Things change. Along came digital workstation technology \u2013 less warm and much less intuitive, to be sure, but cheaper and very flexible \u2013 to put more mixing power within reach of the smaller studio.<\/p>\n
But guess what\u2026 not everything changed. People welcomed digital\u2019s flexibility and power, but they also wanted Neve\u2019s analogue warmth. The trouble was, that meant juggling two mixing surfaces and spending valuable control room time sorting out a mess of wiring and a mass of interface problems. We at Neve knew we could come up with a better solution.<\/p>\n
Welcome to the brave new world<\/p>\n
The brief to our design team wasn\u2019t just to create a brand new console that encapsulates the best of both (digital and analogue) worlds. We also asked them to see if there wasn\u2019t a way to make owning a Neve console a realistic prospect for smaller studios \u2013 without compromising on sound quality.<\/p>\n
They did it.<\/p>\n
Genesys, hand-built in our UK factory, combines superb analogue design and true Neve preamp circuitry with hands-on DAW control and connectivity for Pro Tools, etc. And it\u2019s modular, meaning you don\u2019t have to wait until you can afford the full 64-fader system to become a Neve-equipped studio. In its basic 16-fader configuration you get 16 channels of mic\/line preamps plus 16 channels of DAW mixing and 32-channel analogue summing at mixdown. And eight auxiliary buses, and eight group buses. And 5.1 monitoring.<\/p>\n
There\u2019s a \u2018classic Neve\u2019 look and feel to the controls, but take a closer look and you\u2019ll see they\u2019re ultra modern too: every switch is \u2018soft\u2019. The benefits go far beyond letting you customize your set up to suit the way you work. It also means every routing decision and every switch setting can be saved and instantaneously reset. Add the legendary sounding Neve analogue EQ and dynamics cassettes and you can instantly recall these settings too. Just think of the reconfiguration time that saves when you\u2019re juggling multiple projects in your studio.<\/p>\n

Analogue Design with DAW Control
\nIn the beginning, there was analogue, and it was good. It was warm, it was intuitive, and Neve\u2013with the industry\u2019s favourite mic preamps, flying fader automation and hand-built-in-England quality and reliability\u2013was the brand to own. If you could afford it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12841,"template":"","meta":[],"pwb-brand":[164],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[1026],"product_tag":[495],"class_list":["post-12840","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","pwb-brand-neve-ams","product_cat-consolas","product_tag-neve-ams","first","onbackorder","taxable","shipping-taxable","product-type-simple"],"brands":[{"id":164,"name":"NEVE-AMS","slug":"neve-ams"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/12840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"pwb-brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pwb-brand?post=12840"},{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=12840"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=12840"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/masteringmansion.com\/pro-audio\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=12840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
