiculous how these companies think this crap is worth so much real money that some of us work a tough physical job like Flooring... Who can afford this crap? Only youtubers with their own Successful channels that get it for free!!! and Studio companies that actually make money from mixing... People like me man I get disappointed when I see things like this... EXTRA EXTRA Read all about it you can't afford this so we took it out! LMAO ridiculous!

[@111imcool]

Incoming the broke people talking about how cheap they can get a pre-Sonus knowing damn well that they can’t get anywhere near the sound of the Neve product and justifying them saving money, even though their music comes out not to their stand

[@AustinKorte]

Imagine being able to afford a $3,000 audio interface.

[@Beatz0-dn9pj]

Imagine spending thousands of dollars on your car yearly and then saying that you’re not able to afford a $3000 interface

[@AustinKorte]

@@Beatz0-dn9pj Yeah, because having a $3000 audio interface is equally as important as having a reliable mode of transportation. 🙄

[@Beatz0-dn9pj]

@AustinKorte if paying that much for transportation is more important than still recording low quality GarageBand iphone music then salute brother

[@AustinKorte]

@@Beatz0-dn9pj You don’t need a $3000 interface to record good music. That’s idiotic.

[@mitallast]

This price makes no sense!
