Holy smokes that acoustic had some kind of etheric aura around it when the dangerous was engaged. Sounds amazingly hi-fi. What acoustic was used?

Damn - sounds great! Any idea what those acoustics were recorded with? They sound wonderful

Please would someone tell me the name of the song that starts at 3:00? The name of the singer would also be much appreciated. Thank you!

that black and white effect is unnecessary in my opinion, let us just hear it. Nice review though, thanks !

Where in the chain is it used best with a EQ and Compressor?

just bought one brand new plugged it in it wont turn on

Do you prefer it in white ? In black ?

why didn't you bypass the unit once you dialed it in? I mean I can tell that it compressed things. . my dbx 160 can compress things

I tried to close my eyes , and difference can be noticed. General the SSL sound a bit dry compare to the MBT. The MBT plays nice low frequence bass.

Hmm, idk if I really think this is the best demo of the MBT. Every example I see here the song is barely peaking on the meters. Which actually renders the Zener Driver obsolete as you won't hear any audible difference until the unit is near clipping. In the user manual, you can see suggested starting points for certain genres and they spell it out where the peaks should be reading to get the intended sound from the box. Quote from the manufacturer's free PDF suggestion on a Modern R&B song: "Output Level Metering: 23-24dBu" vs. the 12-16dBu we see here.

Bias smh. Why compare the two aren’t symmetric and besides you are over processing with the SSL Fusion which is a deviation from the manual’s Standard Operating Procedure (SOP).

sibilance on c100 is harsh mid is more controlled on u87

MBT all day every day

No mid side ?

SSL is fast and punchy; Neve is slower and smooth.Depends on what is needed, or preferred. The music I make would mostly lean towards the Neve, but on faster tempos, the SSL would be perfect. Steak or Veggies? I like both.

could that super silk be doing too much ? then ssl sound automatically little low on highend

Loved it!

Does it have a sequencer? Thanks for answers

Very bad settings on fusion,it looks like you made it on purpose,I have one fusion and you can make it sound better

The Sony sounds smoother and bigger. The Gefell is smaller with more mid's. Both good for different things.

What kind of tubes are used? 22 of them...

Too crazy with the Silk. Was meant to be used sparingly - even says so in RND manuals.

really excellent mixes - shocked how nice the MBT sounded on that country mix - it was already a great mix but it was like an entirely different (better) song largely because of the stereo width and enhanced mid presence!!

Thanks for the work you do!

Gold

Strangely liked it more on single tracks as on the full tracks.

the dnb mix sounds better on bypass

COOL material

tuning fork abuse -- love it!

I am so glad I bought this. I love the tone

The first mix sounds stereo - how did you guys process that with this comp? Each track separately? I was under the impression the first example is on the mixbuss

Super oversized

I like the country mix. Can it be found anywhere?

The MBT, the way it's being used, has way more clarity in the high end. However, the Fusion sounds more "like a record." Perhaps if the MBT is followed by tape (or a tape emulator) it would sound more like the great records that were made on Neves, and less like crystal-clear, clean digital.

Sounds better than the manley vari mu for hip hop

I really want one of these.....

I was really on the fence with getting the MBT before watching this video; not anymore. I’ll definitely get one. I already have a Fusion and I’ll keep it. I think both units can serve their purpose.

Wonderfull microphone, the workers move as sloths,so slow, that makes it expensive too.

Any noise issurs on quiter passages?

This comparison is useless! The settings is totally random on both unit and especially on The Fusion the HF compression threshold is set to high all the time makes everything sounds muted and dull. Also the the space is either too narrow or super wide. 😒

I would think an audio company would know to mix the title audio down to be at a similar level as the guitar recording as not to hurt everyone's ears or speakers

I put just as much care and attention into my guitar playing, into my cooking, into my playing with my dog, but i'm not as expansive. No, no i know, but this mic is the swee heatest mic on planet E.

The same goes when comparing Citroen and Ferrari. Neve is so much better...

😮🫣🤯 Here trying to convince myself buying one top end rack unit that does the job of 3 or 4 actually makes this a bargain & it is working but I really was more comfortable in the days when a new guitar pedal was justified as an ‘investment" Or when a £20 app was enough to alleviate the G.A.S 🤦🏻

Hf compressor on the fusion is destroying the signal. I say this because that’s what it does to your music if you use it wrong like how you using it.

Does it include the displayed plugin to control/recall settings?

Great video. I love my massive passive!

you guys make great demo videos!

Thanks for your effort..nice demo.
