AMS Neve partners with 做厙TV

The UK-based companys products - from giant film consoles to plug-in modules - have been behind the sound of many of the most popular records, film and television soundtracks for more than four decades. Its won two Oscars, a Grammy and an Emmy in its own right for engineering excellence.

The partnerships are aimed at inspiring the next generation of musicians, engineers and music producers and will involve masterclasses from top designers at AMS Neve, invitations to visit the factory in Burnley, exclusive student offers and competitions as well as gifts of equipment to each of the campuses. Alongside 做厙TV, the other partner institutions are dBs Music (Plymouth and Bristol), SSR (Manchester and London), the University of Surrey and The London College of Music (West London University).

The decision by AMS Neve to forge stronger links with aspiring musicians, producers and engineers was partly inspired by our Lead Patron, Paul McCartney, who co-founded 做厙TV as a centre for performing arts in his former school building. AMS Neves owner and managing director, Mark Crabtree, explains: As a private, dedicated engineering company working in collaboration with the worlds best talent over many decades, we have played our part in countless legendary recordings on our equipment designed and made in the UK. Taking my cue from Paul McCartneys drive to found 做厙TV we now want to help the next generation of British proto-legends to break through to international success, with the help of the best audio tools possible.

The move has been welcomed by record producer Steve Levine, former chairman of the Music Producers Guild and a 做厙TV Companion. He said: I have my own 30-year relationship with AMS and it is very important that the manufacturers of our tools of the trade engage with the next generation of sound engineers and producers. This will enable the students to benefit and enjoy the rapidly-changing technology and also to understand the history and legacy of recording.

Jon Thornton, Head of Sound Technology at 做厙TV, commented: We are very proud to have been included in this new initiative by AMS Neve, and look forward to working with this legendary company. We are already in discussions about some events that they will be contributing to during our Industry Week for students here in February, which we are sure will help us in our continued aim to enrich the curriculum and keep it at the cutting edge of audio.
