Does anyone know what happened with the 5088 console at Gravity? I saw the YouTube video with it but now it's not on their website, What happened?

I think I remember reading somewhere that the owner of Gravity made mention that he bought his console without ever listening to it as 10 before him in the industry had previously purchased one, and based on Neve's reputation was fine with that. #11 is currently on sale through VK. I think that is how that went, but maybe my memory misplaced the numbers.

If I remember correctly, Doug took issue with some of the routing options (or lack there of) on the 5088. He was used to working on his old Neve (8078?), and this was a whole new beast. I don’t think he was totally keen on the sound of the 5088 either, but could be wrong. I remember visiting Gravity for an EARS Chicago meeting, expecting to see the 5088, but it was already gone.

Ha, I found the article that I had read about the desk. It is in Tape Op magazine, so without Doug touching base here, this is his review of the 5088 and his issues with it and the workaround and great customer service from Neve.... tapeop.com/reviews/gear/73/5088-analogue-mixer/ |

Stu This is a problem for almost anybody going from a large scale console to almost any mid to low price 8 bus. This is the thing that I grew to love about the Status, if only I could get it to sound like the DDA! |

Hello all- we had the 5088 for 3 years- it was great- sold it cuz we had our second kid and kids cost money. Also been do more and more mastering. No issues, routing is fine- I’m thinking about getting another one- Doug McBride www.gravitystudios.com |
