THE NEVE STUDIO
This 8088 Vintage Neve console is the largest in the world. The left hand side of the console was the original West-Coast Motown Board. It then resided in Madonna's studio Brooklyn before Yoshiki, who was considered 'the Beatles' of Japan, purchased the console. It arrived at Sonic Ranch in 2005.
The magnificent Neve tracking room is very adjustable with its ability to configure multiple acoustics scenarios within this large, beautiful space.
This picture of the Neve Tracking Room, shows a collection of Black Panel Fender amplifiers and a collection of vintage Tweed amplifiers.
The big tracking room works excellent for live sessions with an additional two isolation booths, aside from the two in the control room.
Ambiance in this room can be modified with large doors along the walls that reflect when closed and absorb when opened.
These keys are extraordinary works of art.
This is a reverse angle towards the very large control room window, with the oriental rugs that can be configured to taste.
The backroom features Salvador Dalà lithographs from the Casanova Series.
You can see through this Vincent Van-Hoff diffusion wall to the control room all the way through the large tracking room.
This room is very flexible in all of the different soundscapes depending on the positioning in the room and the vintage rugs.
