Philip OKeefe Posted June 18, 2005 Share Posted June 18, 2005 "The acquisition of AMS Neve by SAE represents a new Genesis in the world of audio technology." Considering Gabriel's recent purchase of SSL, I found that last line a bit "punny" - I wonder if it was intentional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotown Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 We are cleary living in the midst of a very rapidly changing recording biz climate. The good news is that many, many, many more people have access to tools that are allowing them to make decent sounding recordings. The bad news is that many/most of those who are heavily invested in old school hardware oriented studios are struggling to survive.

John Sayers Posted June 19, 2005 Share Posted June 19, 2005 I'm not surprised to hear this as The SAE is the biggest owner of Neve consoles world wide - They bought up all the old neves in this country by buying EMI and Festival's studios.. When Tom took me through the Byron Bay headquarters we came across the computer room with 60 Macs which Tom claimed Mac had agreed to replace every six months. I undertand AKG pays him to use AKG mikes in all his facilities. cheers john Studio Design Forum Studios Under Construction Home Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
