Artist usage

Used on A Thousand Kisses Deep, as stated by recording engineer Joe Chicarelli in this December 1, 2003 Electronic Musician interview.
I primarily used 1073 and 1095 Neves on the keyboards, acoustic bass, and guitars. I also used Brent Averill 312 API preamps and the new Focusrite 428 — the one with the meters. It's a 4-channel preamp that's reminiscent of the sound of the old Focusrite 110s. I used that some of the time on trumpet, background vocals, guitar, and a lot on the acoustic piano.
