GAME CHANGER AMS NEVE
Late. H. Sridhar
Museek mag spoke to Mr. Shivakumar Chief
engineer at AM Studio on his experience with the
Neve DFC and here is what he had to say.
After you got the Neve DFC what is the
prominent project you have worked in AM
Studio?
Saala Khadoos (Produced by Rajkumar Hirani and
Directed by Sudha Kongara) was mixed on board
with DFC. We also did Tamasha Songs 5.1 Mix, 24
Songs 5.1 mix, Rahman Sir’s Concert in US and
many more.

Do you feel there is an advantage in terms of workflow after equipping the studio with the Neve DFC?
Definitely. It has made the mixing process even more creative and flexible. We have tailor-made the
workflow for our needs. We have complete control of Dialogue, Sound effects, Design elements,
Ambience, BGM and songs stems at any point of the mix. Auro 11.1 panning can be done directly on
the board.
Neve equaliser and compressors are amazing.
A part from their groundbreaking consoles AMS Neve also makes ground breaking outboard gear
that is a hot choice for Top Music producers in India and abroad.
The prominent Mic Preamp being the Legendary 1073 Mic Pre and compressors which is the
equipment of choice of top engineers all around the globe.
The 1073 is available as 500 series modules or as Rack Mount option or a proprietary wooden
mount. The latest 1073 DPX which sports the legendary Neve 1073 preamp along with EQ on a 2 U
rack module is a super hit product worldwide.
At the Musik Messe 2016 at Frankfurt I happen to interview Mr. Robin Porter who was the lead
designer for some outstanding products at AMS Neve including the Genesys consoles, the Neve
8816 Summing Mixer and the recreation of the legendary BCM-10 Mark II.
