New AU-6144 Equalizer by DDMF (supposed Neve emulator)

I quite liked the AU reverb. Haven't tried this out yet.

cool! very inteested i. this one
Neve emulation ... On an iPad. What a time to be alive.
I am a sucker for the Neve mystique. Every studio I ever recorded in had a Neve — and it was always supposedly THE board Bowie used on "Hunky Dory" (or Lou Reed on "Coney Island Baby" or Hendrix on "Axis Bold as Love"). But Imma need to see a convincing video!
Interface slightly grainy but it's AUv3...all is forgiven
I wonder if you can save your presets after tweaking knobs. Or even if some presets are already included.
Indeed it is. And resizing the GUI in AUM creates some wonky shapes. But that high end is sounding nice right off the bat. And running 12 instances of it while DSP remains healthy. Very impressed with this developer's offerings.
Doesn't appear to be any presets under the "factory" tab in the AUM browser. But can confirm that it does allow you to save user presets.
Hope the dev will make a Roland Re201 Space Echo?
+1,000 for this. Also, LA2A and 1176 emulations ... If we're making wish lists.
Thanks, @brice.
On your phone no less!
Did you notice that he did the single-perspective thing with the knobs?

Hmm, they've got a nice looking of AUs. http://ddmf.eu/product/ Two are already ported. Hopefully the rest are coming.
Indeed
That directional EQ ... now THAT is a very cool idea! Hopefully that is one that will trickle down to iOS.
Does this work in modstep?
none of these have anything in common with this EQ but the Neve label
the 6144 is an emulation of Neves 'modern' Portico design 5033, for which an emulation exists in Yamaha consoles, certified by Rupert himself...
but it comes with a grain of salt: since the man himself has a share in profit, comments might not actually be the truth and nothing but the truth
at least it does not seem to feature one of the vintage inductor based designs
Porticos are great units for an affordable price, but the famous label might sweeten things more than they actually are ....
cheers, Tom

it's nice that you introduce the unit itself, but one cannot compare sound in VST land with IOS assuming both are identical, just for the reason of the same developer
the BIAS PC version is reportet as: well, a good amp-sim, but nothing outstanding
(I have a lot of such stuff on PC)
the IOS version is way ahead imh ears, so far that I fail to find any reason for the difference
(you know... basically all are using just water for boiling... but the dudes at PG obviously did something very right with their original version of BIAS amp)
ot: I admire your patience with the VST window mess on screen - I'd either go nuts or just smash the thing...
cheers, Tom
Cool that they got Keanu Reeves circa 2002 to narrate this video. Although all the white noise doesn't exactly inspire confidence in the man's engineering chops....
Thanks for setting that straight. I suspected it was the preamps that made the sound the Neve Sound™ anyway.
The demo version white noise is, in itself, a verdict: the reviewer apparently wasn't inspired enough to purchase the full version...
the 'magic' of vintage stuff is discrete component + coils (transformers and inductive Eqs)
anything else, including nice Eqs can be done the modern way and/or by emulation
it's a rather tiny 'extra' and incredibly hard to model properly
even Audient included a true transformer in one of their recent preamp designs
(and they do a great job in transformerless preamps)
I wouldn't expect the 6144 to be 'superior' to (say) a TokyoDawnLabs Eq, but the latter lacks the big name...
in any case the difference needs excellent source material to be noticed at all
for example a guitar played through a vintage Fender Tweed with a $1k ribbon in front of it
tracked with a proper preamp starting in the $500 range
then you may experience a true benefit, any other case is pretending...
(a Scarlett or UR22 with a 57 won't turn into some vintage magic just by a plugin)
cheers, Tom
well, you can't really blame him - we're driven by an almost insane amount of curiosity...
but funds are restricted by real life conditions
buying everything immediately for it looks cool would certainly ruin most of us ...
cheers, Tom
I see what he did there.
Thanks for the info @Telefunky. Seeing as you have the most studio-nerd-audio-gear referenced user name here, I'm taking your word for it. I'd never heard of http://www.tokyodawn.net/tokyo-dawn-labs/ Hopefully they port to iOS AU too!
thanks, but it's just a name... which also has a budget flipside:
this was recorded with a Telefunken TD26 dynamic microphone scored for 2 bucks on eBay - totally dry and unprocessed... and just fits without EQ (imho)
admit it: you'd never consider this tracked by a dynamic microphone, would you ?
(the mic was actually built by Sennheiser for the Telefunken brand in the sixties)
cheers, Tom
Sounds absolutely like a dynamic mic to me. It mushes together in a lovely way. I like the tune too.
And sure, I've owned budget gear by brands I couldn't normally afford (including a Telefunken TD21 I still miss). Looked nice in my locker or rack at least.
good ears
the TD26 is the same construction as your TD21 but with additional entries for a hypercardioid characteristic - it matches this particular guitar extremely well
that's the point: get the sound right at the source
(to squeeze something useful from this ot entry)
it's impossible to dial a microphone's character by an eq, the sound is too much influenced by various parameters of the capsule, a complex thing but easy to judge by ear
just know what's inside you locker and pick the proper one
if the room happens to drive you nuts... then it's time for eq support... or to polish the final mix just a little bit (I appreciate the less-is-more thing)
cheers, Tom
In the recording technology program I took here in Vegas, the studio had an SSL AWS 948 hybrid console that was badass. The college CSN had bought it for the Dept and the Prof. was an old Vegas studio engineering vet who brought his own gear in as well.
I remember the cool Lexicon reverbs and and old U-67 made us life recording geeks pop but the one piece of gear I was shocked by and always wanted was the red and blue Neve Portico EQ he had in a lunchbox case with a few other preamps etc. Later on I learned it was a 5033 and a newer version of the classic Neve designs but anytime he showed us EQ curves and how cutting first was better than boosting, 9 times out of 10 he'd show us on a plug in and that Neve unit.
2010 through 2012 when I went is like now in many ways, people use hybrid techniques in studios home or pro. He was a big proponent of that. Everything he played through that EQ sounded better and I was really hoping the DDMF AU iOS version came even 50% to it.
Well I'm blown away using it on drums, bass and a Rhodes piano in Auria Pro. The multiple instances didn't tax my Air 2 too bad...man this thing is surgical and sounds sweet. Not 100% like the hardware one I was around but close and better than most EQ's on iOS.
Just had to go verbose sorry, it's that cool...especially for $10! Thanks to the dev Christian Siedschlag, what a great job and I'm eyeing the Envelope reverb AU now and looking at the DDMF website if he can transfer the plugins he has out now over to iOS we will be sitting in the cat bird seat my friends.
Here's a pic of the Neve Portico unit like the college studio had for giggles...
