1073 - How do you plan on using it?

[Horse]

I haven't tried it yet so I've no idea about how it sounds, but practically I can see a bit of an obstacle in the number of instances that you can run.

Assuming like me most people are already running their card(s) to capacity, how are you going to accomodate the 1073 when you can only get 3-5 instances per card?

Is this an EQ that you'd only expect to use on key tracks or are you going to use less of the other plugs in order to fit more in?!

Drums primarily as that is how I used em in my analogue days. Then hit freeze and come back for more. LOL. Vocals for certain. Then hit that old freeze button again.

I'm actually getting a lot of use out of the 1073SE. If it turns out that absolutely need the full 1073, it'll just be on a track or two, and will just bounce down either that track or some other UAD effected tracks to make room. I have two cards and assume I'll get by like this.

Sounds great on drums, acoustic guitar and bass. And that's just the three things I've tried it so far.

Definitely utilizing the \"freeze\" function here. Sometimes I'll use a few 1073SE's if I need to experiment a bit with eq'ing a few different tracks at once, but they'll be swapped out for the big 1073 and frozen before mixdown.

I've been demoing both the 1073 and the SE version over the weekend and I'll really be using the SE version alot. I only have 2 cards at the moment but the SE version sounds great on drums (snare especially) and acoustic gtrs. I'll have to try it on more vocals because I wasn't impressed with the SE version on the vox track I was doing but maybe the upsampled version will be better.

It was tricky to audition the upsampled version on previously mixed songs since my 2 cards were hitting the meter at 80%-85% and adding 1 1073 killed playback. But I did swich out all of the URS 1084 with the UAD 1073SE and the mix sounded much better to me.

I just tried it on a demo mix I'm finshing up - SWEET! (I put it inline with with the Precision Limiter) No fuss no muss - just dialed in a little \"air\" and instant master! ( well close enough for a rocknroll demo

Looks like another flexipak will be on its way soon

I would have to freeze on individual tracks, but I like to work in groups a lot so that puts me off a little on the neve purchase. At least until more power is available (UAD-2) or the 4 card limit is raised.

i'm now totally out of power, so more than one use of even the SE is difficult. I'm not a big fan of using the same plugin over loads of tracks, so i guess it's probably not too much of a problem for new mixes.

I think the thing to beware of is that nice high shelf. If I dialed that in on a whole load of tracks together then i'd probably end up with a mix which had more 4-5k in it than i'd perhaps want to have.

Don't forget the Neve seems to be made for guitars especially (acoustic and electric)...tweak the 12k and 3.2 K and hmmmmmmm....

 

[Staccato]

I had a mix that was lacking air, I placed thw 1073 on the cymbals, elec guit, vox, and what a difference. The cymbals and voc gained the most. The HPF section is also great and the low shelf interacts very nicely with it.

I'll have to break ranks here: I don't think the SE high end holds a candle to the 1073.

SO for the processor challenged. Answer this. WHat is the overall consensus of the 1073SE verses the URS version?????

I cant do a test till wednesday or thursday. Just curious as to others opinions before I form my own.

the 1073SE goes a long way! I don't like FREEZE because you can not edit a frozen track so i use offline processing and it really kicks ass!

Not sure what you responded to, just reiterating. I am asking for a comparison....URS N vs 1073SE

In Sonar 5, you can freeze, then remove all from the effects bin, and edit more. Even with the effects still there, you can split clips and copy and paste. But if you unfreeze, you lose all edits.

I dont own the URS plugins. sorry.

For those of you who own Nuendo and SX you should try offline processing.
Its undo-able even after you reopen a project and you can remove and replace all processes.

To me the SE still beats the URS soundwise. The SE is more..uh..alive.. The URS sounds a bit harsher as well..

Is this better than using the freeze function in Nuendo? I'm not fond of Nuendo's freeze for the same reasons others have mentioned so I normally offline process.

I can't give an 'overall' consesus' becuase I'm only one person , but I find the 1073SE to sound much sweeter than the URS Neve.

I'm also using the 1073SE instead of the Cambridge, where fine surgery isn't needed.

I've never used the freeze fuction on Nuendo, I prefer the old school export audio and then cut up etc... and re imported back into Nuendo.

1 good thing about exporting plugin on racks, is that you can't keep pissing around with them once they are done, so you get on with something else
