Universal Audio Neve 88RS review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Neve 88RS plugin delivers rich, vintage sound, with a responsive interface that enhances its usability. Its dynamic processing features are straightforward, and the EQ section, while visually basic, produces an impressive range of tones. However, the hefty price tag for a single plugin may deter budget-conscious users, and the lack of an external sidechain is a notable downside. Despite these drawbacks, the 88RS stands out as a valuable addition to the UAD platform, appealing to those who appreciate classic analog warmth in their digital mixing environment.

Verified via Mixonline

According to this Mixonline interview with producer Al Schmitt, an M7 was used to track Turn Up the Quiet.

Noting Krall’s preference for tracking vocals and piano live with the musicians, Schmitt recorded and mixed at 192k via Capitol’s Neve 88RS 72-input console, with very little post-production editing.
