The Shelford Channel: Origin Story

[@drampadreg1386]

There is a good reason so many people cried last February when Rupert Neve died, still working at 94 years young bright as ever. In fact brilliant, and one of a kind. RIP, hope you are having a great time out in the universe or where ever you went. Where ever it is, I know it will sound much better very soon! OH, and thanks for training those young people at Rupert Neve Designs, keeping some of you around for a few more generations seems pretty smart to me.

this background music makes me think at the end he's gonna say, "so please, just give as little as $5 a month to help provide sunlight to studio engineers worldwide"

This is one of the best product videos I've ever watched. I'll watch it again just to watch it.

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

I am so honored to own this gorgeous piece of kit - it's an homage to all that Rupert gave the world in his beautiful designs. I certainly don't do it justice, but it feels great to have invested in this wonderful company.

The Shelford Channel is one of the greatest channel strips in the world. Once you hear it on your music, you will never want to use any other channel strip but the Shelford again.

These guys from NEVE, all of them, transmit good vibes. And I´m saying that while I´m playing with my Amek and Neve stuff....Thanks Neve team!!!!

[@atta1798]

Way to go Josh! Awesome explanation!!! RJ~!!!

[@dspoet1]

I have one. My best studio purchase.

[@theredfaceofficial]

These strips are modern classics! Love my Neve gear. Keep up the great work RND 👍🏽👍🏽

this video is oddly so calming.

[@mattg1094]

I bought one as the one high quality piece for my home studio... this thing allowed me to record out amazing tracks... each one mono- with different flavors in... then mixed down (through) while learning the basics.. simply breathtaking how pristine yet exclusively signatured this channel strip is. It can be squeaky clean, or violently warm- all in a way that makes tracks sound pro. Thank you for changing my world, Rupert Neve. @kalaniandthekompany on soundcloud :)

[@miltonmagik]

Hi MC, so, you use the Shelford for tracking? I thought it was for mastering only. What other pieces of gear do you use along with the Shelford?

[@mattg1094]

Milton Bass have a listen to some of our tracks. Definitely not a pro-mixer, but using the WA47, Neumann KMS105 as mics

[@davidmaraisthecampfireguit2596]

@@miltonmagik It works flawlessly in any stage of the recording process.. It is utterly amazing for tracking and also wonderful for mixing/mastering too - it would be nice to have two for a stereo signal though, for mixing and mastering, but a single one (for the solo home recordist) is brilliant for tracking.

[@prospectnyc]

I had two of these that I had to sell for financial reasons. Trying to buy another one soon. I miss it dearly. It makes everything sound amazing.

[@dspoet1]

I feel that. I have one as well but for some reason, can't sell it.

Hi guys, if I would like to add a different Preamp how do I bypass the Shelford one but keeping the Shelford EQ & Comp etc ? Kind Regards, P

[@balldip]

I have two shelford channels and I love them so much. When I consult with streamers or youtubers this is usually my go to now. In my case, it was the best kidney I ever spent 🥴

[@b.hornetiii.6771]

Is it great also for mastering songs or just for tracking?

[@balldip]

@@b.hornetiii.6771 The silk options are great for mastering! Also has some nifty features for mastering. I’m out of the audio engineering space now as I wanted to move on to different endeavors, but I’d still highly recommend this piece!

Im focus on recording vocals & I bought the Shelford Channel today instead of Portico II Channel I hope I made the right decision.

[@RupertNeveDesigns]

Thanks Kenneth, we've seen great engineers prefer one over the other, but the Shelford is absolutely a great choice, and from what we've seen it tends to be the first choice for most engineers.

[@RupertNeveDesigns]

We think so, shelford channel in our opinion encapsulates the best of the classic designs just with more versatility. Those classics are much loved on vocals from ranging from rock to jazz to hip hop, so it is a pretty safe bet.

[@teyerancealfred7178]

I am so interested in this unit. I want replace my Manley Core with it

[@manuellujan5625]

@@teyerancealfred7178 hello did you ever replace your manley core with the shelford? If so what do you think about the change?

[@rickythethird]

im going to get one

[@powerbreed]

Wish I could afford one of these 😞

[@shooty.deluxe]

Wish it was stereo. I would be all over it.

[@RupertNeveDesigns]

We know a lot of people with two - and the compressors can be linked for stereo operation.

[@absoluutrecords]

@@RupertNeveDesigns It was a really tough decision for me, Either 2x Shelford Channels or a Portico MBP. I went with the MBP. BUT I always find myself coming back to these videos of the Shelford channel and wonder if I made the right decision. One day....One day. But maybe you guys could do a MBP Shelford Edition? :)
