Exploring The AMS Neve 8816 Summing Mixer

[@robertjoyce8527]

Best review of that system I’ve seen. Thank you.

[@preciseaudioblog]

Man... when you drive the tracks it’s amazing!

[@michaeltwiz8477]

That song sounds freaking amazing.

[@preciseaudioblog]

Awesome video!! Thank you! I didn’t know you could drive every track (awesome)

[@audiokemestry]

Great review. Would have been nice to see you demo the mid-side functionality. Definitely an interesting and great sounding piece of gear.

[@CEEDI3GH]

Gear well defined, real must have

[@DMV-SaxTv]

Simply awesome ...

[@vintagekingproaudio]

We think so too!

[@ndavies8]

Oozes Analog character! Solid Unit

[@vintagekingproaudio]

Couldn't agree more!

[@simmermusic3894]

What a sound!!

[@thaexception3406]

Niice vibe of that song and vocals

[@ekoboydj]

this is so sick

[@japantour9136]

I'm a big fan of you＋👍🔔

[@vintagekingproaudio]

Much appreciated!

[@uplift321]

Great video! Thanks! Do you drive the gains just to demonstrate the saturation? You then reset them to unity so do you control the gain staging from the DAW send?

[@nebstaism]

nice demo song and mix

[@julianandresmedinarueda2621]

hi! iT´S amazing summing mixer-. You Know how to conect with the apollo twin x. I see one usb port ?

[@gospelpopmusic]

Hello and thanks for your video. May I daisy chain 4 8816 summing mixers to the Neve 5060 centerpiece instead of the 5059 satellite summing mixers? I'd rather connect the Neve 8816 to 4 8816 summing mixers!

[@preciseaudioblog]

Hi! Could you guys explore the SPL Mixdream?

[@robertjoyce8527]

What is the rack holding the modules at 5:23 on the timeline? Where do I find one?

[@siddharthmitra6446]

Can you tell what are you using for parallel processing on the insert mix return. You must have connected the Shadow Hill Mastering compressor on the pre fade insert.

[@FutureClock]

Is hard panning a mono instrument left & right, such as the bass shown here, worthwhile at all? Hard to find information on this. Thanks in advance.

[@greganikin7003]

I wonder how to master using mid/side option. Sending 2 tracks to any channels and use mid/side option or there is other option? Like sending to 2tr Input and then process it with mid/side?

[@thadirtyabbott33]

I could completely use this to track on but then mix on a Origin....😃👍🏾

[@jeromelester8]

...or X-Desk, when there's no place and budget left.

[@MELOPSMUSIC]

Now i know why summing analog is great !!! Better with this one than totally transparents ones. Great results....and the comp....

[@kadiummusic]

Summing itself be adds nothing.

[@artwerkmedia8616]

So am I to understand that the 8816 and the 8424 should sound identical?

[@simonellis1859]

Can you tell me how to hook one of these to my iMac please?

[@vintagekingproaudio]

You will need to use the summing mixer with an audio interface if you're working on a laptop.

[@wyrlismike]

anbody know whats better this or the 5059?

[@TheBRAZILY]

Hello , can i add analog limiter for neve 8816 ??

[@preciseaudioblog]

Could you connect 2 or more of those together?

[@vintagekingproaudio]

Yes you can! You can combine multiple 8816 units using the 2-Track bus linking feature to create a larger amount of summing that is suited to your studio requirements.

[@preciseaudioblog]

@@vintagekingproaudio Wow! That’s fantastic! Thank you!

[@holasoypablo1]

Hello i want to know if you can mix without using the transformers, only sum , thanks

[@Epochstudios]

​@@holasoypablo1that defeats the purpose of buying the unit 😂

[@carlibeguerie]

Is your pan inverted ?

[@martykyaw5443]

Hi, How to hook up 16 tracks from pro tools to 8816

[@preciseaudioblog]

Hi, you need an interface with 16 outs... you connect those to the 8816

[@martykyaw5443]

@@preciseaudioblog Thanks 🙏

[@markovukovic6589]

could you use this for mic preamplification?

[@jbachman01]

No. Line level inputs. No mic pres

[@eliassraf]

Why the clipping light on? I hear Distortion

[@ДмитрийРоманов-ц1у]

Класс.

[@holasoypablo1]

Hello can you bypass the transformers? exist an audio out transformerless? thanks

[@kadiummusic]

If you're going to that what is then the point? Summing itself adds nothing.

[@simonbarth3181]

People talk about this all wrong. Analog summing is neither better or worse than digital summing. The real cool thing about analog summing is, that you can put am analog master bus compressor on the sum, that doesnt need another route of conversion. And also this master bus compressor will work with a very high quality signal, becouse the summed audio is still stacked on top of each other.

[@drewbarka833]

PAN can not afford,,,,AWESOME

[@kadiummusic]

£2,700 to add warmth and colour? You can't find plugins to add the similar (or even better) distortion/saturation that the preamps and transformers are adding? 🤔

[@Steviee8]

"A little Crunchy" does not do this song justice. You know not everything needs to go saturated.

[@GingerDrums]

hey, just commenting to say I have tens of millions of streams as a mixing engineer on spotify, and I prefer ITB summing over any analogue summing I have tried, including API, neve and duality mixing desk. Save your money kids.

[@risingphoenix1484]

Never heard of you…..

[@DFFMADEDABEAT]

u high

[@PrestonHazard]

I have like 5 streams on Spotify but I love this thing and my 5 fans love it as well. In all seriousness it’s a high quality mixer, it’s made extremely well (don’t listen to people who say it’s built cheap, it absolutely isn’t. From experience, my 8816 has taken a beating and looks and sounds good as new) It’s worth every penny and I would 100% recommend it. Believe me, it’s well priced considering what it can do. My mixes sound so good. Think about it this way. You can spend thousands of dollars 0 per record on studio time and a professional producer, or you can spend a few thousand on good gear one time and do it yourself forever. Definitely saves in the long run. (ps I just bought mine a few months ago, so nothing on my channel or released in general was made with it. So don’t go listening to my shit and thinking that is representative of its sound lol)

[@FlewitMusic]

Sounds like you work with some really talented artists that make good music!
