Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1867 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 08 2003, 08:53 Mike's old NEVE 8108 32 channels console is for sale for 38,000 euros. Back to top

Olivier Group: Super Admins Posts: 1867 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Aug. 08 2003, 11:01 Maybe we should buy something that belonged to Mike, each of us putting a bit of money, and we keep it - say 2 weeks - and then send it to the next co-owner (like in sports, members of a team who won a cup). With the NEVE, the shipping cost might be slightly prohibitive though... Back to top

Mi-D Unregistered Posted: Aug. 09 2003, 03:49 Regarding the desk,possibly the worst desk Neve ever made. A truly awful electronic track routing system, which is prone to losing it's memory - and no backup memory. Very unreliable push-button switches, usually latched with the aid of matchsticks or toothpicks. A novel monitoring feature: there is no connection between the forward path and the monitor section. The only way you can hear the signal you are sending is to connect a tape machine (or recording system) and select "Input" which then sends your monitor signal back to the desk, allowing you to hear what you are doing. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot (or 3 metre)  bargepole. Back to top

Chris-Llawen Unregistered Posted: Aug. 09 2003, 11:57 in all seriousness, that did sound a bit suss didn't it?  If we don't see another reply from Mi-D it may be safe to assume it is Mike, how delicious.. Back to top
