Comparing The New UAD Neve 1073 Pugins Vs Legacy 1073 Preamp & EQ

Knowing how much power - even dedicated DSP power - your plugins are using can be crucial to deciding how to proceed with a mix, as Alex Solano explains in relation to the Universal Audio Neve bundle.  

Neve hardware is legendary in the industry but it's also out of the reach of many people. Luckily UAD has brought its skills to bear on recreating some of the classic hardware in plugin format and in this video from the full course Neve Complete Bundle Explored, Alex Solano shows you the practical differences between two versions of the classic 1073 preamp / EQ module. 

Although both versions sound great, the Legacy version uses significantly less DSP power than the newer one which can be a consideration if you plan to run lots of processors. In the video, Alex uses A/B of the same clip played through different versions of the effect to show you precisely how the two behave. In the other videos in the course you'll see much more detail on the rest of the collection and get some great practical advice on mixing with these cool plugins!
