Aurora Audio Test Video - GTP8 - 8 Channel Mic Preamp

[mageasm]

the neve sounds like a neve.

[omodepelle]

Is that second clip REALLY the NEve has the guy says in the video???

IMHO sounds much nicer the first one...

Could someone tell wich is wich??

Thanks!

Own both Aurora and Neve. Yes, definitely not a "NOT". Only a fool who haven't used or heard one would say such a foolish thing.

@swollenpickle09

How would you say they stack up to each other? I am interested in the gtq2 a or the ams neve 1073 but they are pricey and have no affiliation with Rupert. But the Geoff Taner work for neve and people say his model goes beyond the 1073 but i think it has less eq. i just ordered some portico 5012's after hearing them and because they had a great sound and were very musical. Any way just wondered if you can shed some light. p

[MarkyGoldstein]

So which one was the Neve now? The first or the second?

[esdistinto]

Second: Neve

[reflixtinian]

how can u tell which is better? the sound comes from the camera mic ...............

[shortbread93]

that makes no sence what are you talking about?

[Toolshedful]

@reflixtinian ...and streaming through Youtube!!!

[r4uz]

@reflixtinian yeah the differences in preamp are totally not in the order of importance as the downgrading quality of

1) the camera mic and

2) the compression of the video/audio and

3) the youtube video/audio compression

[swollenpickle09]

The Aurora sounds slighty better.

[biggnoize]

Its too bad, but the Aurora sound obviously thinner, harder and a tad bit more brittle. The Neves, when quickly a/b the portions of the video, are fuller, warmer, rounder and creamier as opposed to brittle.

[esdistinto]

WOW!!! Aurora GTP8 is the real CLASS A. Compared with the vintage NEVE, being one of the best preamps in the world, if not the best, Aurora Audio shows its incredible power.

If you close your eyes and listen first the second fragment of audio (Neve), and then the first (Aurora Audio), you will realize that Aurora is sligthly superior.

[HellBent1337]

The 2nd one sound much better imo.

[rokuez]

@HellBent1337 i think so 2

[bchamorro]

1073 preamps?

[godsizedhole]

zakvr, yeah, i just assumed if he was wrong they wouldve said so.

thanks for posting this tubadylan. love seeing other studios down time.

[zakvr]

it was never confirmed which was which. the dude just said, the 2nd one is the neve, but the AE never confirmed it?

[nojem]

Cool Geoff! Can I borrow one to do a drum shootout at my studio too?
