       | Neve made some of the most amazing audio equipment. Having heard
       | his analog parametric eq, and compressors there's really nothing
       | like them.

       | retire...

       | I don't know if it was his idea or not but I always loved the
       | Portico 5042 tape emulator. Want the sound of tape? Then run the
       | signal through some tape heads. A proper "hack".

       | In the audio industry he's one of those legends. Even those who
       | just consume music must've heard audio recorded by hardware based
       | on his designs.

       | From a recording engineer perspective I've always enjoyed the
       | 1073

         | He will be missed. The 1073 is awesome, I agree.

       | with them. Sounded like a great time to be alive.

       | A legend was lost. I didn't know many of his songs but my wife
       | and I love the Pina Coolatta song. One of the first 45s I
       | purchased when we moved into our first home. RIP.
