Anyone going for this? I just completed my Neve library with the 33609 compressor. And received a $25 coupon for doing so!

31102 is a 1084, essentially. Fantastic EQ. 1081 is one of the world's favorite EQs. Hard choice. I'd probably give the 31102 the edge *unless* you have the 1073 mk II. If so, get the 1081.

I'm thinking about the 1081. A coupon would have made the decision a lot easier 😀 Will have to demo it again...

I like the 31102 also. The only improvement would be a larger gui. Actually it would be great if UA would make all the Gui's sizable. But don't bother with that until Console 2 has Control Surface support!

I need your advice regarding this new sale. My last purchase was a custom 3 bundle. So I chose API Vision, API 2500 and Studer. Last week I received a 50 € coupon and I almost bought Cooper delay (I love it but never bought it!). Now there is this NEVE sale… hum! I don‘t have NEVE 88RS in my collection, my channel strips are UA 610, API Vision and NEVE 1073. I use Apollo Twin Duo (love this piece of gear, fantastic for my work flow but have the dsp problem). I‘m going to demo 88RS next week. The instrument that I record a lot is acoustic guitar, mainly fingerpicking. Do you think that 88RS is a wise choice?
Thank you!!!!!!!

Considering the unison preamps you already have, and assuming you only have the apollo twin duo (i.e. no other DSP chips) I would probably give the 88RS a miss. It's best for mixing IMO, the EQ is fantastic, but 2 DSP chips isn't enough to make the most of it. I do use it for tracking through with my Apollo sometimes, but as you have the 610, 1073 and vision I wouldn't say you need it. If you're planning to add more DSP it might be worth it though.

Neve 1073 have recorded some nice acoustic guitars (having the right mic, a 57 is already great). I just bought it, also thinking of the 88RS. For electric guitars, i prefer a 610, especially the A when di-ed

31102 or 1081? Cannot decide....
31102 was one of my two favorite UAD EQ's before the current range of MK2's came out. However, since the MK2's, I no longer use it.

I had a £40 thank you coupon from last month and used it to pick up the Neve 36609 for £35, then got sent a £20 coupon. Will probably save that for end of month, early next month. All these sales, promo's and coupons I'm starting to run out of plugins to buy :(

Yeah I have the 1073 mkii and its quite something.
I dont have enough cores though to use it on many tracks.
Figured that maybe the 31102 would be nice due to the instance count I would get.

I now use the Pultec MK2 instead of the 31102. They're obviously very different plugins - I often have to use Bax together with the Pultec to get the same flexibility - but I think the end result is worth it.

I just got the 31102 and the new SSL for 24dollars with coupons. I have all NEVE now. Used the 31102 on a new metal mix on the kick, snare and tons and LOVE IT. Pretty straight forward.

I would love to buy Neve 88RS but there‘s that little problem of dsp (Apollo Twin Duo) so I‘m testing Bx_console. Sounds great and the dsp programming is so efficient!
I‘m waiting for Brainworx big sale (this month).
