88R Console Sound
The 88R EQ brings the sound of the definitive 88R console to your studio. Trusted by the world’s most iconic recording facilities, the 88R is renowned for its sonic perfection and performance.
Complete Digital Control
The dedicated Neve Elements App gives you complete digital control of the 88R EQ when you want to work separately from the Digital Audio Workstation. Nothing about the sound is emulated – you are breaking out of the box into 88R analogue circuitry.
DAW Based Automation
Control the 88R EQ directly from your Digital Audio Workstation via the dedicated Element Control Plugin, with every setting totally recallable, offering instant reset of all parameters – keeping you in the sweet spot whilst making music. Available for every DAW via AAX, AU or VST3 formats.
Instant Reset
An essential snapshot system allows you to store and recall all Elements systems, archiving them offline or to your computer. Paired with the snapshot system, a comprehensive and ease-of-use undo system allows for multiple steps of control reset, ideal for mix revisions, and rectifying mistakes.
Control Grouping
A powerful control grouping system allows you to combine any number of individual Element processors of the same type and group them together – providing you total control over large groups of instruments.
