The Neve sounds wider and more opened.

If you enjoy doing it, keep doing it, if you don’t stop. Hard, but simple.

Great video man. I’ve used the plugin here and there for a while and long story short I ended up buying one after watching this demo amongst others. I have an SPL BiG in my 500 series rack and I was absolutely blown away at the amazing sound, build quality and value of that unit so that got me really interested in adding one of these to my studio. I think you said it best, “Now everything just seems to sound boring when it isn’t on there”….from every demo I had heard this was the case. Amazing sound and value by SPL 💯

Behringer is no more than piece of JUNK!

neve has more witdh and punch

hardware=BEST!!! (all plugins = scammers' profanation) / ONLY hardware !!!

It’s quite an esoteric device huh?

Great video; are the knobs dented? Thanks 😊

There is a HUGE difference in term of punch and low end. The Neve is far away better

Please do Behringer 1273 comparison. Thanks

listening on headphones cant tell the difference

Thanks, Christoph! Another great video! The hardware sounds significantly better. Might be time for SPL to update their plugin. 😊

The width on the Neve is so much better, which is why I think the mix sounds better on it. It's also a tighter sound in the mids. The Behringer is definitely a good sounding piece though. Maybe the drums pop a bit more on the Behringer because the width isn't as a great, but overall I like the sound.

Great video man! Really loved it on the ballad, the bass by itself sounded amazing through this unit 👍🏼 By the way, the plugin didn't sound as tridimensional as the hardware

O > 1:08 - 1:17 / 3:13 - 3:21 B > 1:32 - 1:43 / 3:35 - 3:43 N > 1:56 - 2:07 / 3:57 - 4:06

In my opinion, the Neve is warmer. There's like a slight 250-700hz bump. The behringer sounds more modern, a little thinner- not in a bad way. It's like they scooped the little bit of extra beefiness/ warmth the neve has out of the berhinger. Again, not a bad thing in my opinion. I think I may actually like the Behringer more for that reason alone.

You dont "match" settings. You use your ears!

The Behringer sounds pretty good on the drums, but it falls apart on the full mix. Seems to narrow the soundstage and reduce separation in a way that the Neve does not. The mix loses excitement, so much so that I prefer the unprocessed version over the Behringer. My two cents, anyway...

Behringer sounds good. Like it on the drums a bit better since it sounds brighter. I like the Neve more on the entire mix. The Neve sounds a bit fuller in general and the Behringer a bit brighter. Think the brighter sound can be achieved with EQ but not so sure about the Neve's fuller sound and that might be the huge difference in the end. The Behringer will still be a great tool for what it is and the price is good .

Def not work $4k more for the 33609...nice work Behringer

- uad plugin более насыщен низами, что бы звучать более приятно, но звук как и у многих плагинов неестественно искусственный. - Behringer 369 звучит более нейтрально и слышно, что это настоящий железный компрессор, а не плагин. P.S. uad plugin подойдет для создания звуков для компьютерных игр, а Behringer 369 создан для музыкантов.

I want one of these, but I can t find one anywhere. Where did you get yours?

Great demo, thank you.

The plugin took the life out of the song. Get rid of it immediately, if not sooner..

I'll buy one to use with my tascam 16 track analog reel. If it's decent, tape will make it sound like a million bucks. Harsh cold protools won't..

Really great to have the files, that is a super cool Idea! Also the lighting and voice audio is great in this video! And really cool flow in the video. Definitively keep it up!

The units sound exactly the same.. bu the mix is horrible lol 😂

People continue to sleep on behringer. I think the unit is fantastic.

behringer has more dynamic but harsher highs

For $500 the behringer will do just fine. U want to impress clients. Put a neve sticker on it. No one will know. It's a difference but a small stock eq could make them equal in 3 secs. Small bump in low band (40-100) and done

the Navy Comp with Acustica Audio pretty much sound pretty much idetical to Berringer

A is the Harware but the difference is minimal, I would go with Stam Audio or Nebula or Acustica Audio over either of these

I dear you to include the Nebula Version...LOL...by Alex B Engieneering

The Neve is tighter and punchier in the low end. But in the full context of the mix, its harder to catch. I would need to drive both these units hard in order to get a proper comparison because that's really where the differences will show themselves.

Think the Neve offers a lot tighter transience. Would be interested to know whether you are able to achieve a tighter/closer compression with different settings on the compression or not (even if that means they are different on each device)

I'm listening through my phone speaker, and still then to my ears, the Behringer has more snap, tightness in the low end and sheen in the highs.

Audio memory is very short and easily confused when comparing things so thanks for the re-do. You could make things even stronger in the future by keeping samples to about six seconds and the playing the same exact piece... no fade at the end of one and different stuff on the beginning of the next. Same vs same and quick switching.

They both do the thing. Felt like there was more of a musical saturation in the low mids in the Neve. Could be good or bad depending on the context of the track. Thanks for doing this!

The neve sounds clearer. But is the neve pushing the hights?

The B eats the transients , such a shame

Great video man!! Well done. 369 sounds really really good. Difficult to judge without a blind a/b but sounds like the various elements have more depth

very good video, thank you very much. I wish you could share the files to download them, you know, it is very difficult to see differences with the "quality" of sound on CZcams.

Rack sounds better

Wet dry lol on off

Everyone mentioned how the A option (hardware) has better bottom end, and I agree. However I also wanted to add that the stereo image of the hi-hats is aloooooottttt more focused on the hardware version than the plugin one. I have the Heritage Audio HA-609A and it is the same kind of results/comparisons to the plugins as well that I find. Also, thank you for your super clear and concise comparison videos!

1st CZcams video = success! I liked it :-) good job and thanks for the content.

I appreciate your videos and shootouts. Thank you for putting them together.

I want the same test comparing two hardware units -) Behringer and Neve

There's a huge diference. Transients feel really diferent. No dubt. Behringer sound quite fine. But....not comparables at all
