I liked the 3db more on the vocals. Also great 500 EQ

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!!

I adore this series of yours. I often snip certain sections of the audio on these videos - and then compare the dry with the processed signals in my DAW. If its a particular piece of gear I am considering purchasing, I will often try to emulate the settings with plugins and see how close I can get. As close as I can get many times, there are only a handful of units that are close enough where I physically dont want the hardware. I do feel that the longer we practice this craft, and our ears become more refined- the more we naturally gravitate to analog. I envision a workflow similar to yours at some point, with or without the console. Thanks for inspiring me

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@gavinsaunders01]

I love this eq, just enabling it adds something. Took me a little while to get the most out of it. Sounds hi fi and works on just about anything. A little goes a long way but I also found boosting the low band a lot then cutting the mid band to balance it works a little like the pultec trick. Vocals definitely, also can sound huge on kick, snare and bass.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@nashvillelicks5247]

Love it. You’re the best Dave. Final mix sounded great by the way

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Much appreciated!

[@djscorpie]

Great musical eq ! thanks for the video

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Glad you like it!

[@weschilton]

I agree about this EQ being nice on vocals. I just finished a mix where I used this on male vocals and I liked it better than the plugins I was using. Its actually really nice on distorted electric guitars too!

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Cool! Thanks for watching

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@KacyDennis]

Sounds fantastic. You can really see and hear the thought and care that Rupert Neve himself put into the design of this EQ. You were able to quickly bring these tracks to life. Thank you for putting this demo together.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching

[@bryanknuffman9464]

Great sounding EQ. Thanks for vid coach CheerZ

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@projekct_amk]

Awesome, was given a Fredenstien Bento 8 Pure Analogue, no idea how to use or connect it, but im looking into the modules! This may be my first one. Thanks David

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

You're very welcome

[@WideMixSoundworx2626]

Now i want it, thanks

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Any time!

[@africanrevolution3551]

WOW!!! The Kick and the snare!!!!! WOW!!!! Thanks for the video!!! Hope you have 500 series unit demo coming up Really looking at getting into 500 series

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

More to come!

[@africanrevolution3551]

@@MixingMusicAnalog🙏🙏Hope you demo a 500 compressor unit next Thank you 🙏🙏

[@52TeleGuy]

Sounds great. Looks like I need 2 of them. I’d use it on guitars and drums. Maybe i’ll use a pair on the master bus to shape the whole track.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I like having two of everything for stereo use as well :)

[@kellygreenii]

Huge talent. Well recorded….

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@pedalscapes]

Nice contrast to the Pultec on this song... the lows seemed OTT on snare and Aco on my speakers.... Cheers 😎

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@williambyrne6855]

Crazy the 551 is recreating the sound I'd expect to hear if I were next to the drum kit. Also love the utility of the XL-305.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Thanks for watching!

[@therealliveguy]

First! Also…great EQ’s.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

NICE! Thanks for checking out the video

[@trondaskvik4784]

Great video....i really like the neve stuff, but im afraid to make the commitment in buying before knowing what else is out there, could u recommend 1 EQ to rule them all in 500 series format for meta musicl applications mainly?

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

no such thing. There is no 1 EQ to rule them all. That's a fantasy, sorry

[@gretamcconkey3459]

I have always loved your videos but uncle Dave I think its crazy to have to go to the other side of the room to make a change. Just subbed you so don't be mad.. I just couldn't do it

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

The "other side of the room" is literally less than 3 feet away and it works for me

[@Avyukkta]

Hi, I got this unit and while boosting highs 8k and 16k even at 3dB gain emits a significant hiss noise. Is that normal? I have the 551 powered by SM pro juicer rack 1. Cables used is a pair of xlr to trs Mogami 3 ft. 2534 cable.

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

I dont have that issue

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Sounds Great! I use my Rupert NEVE “SHELFORD CHANNEL” since it was released. Gives me that Nice Tone that they’re known for. ( Low & Mids base off different units besides the Highs ). Thx for the Video. George 🎚🎧

[@MixingMusicAnalog]

Very cool!
