Neve Genesys Black

“It sounds amazing. The desk has just taken everything to the next level. We love it - we could have had any console we wanted but the Genesys Black just did everything that we wanted it to do”.

Jeff Greenberg: “It is a fantastic compromise between old and new ways of recording because it delivers the great analogue sound of Neve, while easily enabling modern hybrid workflows,” Mike Piersante: “The Genesys was always my first choice, the sonics of the analogue path, combined with the 1073 preamps and vintage EQs, is a feature we all love. This desk delivers a lot of flexibility and gives us options we didn’t have at the studio we co-ran in the past.”

“I did a tracking session on a Genesys Black and I was very, very happy with the results. The preamps sounded great. I was able to sit down and it immediately felt ‘familiar’ to me. It was a really great experience.”

“Working on a large format analogue console is a must for big recording sessions, and when you combine that with the really amazing sounding of 40 channels of 1073 preamps and 1084 EQs, you have a great place to start any session. We also like having the ability to save individual analogue channel strips and recall them in an instant. That makes a big difference to how fast we can set up a session.”

“I mainly work ‘in-the-box’ however a lot of the music I write isn’t beats and synth led, it’s acoustic instruments that need to be well recorded to sound great. By investing in Genesys Black, I’ve been able to declutter and make the whole place a much more inspiring place. I’ve taken out all but a few bits of outboard. Instead everything is right there, hidden in plain sight and all to hand.”

“To say I am blown away by this console is an understatement. The combination of Genesys Black and GenesysControl has completely revolutionised the way I work. I get all the benefits of Neve’s fabulous analogue EQ and dynamics without having to sacrifice any of the convenience of working ‘in-the-box’. It is transformative.”

“We chose to install a Genesys Black G32 in our main studio and a Genesys G32 in our second room. Having two very different analogue EQ designs and being able to A/B them is a very valuable tool for teaching. Also having the choice of swapping EQ cassettes from one room to another to create a full ‘vintage’ analogue desk or a small format equivalent of an 88R is incredible.”
