Quirky controls, but a helpful UAD manual helps
This is the first Neve thing I've worked with and I initially found the controls to be completely unintuitive with cryptic board legends. However, after reading the manual to wrap my head around the conventions, everything started to make sense. Once I had these squared away, it was remarkably easy to dial in the sweet spots for my mix. The manual mentions that "there are a total of ten different areas where the circuit can clip," and I'm keen to try to find each of them!

Nught and day
Comparing the Legacy and the new one is like talking about night an day. The new one sounds wide and open. Unfortunalty is's a little bit desp hungry, much more the the API channel, but I like the fine adjustments in the EQ section.

Holy cow!
The the 1073 is probably one of the most "legendary" pieces of gear and everybody is raving about its tonal qualities. Since I never had the opportunity to get my cold dead hands on the real one, I pretty much had most of the plugins of this badboy - Slate, Waves Scheps 73 and a couple of freeware knock-offs.
Again UAD showed the competition who's boss - this rendition of the 1073 is for me by far the best sounding plugin out there. Its my go to plug for kick and snare - with only those three knobs you instantly can turn dull cardboard into punchy drums. Not to mention fiddling with the preamp for some extra hat.
BUT
With over 67% DSP you are forced to use it sparingly unless you have a couple of octos...

My goodness this is greatness!
The EQ on this channel strip is very musical and the filters don't disappoint either. I love the fact that I can track and mix my instruments and vocals and get that real Neve sound. This plugin is pure greatness!

Warm as Warm can be!
The Neve 1073 is a piece of work! I think every producer must have this in his/her arsenal!

Amazing Sound
I plugged it up on my bass and it's sounds amazing. Nice in the midrange. Sounds great when you add the pultec to it.

Automatic "Make it sound good" button
Seriously, if you need warmth or cohesion on a track/group of tracks, driving the preamp section of this plugin while matching volume with the fader can add that analog saturation you're missing. It almost acts like a tape machine in that sense. The EQ is great for initial tone shaping. Depending on the track, you may need another band or two from another EQ to take care of the surgical moves, but again, where this plugin really shines is the preamp section. Put it on a drum bus and drive it up 15 dB on the line side (match the fader to -15dB)...good things happen

Great for Subtle Shaping
I mainly use this EQ for tone shaping rather than surgical corrections. It has a great smooth tone that is great for the wide, sweeping motions. However, the Hi Q setting can also help pinpoint the attack/body of source material for more precise shaping. Overall a great EQ to have in your back pocket.

I like it
Sounds good on drums but works on any signal.
It sounds similar to Harrison c32 witch is a little better in the lowpass+highpass filters and the ultra high band.
Interesting is, the Neve 1081 black one (the dsp safer) is sounding much the same as the blue one. The harrison does not, it´s dsp safer version does sound much duller in the ultra high bands.
I prefere the Neve over the Harrison because of the stepped frequencies.

Neve 1073 is my new Go To preamp Plugin
I used to use a whole army of preamps. I used a 4-710D for guitar cabinets and drum tracks, Focusrite Isa 220 for bass guitars and vocals, and a host of ART, Roland and other preamps for various purposes. I have sold ALL of them over the past year. This plugin replaced several thousand dollars worth of gear. I now work on only my own projects so, no need to have racks full of gear to impress the punters. This leaves me with the Neve 1073 plug, the only preamp I need.

Assuages Vocal Harshness
I did demo's of the 610's and this Neve. It took out harshness in my voice and or Microphones that I normally cringe over.
I've been searching for a long time for something. Whether to sing different, find the "perfect" microphone. When it's really EQ that I needed. Lacking the expertise to apply EQ in the mix in the right places, this Neve plugin yields a recorded track that makes mixing so much easier.
I don't hear the difference Unison makes, but I use it anyways while recording. I've applied this as just a mix plugin and it does the same thing to my vocals already recorded. Magic plugin.
Makes me pine for the real Neve. I don't wanna know how much better it is.

Very happy !
Great channel strip. Nice shiny eq, easy to use and very smooth sounding. The compressor is really good from gentle controlling to domination, i was surprised how good it was at smashing things up. Does use a chunk of DSP but if you're lucky enough to have an Apollo then for track laying often you may only need 2 or 3 instances at any one time and lets face it how much is a Neve desk going to cost you ? ! Some things just work and this is one of those things. A good buy, very happy.

A must have!
Very Powerfull EQ
The sound you get from this resembles real analog so much more!
Best Channelstrip i ever heard!

Multi Use Musical EQ
It's really a pleasure to use this very musical EQ plug-in, it's punch and presence, and also the tonal effects of the gain, nice work, thanks UAD!

This is.....That S#@!
Absoulutely on Fire...Yes ABSOULUTELY!
This plugin has a soul, this plugin is too on point. I feel like as if I am using a NEVE Console...
In my studio we Have a 48 track template that is used as the NEVE RECORDING.

Neve 1081 / 1081SE Classic Console EQ Plug-Ins
1073 have Eq, I decided to buy another 1081 in my collection.
enjoyed a very flexible range of frequencies. It turns out I can regulate any band.
I tried to work just fine, and very musical! most importantly it consumes less resources compared to 1073.
