Rupert Neve MBT + MBP Review

Показать описание
In this video I review how well and if I would recommend combining the Rupert Neve Master Bus Transfer and Master Bus Processor together. Some people asked if it was overkill and some asked as they have a MPB and are considering buying a MBT to pair with it.

Exactly the video I needed to see. I absolutely LOVE the MBP and i reckon it isn't overkill based on this great demo. cheers Animals

I already thought this would make a great combination in my mind with the MBT before the MBP in the chain, and you just confirmed for me that it has exactly the potential I was hoping for. I also don't think it's overkill at all. The difference of having them together is really enjoyable.

Thanks 😀 And then the RND MBC after and you can add even more silk red or blue ;).

Thanks and can't wait on the follow up vids: the one that could inform my choice between either one for purchase.

Was looking for this exact demo, thank you. Even via the U Tube codec the pairing seems really really nice. Kinda of odd not be able to check the gain reduction on the MBT Opto Comp, but I supposed the flashing light and your ears will tell you what you need to know.

Listening on Focal Trio6 BE monitors... I can hear dynamics and air (width) enhanced with the MBT engaged. Noted your using zero threshold and gain as well as low ratio profile on the color compressor, 50% blend & no gain reduction... essentially taking it out of the picture for the most part... guessing you saw little value in that color compressor when going through the permutations... I can hear pretty dramatic differences when harmonics maxed and zenor drive engaged... probably too much but for a test differential is easy to see it is a large effect. I think maybe you see the value for this combination using a medium/moderate use of transformer color on the MBT and moderate/heavy use of silk on the MBP? Noted high input and low output trim with low HPF to get the full effect on MBT... Interesting test... not far off from what I expected from the subtle objectives in the Neve philosophy. I like it... going to add this MBT to my master buss.

I have neither so not sure if I NEED one for mixing primarily 🤔

Great video. Just wonder your opinion on the limiter in the MBP . If the MBP is the last in the chain before go back in the box. Is the limiter usefull, …?

Thank for this vid! RND seem to have designed them to compliment but have provided little insight into how. You’ve helped fill that gap.

Here’s an interesting one. Ignoring other components in your chain would you:

Get MBP + MBT combo or
Have one or the other and spend £3/£4k on something completely different?

I would like to add some hardware to my new studio and am currently looking for really useful extensions and sound improvers for my plugins. Also being able to get away from the screen sometimes. I currently have a Cranborne 500 Adat rack with Carnaby Harmonic EQ, SSL Violet EQ and SPl Kultube. But I'm not entirely convinced yet and I can replace everything relatively well with plugins. I’m only talking about the mixing process. Your experiences would certainly be very helpful.

Great great vid, as usual! I’m on the verge of getting a new interface. I have a Burl B2 ADC. I am getting an Apollo X6, I do mixing and mastering. Should I get a Lynx Aurora N 8 instead? Are the converters that much better, in my case I guess the difference would be the DAC, since ADC is covered by the Burl. Thank you.

How about if you have let’s say either The fusion or ssl master bus plus replaced for Rupert transformer and have portico bus would that be a good chain?

The older I get, the more value I hear in compression caused by eq and multiple passes through various transformers than compressors.

Thus why I purchase gear with true inout and output transformers; to control saturation of the transformer which dies add color but importantly more so handles transient peaks in a way compressors cannot (to my ears).

The RND 5033 5-band EQ units are excellent and why I use with the MBP (before the MBP). My next purchase is the curve bender for this exact reason.

The MBT looks like a nice addition to any studio but aren’t there other boxes out there that have multiple transformers in them for less cash?

I have a Massive Passive Eq, so am I right sayjng the MBP is the better choice for 2 bus and mastering?

Based on the way I'm understanding you and benefits of having silk both before and after. Can you use say a couple of 542 500 series units and then an MBP? Or would you recommend the MBT? Or something completely different?
Thank you....!

Wow... you've done every variation possible 😅

I'm looking to purchase the MBT as a colour box. What compressor would you recommend to pair with it for mix buss and mastering duties?

One of these days you have to walk us over to those speakers and put your hand on one so I can get rid of this optical illusion where they look like a printed/painted backdrop lol

I see what u mean about it being overkill …

As an owner of the MBP, I`m disappointed in the MBT. Its too redundant.

The MPT is a bit gimmicky... not enough controls in the EQ or Compressor modules. Why would you use the Width Module if you have the MBP? You wouldn`t.

The Silk Mode is the only module on the MBT you need if you already have the MBP.

If RND really wants to hit a homerun in the project/home studio market, then put this EQ module and the Silk module from the MPT into a one rack unit for $1499. That will fly off the shelves.
