One of our recent Tech Shop restorations is featured in the November issue of Electronic Musician!
Engineer Chris Dugan on Green Day's vintage 8068: "I was drooling going to work every day on the Neve. The 8068 is a classic rock-and-roll desk. We used it for both tracking and monitoring straight into Pro Tools 10. We used Neve 1073 preamps on the guitars, a Chandler LTD-1 for tracking vocals; bass went through the Neve 8068, and drums almost entirely through the Neve, but the kick drum went through the LTD-1 and snare went through a Vintech Audio X73."
We'll have more on the Green Day 8068 restoration in coming weeks. Stay tuned — for now go pick up the November issue of EM.
So Chris had an 8068 loaded with vintage Neve 31102's sitting there and he chose to use a Chandler LTD-1 on vocals and kick and a Vintech X73 on snare? Was the console in desperate need of recapping or something?
