It won’t take long for any discussion about the sound of analog consoles to veer into the desirability of Neve boards, and for good reason. Their harmonic coloration and open soundstage, sometimes subtle and other times eye-opening, make the Neve tone a “must have” for engineers, producers, and musicians across the Earth. Knowing that a large-format console is out of reach for the typical DAW user, Rupert Neve Designs has tapped into 60 years of experience to create the
Recording a guitar amplifier is easy, but recording one well can be quite tricky. In addition to the guitar and the amp, the acoustics of your recording space play a big role, as do mic placement and the microphone itself. This article is intended to be a quick primer to point you in the right direction when buying a microphone to record your guitar amp.

Taking that into consideration, I also wanted this

Many years ago, you would need a large mixing console and a big tape machine (or robust computer) if you wanted to multi-track-record a band with the members playing simultaneously. However, technological and engineering advances have completely changed that. Now, you can do it with an audio interface and your smartphone! Why a smartphone, though? Well, maybe you have a smartphone, but not a computer. Perhaps you’d rather lug around a lighter load when traveling for remote recording gigs. Either way, downsizing your recording setup is an
