Thanks for this video it was very informative. I agree the Phoebe was more clinical and had a slight bump in higher frequencies although the Neve had that famous lift in the low end. It was very noticeable on the bass and the sax as they sounded fuller and more dense. On my system the sax sounded really thin and less bodied. I preferred the sound of the Neve most certainly, however I liked the digital features of the Wes Audio. Overall it is just hard to beat the 1073. By the way I really admired you lunchboxes.
Wes sounds quite digital and super clean. A very in the box plugin sound. Yes very modern. Would suite modern producers looking for that UAD type sparkle. The Neve sound quite thick and more analogue record warm sound. They both would work well for different flavours of work.
Love my wes audio gear (rhea, prometheus, dione) but to be honest, phoebe saturation does not sound good to me, it is too aggressive, neve saturation is much more pleasant. And digital control for preamps is a little bit too much)
I prefer the Neve but I’m a Neve nut! I liked Neve so much in my career I actually called my daughter Niamh because my wife wouldn’t let me spell in Neve.

i like WesAudio stuff, But i have to go with the Neve here
Thanks Ed for the great vid. I have to say Neve as well, but I like that coloration.

Big Thanks.

"Ed Thorne - Master of Sounds" We need a T-Shirt & Mug Combo of this! 😀
@@justfontaineband Haha. I would never give myself that title, but I appreciate it 🤘🔥
I wasn't paying attention during the bass example until it suddenly sounded like a high pass was engaged half way through.
That says it all.
This LB stands undefeated

I’m glad you found it interesting. I’m still tweaking my 500 workflow and it doesn’t help I’m indecisive 🤣
@@EdThorne Omg I know the feeling! Lololol

Right on!
No question ... definitaly N1073Lb. More substance, organic, character and lively.
Neve is just way more musical. Would have to go with the Neve here

If only Wes Audio made a Collab with heritage for the 73 JR.
Neve just sounds insanely better than the other one.
Why not both ?
Neve sounds better in every single situation
Neve by far.
I prefer the Neve but I’m a Neve nut! I liked Neve so much in my career I actually called my daughter Niamh because my wife wouldn’t let me spell in Neve.
Excellent. Still a beautiful name 🙂
Stay away from all Waves plugins if you have FL Studio or Ableton Live. Their forums have you jumping through hoops with no solutions.
Phoebe saturation sounds worse than some freebie plugins.
That’s more saturation than my diet 😂
