Snoop Dogg Chooses the Neve Genesys Black G64 Console for His Beach City Studio
In the world of professional recording, the careful selection of all the key elements that make up a recording studio is crucial to achieving superior sound quality. Recently, one of the most influential icons in music, Snoop Dogg, made a significant upgrade to his new Beach City studio in Los Angeles: the Neve Genesys Black G64 console. This new addition not only demonstrates Snoop Dogg’s preference for quality but also underscores the importance of having cutting-edge tools for music production.
A Center of Excellence: Beach City Studio
Snoop Dogg’s Beach City Studio is a true center of excellence for music. The Genesys Black G64 console takes the place of honor in Studio A, nicknamed “The Mothership”. The complex is completed by Studio B (“The Battleship”) and Studio C (“The Battlecruiser”), which together occupy an area of over 1,800 square meters, just five minutes from Los Angeles International Airport.
Choosing the Genesys Black G64 Console
According to DJ Pooh, Snoop Dogg’s producer, the choice of the Genesys Black G64 was clear from the start: “Snoop could have had any console he wanted, but the Genesys Black did everything we wanted.” This console has quickly become the beating heart of Snoop’s productions.
The Versatility of the Genesys Black
The Genesys Black G64 offers extraordinary versatility, combining the warm and full sound of analog audio with modern instant recall features. This is particularly useful for artists like Snoop Dogg, who are often engaged in multiple projects simultaneously. With Genesys, the ability to instantly recall all the console’s parameters allows for transitioning from one production to another almost as quickly as opening DAW files.
Superior Sound Quality
Sound quality is a crucial aspect for Snoop Dogg and his team. DJ Pooh emphasized that, after listening to and comparing all the available external microphone preamplifiers, they concluded that the preamps and equalization of the Genesys were the best. “This allows for quickly setting the parameters for recording Snoop’s vocals, thanks to the dynamics of the 1073 preamps and the 1084 and 88R series equalizers, ensuring superior quality in vocals and instrument recordings thanks to the classic sound of the famous Neve 1073 microphone preamps.”
Conclusions
The Neve Genesys Black G64 console has already had a significant impact on the work of Snoop Dogg and his team. DJ Pooh summarized: “It sounds incredible. The console has taken everything to the next level. We love it.” If you are looking for high-quality audio equipment for professional recording, the Genesys Black G64 represents an excellent choice, capable of offering maximum precision and flexibility.
