The console at the heart of the music

[DojoOfCool]

I recorded on that console I worked at Sound City when that board was delivered. Nights when there wasn't anyone booked I would record friends or experiment on mixing ideas. Good times back then.

There is something to be said for good old analog gear, and I can think of no better place, or no better hands, for that board to be in. So cool to think how many songs that have touched and changed lives, were mixed on that board.

Just love Dave, nicest guy in the business

Sylvia Massy has the Other Neve Console that was in the B Room Studio at Sound City. She's a great Engineer/Producer.

I have to say. I have been listening to music for 50+ years. This is what it is all about! Pure, Real Sound!

[derrickwilson]

Godspeed, Mr. Neve. Thank you for all you have done. You will be sorely missed.

[Franklin-j]

Dave Gs purpose in life was to inspire and he certainly does. Also a super nice guy

[xtraflo]

This is the kind of board I'm working with in my Sound Recording class in college. Very intimidating if you're a newcomer ...

[duane]

I HAVE THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THIS AMAZING BOARD. I REALLY APPRECIATE DAVID GROHL'S IDEA TO DOCUMENT THIS. ALSO- HIS OTHER MASTERPIECE DVD DOCUMENTARY IS " SONIC HIGHWAYS " THESE 2 DVDS RESIDE IN MY SACRED DVD VAULT. I OWN 1000s BUT THOSE 2 MADE THE CUT.

Watch "Sound City;" it's free on YouTube right now. The life of the Neve board is such a good story

[gtndrums]

60 minutes ? More like 1 and a half ...

Rupert Neve was a genius. RIP Mr. Neve

A Neve is the Rolls Royce of consoles, but that particular Neve must be one of the best ever. The 70s Neves are the best. 80s Neves started to copy SSL and they're just not so good. But that 8028 on which they cut Nevermind must be the best gear to cut a rock record ever.

I wish more musicians used this type of sound board. Music today is too computer animated now.

[TaylorMade]

Well, Analog has been around for a hundred years. If it didn't work it would have been replaced years ago!

[williamjones]

The Neve console that was at Montserrat has found its way to Subterranean Sound Studios in Toronto where it is undergoing restoration and upgrades.

[finscreenname]

The thing that leaves me kind of wondering is why didn't Dave just buy the studio, redo the place and just keep going? Like he said he moved the board just down the street. They talk up the studio room as being the best in the business even though buy mistake. Why not keep the two together?

[cnance]

Put me on the list that if as long as I am alive please call me if it's ever there is no funds to keep this board alive

[merlinidlehands]

Whatever Happened to the soundboard that was IN The Grand Ol Opry wasent that one also made by the same guy? ONLY MUCH BIGGER and BETTER?

[Tomatofury]

If neve's are rolls royce's ssl's are the bugatti's, & the API's are the mclarens
