Rupert Neve, who has died aged 94, was a British-born recording genius regarded as the “father” of the modern mixing console – the massive board with hundreds of knobs and faders that dominates studio control rooms; his equipment gave depth and power to albums by such leading rock bands as The Who, Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Earth Wind & Fire and the Grateful Dead.
In 1997, Neve received a special merit Grammy award for “outstanding technical significance to the recording field” and in 1999 was named “Man of the Century” by Mix magazine. Yet Neve confessed a preference for “English cathedral music, large organs and choirs and soloists”. He was, also, entirely self-taught.
