Yoad Nevo is a London based producer/mixer known for his work with Jem, Pet Shop Boys, Bryan Adams, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, The Dandy Warhols, Goldfrapp, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Moby, Air, Morcheeba, amongst others. He is also the owner of Nevo Sound Studios in London, and the co-inventor of several pro audio plugins for Waves Audio.
History
Nevo started his career in music at the age of 11. During the years 1998–2005 Nevo worked at Townhouse Studios and Olympic Studios alongside Mark Stent, Hugh Padgham and Jeremy Wheatley. Nevo designed and launched his own studio complex, ‘Nevo Sound Studios’, in 2005.
Projects
Nevo is perhaps best known for his work with Jem, Bryan Adams, Girls Aloud and Sugababes. Has also worked on releases by Duran Duran, Dave Gahan, Eighties Matchbox, Air, Moby, Alesha Dixon, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ronan Keating, Mark Owen, Giggs, Arthuer Baker and others. He has collaborated on several productions (Pet Shop Boys, Alesha Dixon, Gabriella Climi) with production team Xenomania. He has also mastered hundreds of albums. His style can be defined by prominent beat and big synth sounds and his technique can be characterized as analogue/digital hybrid.
Nevo has written a book, 'Hit Record - An Inside Track to Music Production', published worldwide in 2007, translated to Japanese and distributed by Hal Leonard. It describes the methods of work and offers insight to his approach to production and mix.
Nevo is the co-inventor of many audio processing plugins and has worked with Waves Audio on much of their product line since 1995. Waves Audio received a technical Grammy Award in 2011, for making contributions of outstanding technical significance to the recording field.
In January 2012 Nevo launched online-mastering service 'Nevo Mastering'.
In 2012 Waves Audio released the 'NLS Non-Linear Summing Plugin, which modeled Nevo's Neve console, along with Mark 'Spike' Stent's SSL console, and Mike Hedges' EMI desk."
