Awesome plugin
It is incredible for recording, very crisp and with a lot of character, preferable over every other preamp.

1073 for EVERYONE!
I worked on a desk full of 1073 in the 80's and 90's and for decades I've been missing that "thing" being able to drop a 1073 on the input of the console page and record it on the way in is just another amazing bonus UAD has given us in this "tools treasurebox' they've been creating.
I just need to figure out how to take the Apollo on the road and use it when I mix live shows!

My ultimate stop for plugins' search: UAD
Hello everyone
I am a sound quality freak which comes to me before anything else. From pillar to post, i demoed almost every plugin on earth as i also had iLok required for some company's plugins.But when i bought my Apollo Twin Duo and demoed almost all UAD plugins, my quest ended.I bought Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ Plug-In Collection,Precision De-Esser Plug-In and now Ampex ATR-102 .
I have stopped using money for anything else but UAD plugins.The pristine sound quality i get with them is matchless.They give you the depth and harmonic clarity with smooth transience yet punchy. UAD is a dream and i have never been so impressed by anything.I will continue to amass this wealth until i have all i require.
Thank you very much UAD.

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!

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

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

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.

amazed
I got hosed on the price and it is a real DSP hog to say the least (15% on my apollo quad) but the sound is just amazing. Pity I can't use very many instances of it at once
M. Ionescu
Amazing plugin
The sound is incredible. It needs resources, but the result is excellent!
M. Krämer
very nice plugin
I use it with the Neumann TLM 103 for vocal recording and it gives the signal some kind of saturation, just makes it fat and less sounding digital. But it is very DSP hungry :) The EQ Section is very musical and works on almost every source
C. Rippy
excellent
the 1073 sounds fantastic! Big cpu hit, but worth it.
o. froning
So good
What can i say, if it sounds good it is good ! I need more thumbs.
D. Willbanks
I can't say enough about this plugin!
It adds something to guitar that I didn't even know was missing! The sound of this thing is amazing. It's so simple to get great sounds.
K. Salter
Very warm sounding
This plugin sounds great on everything I try it on. I find the presets are actually very usable too which is nice.
I have found it good to EQ some of my tracks adding and cutting certain areas to get better seperation.
Glad I made the purchase its been a very positive experience switching to the UAD plugins.
L. Fernandes
game changer
It's really amazing how UA modelled this so perfectly. Before buying I was testing it vs the API vision channel and they were pretty much "tied" until I pushed the gain on the neve. God.. The distortion is unbelievable.. Just like working with hardware. Now I always track through the neve 1073 to get the neve tone. Highly recommended.

Neve 1073
After I got my apollo, everyone said this was the MUST HAVE plug in! so i waited until it was on sale and bought it! I have yet to try it as a unison pre, but i love it as a mixing tool! glad that it has the output knob.

Neve 1073 Preamp
The Neve 1073 Preamp with my Sterling ST55 microphone sounds amazing. It's much fuller than before. Great product.

Think of it as firmware
I have an Apollo Twin Solo, so I primarily use UAD plugins for tracking and on the 2-buss. For tracking, the 1073 in Unison mode really adds a subtle 3 dimensionality and a definite mojo. I attribute this to the way Unison affects how the Apollo hardware responds, so it's as much firmware as software. You will never get this from an all-sotware plugin solution. It makes a difference! I love this thing.
