Producer and composer Kevin Teasley whhas installed a Neve® 8424 console in his studio in Los Angeles and has been using it on some high profile music and broadcast projects.

“We started with the live arrangement and production music mix for Coi Leray’s performance on The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon on NBC,” Kevin says. “This was pre-recorded and we also put the TV broadcast mix through the 8424. Then it was utilized for Jennifer Lopez’s performance with Saweetie on Global Citizen 2021, which was broadcast on all major networks and YouTube. We handled music production and created final stem mixes for the TV broadcast mix, which worked out very well and was an amazing use for this console. It has also been used for our own internal projects such as film and TV trailers and commercials.”
