The Waves Scheps 73 is a colorful 3-band EQ modeled on the classic 1073 console's EQ and mic preamp module and developed in association with world-renowned mixing engineer Andrew Scheps ( Adele, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Black Sabbath, Lana Del Ray, Metallica, Jay-Z.) Empowered by Waves cutting-edge technologies, the Scheps 73 EQ features interrelated bands that adhere to the 1073’s original specs and precisely emulate its behavior: a fixed 12kHz high-frequency band, switchable low and midrange bands with cut and boost controls, and an 18dB/octave high-pass filter. Additionally, for the first time ever, a little-known 10kHz midrange band discovered in the original 1073 schematics but operable only on the rare 1078 channel strip has been modeled and incorporated into the plugin. And to top it all off, the Waves MS matrix has been added to let you apply different equalization to mid and side stereo content. Using innovative procedures to model the acclaimed Marinair transformer, Waves has meticulously captured all the sonic characteristics of the 1073, including its harmonic distortion. These overtones were tweaked to perfection by Andrew Scheps himself, resulting in beautiful and authentic saturations.
Whether used for recording, mixing or mastering, Scheps 73 lets you enjoy all the warm tones of a fabled piece of studio hardware, in-the-box!
In this video, learn how to get the classic Neve sound through the UAD Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Plug-In Collection on your UA Audio Interface or UAD-2 hardware. Learn more about the UAD Neve 1073 Collection at: -1073 on Drums - 1073 on Bass - 1073 on Vocals - “The new Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Collection sounds amazing. Super warm, and just like the real thing.” - Trevor Lawrence Jr. (Eminem, Herbie Hancock, Dr. Dre) The Neve 1073 Channel Amplifier is the most revered preamp and EQ circuit ever designed. Introduced in 1970, this hallowed class-A, transistor mic/line amp with EQ, epitomizes the beautiful 'Neve sound,' with unparalleled clarity and bite.
The new Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Collection can be used within your DAW for mixing, or as a mic preamp with UA Audio Interfaces in Unison mode for tracking. By the end of this video, you will learn how to add the classic Neve character and dimension to drums, bass and vocals. While mixing these instruments, you’ll begin to understand the workflow of the channel strip as well as its key features.
Starting with the 1073’s famous “red knob,” which changes both line gain and mic levels, you’ll learn how to operate the classic Neve preamp & EQ controls to dial in the perfect amount of warmth, color and tasteful distortion on drums. Gannon demonstrates this on the kick, snare, and overheads of his mix, showing you how they sound with and without the Neve 1073.
Next, learn how to shape the tone of a bass using a combination of EQ and tweaking the preamp impedance. And of course, the Neve 1073 is famous for making vocals sound realer than real – learn how to craft a too-good-to-be-true vocal sound by dialing up the gain, and adjusting the EQ for a silky smooth vocal that sits perfectly in the mix. “The Neve 1073 plug-in adds another dimension to the sound. The harmonics are fantastic and the output fader lets you drive the line amp harder and reduce output level just like I do on the console.” - Ryan Hewitt (The Avett Brothers, Red Hot Chili Peppers) To learn more music production and recording studio tips, be sure to visit the UA Studio Basics Blog: ♫ Song Info ♫ 'ARP 273' By 7 Come 11 ft.

Mix engineer Tommaso Colliva on recording Drones: 'Matt always tracks the vocals by himself. I set things up for him, and the mic pre we use is always a Neve 1073, usually with an 1176 compressor. I dial in some settings and he may nudge things up or down, depending on the kind of vocals he’s tracking. We also very occasionally used a Mercury M76 tube mic pre, and on a few songs Matt wanted to hold the mic in his hand, but we didn’t like the sound of a dynamic mic too much, so we ended up using a FET47 which I took out of the mic mount and wrapped in foam.
In this Sound On Sound interview, on the 'Jumble Sale Studio' section, a bunch of Jenkinson's gear is mentioned. Among them, the Neve 1073 Mic Preamp. 'It's a ragtag collection of stuff, and there's no discernible overall 'vintage' rationale behind the collection as a whole. The most significant pieces are a Roland TR909, TB303, SH101, V-Synth XT and V-Bass 99, Neve 1073 mic pre, AKG BX15 spring reverb, TC Electronics D2 delay, DBX 1066, a self?made mechanical reverb, Tom Jenkinson's custom?made spring reverb.' However, it is not specified that the item that Tom uses is actually the Neve 1073 DPD, which can be spotted in the interview's second picture(right under the fan.
The History Of The Neve 1073 Formed in 1961, Rupert Neve & Co. Was focused from the beginning on designing and building the highest quality professional audio components.
1073 Eq
After moving from Rupert's house to a newly built factory in the late 1960s, Neve went on to create many iconic products including the 2254 Compressor/Limiter in 1968, the 1073 Mic Pre/EQ in 1970, and the 1081 Mic Pre/EQ in 1973. Using Class A discrete, transistor designs, meticulously hand-wired and built to last, Neve became the world standard for excellence in broadcast and recording consoles. The history of the Neve 1073 goes back to the summer of 1970, when Rupert Neve & Co. Delivered a model A88 console to Wessex Sound Studios.
Not only was it the first 24 track desk ever installed in London, but it came complete with a special upgrad, the newly designed 1073 mic pre/EQ channel input module. The first rock group to record on this console was King Crimson, who made their third album in a row at Wessex, the controversial album Lizard. And surely the name of the album's main character, Prince Rupert, was strictly a coincidence! The 1073 Becomes a Classic The 1073 was an instant hit, and it remains the most desirable Class A discrete transistor mic preamp to this day.
What made the original 1073 stand out was the tone. Thick and warm with a mid-forward presence and a smooth top end, it created a tone that sat beautifully in the mix. As Rupert himself admitted, this was mostly due to the input and output transformers. The input transformer was manufactured by Marinair (Radar) of Harlow, UK, and later by St.
Ives Windings (now Carnhill). The output transformer was developed for over a year prior to the release of the 1073, and was co-designed and manufactured by Marinair.
The 1073 was another step in the evolution of mic preamps found in vintage Neve consoles. Previous models were the 1063, 1065, 1066, 1067, and 1070, and future models 1076, 1078, 1079, 1081, 1083, 1084 and 1095 (to name only a few!). The Latest Reissues of the Neve 1073 For those who can't acquire a vintage 1073, Neve has got you covered. The company still manufactures the 1073 to the original hand-wired specs. It also offers a few less costly variations.
For the 500 Series format, Neve has split the preamp and EQ sections to offer them separately as the 1073LB and 1073LBEQ (where LB stands for 'Lunch Box'). Fans of just the mic preamp stage can also get a pair of them in a standard 19' rack space in the 1073 DPA (dual preamp) model.
And if you need those with digital connectivity, the 1073 DPD will do nicely. If you have to have your pre and EQ too, then the 1073 DPX gives you a pair of classic pre/EQs, along with extras (hence the 'X') like DI, phantom power, inserts, level meters, and headphone out. Their latest innovation, the 1073N, which also has a DI and phantom power, uses updated components and circuitry to allow backward compatibility as well as being a standalone preamp. You can pop it in and out of your BCM10 and take it with you on the fly, giving you the best of both worlds.
If you're in need of a modern reproduction of the Neve 1073, you don't have to look much farther than the Neve brand. Studio favorites like the, and ensure that you can use this style of mic pre, no matter how much open rack space you have. Throughout the years, the legacy of the 1073 has also been continued by other brands. The echoes the timeless 1073 feature set, while, and Desktop mic pre remain best sellers year-in/year-out. More modern pieces of gear that fit the bill include the, and, which brings together both a 1073-style pre and 1176-style compressor. In the world of software emulations, the leaders in the field have all put in their work to accurately model the Neve 1073., and have all created 1073-style software that is sure to deliver what you need while working in the box.
Favorite Mic Pre Bought my first Apollo and dove in demoing all available plugs. This was an instant winner. The Pre with Neve EQ made every mic sound amazing. This is great to use in UNISON on the way in, if you just want some Neve EQ in a mix use the 1073SE Legacy that comes with the bundle and save DSP.
UA Prices on plug-ins in the store will drop based on what you already own, causing some confusion. UA should fix this and just show 'PURCHASED' instead of the reduced price or 'UPGRADE' instead of buy now to minimize some of these bad reviews on an excellent plug-in.
It SOUNDS magnificent. I have been really enjoying the sound of this new 1073!! It sounds so much better than the (now) Legacy version that it has actually made me angry a few times. BECAUSE although it sounds phenomenal, she's a pretty aggressive resource hog. I would love to get involved in a UA Forum about which hardware to add so that I can have more DSP with the Apollo 16, just so I can use this one more often!! (Anybody?) I have had some strange 'crashes' lately with the UA software but I'm not sure if it's this guy or if it's been since I downloaded and applied the 'Culture Vulture' version of the newest UA software.
Neve 1073 Preamp Eq
All that to say, SCOTTY!! I NEED MORE POWER!!! The plug-in sounds great though.
It's one of my favorite ones so far. Almost Like the Real Thing Hello ladies and gents! What is cool to me about owning a UAD-2 is that I get access to a lot of the great gear a mix artist would use to mix a record, and with the Apollo series I get some very nice emulations of gear a recordist would use to record a record. With the 1073 Preamp and EQ-I find it interesting that people are using this to MIX, as this piece of gear is a workhorse for recording; knowing the power load of the gear in the real world (Neves take the more power than most gear-hence why Neve 500 series are not as beefy) it cracks me up that it is killing the DSP. Suggestion: Print the sound of the 1073. That is how recordists do it in the real world. Toshiba e studio 255 toner.
Use SSL to mix.as SSL is the big record MIX sound. To the people who are giving this 1STAR! The people who are giving this 1STAR are the idiots who don't know how to use this properly! This isn't a plugin that you want to use everywhere you go.
Neve 1073
Well not the new 1073 as it will kill your DSP resources really quickly. The reason for that is because it's SO FUCKIN WELL MODELED! You want to use this on the way in through your Apollo for the Preamp and print it then in every other cases use the Legacy version for EQing. I have an OCTO card as well as a QUAD and I tend to do an 8 Channel summing mix after I've finished my mix. 8 Channels of this and you'll have something very very unique my friends!
