It's like you send your track to be mastered, and he just kinda plays with his dinosaur like a little kid and hardly works on the track, but then he goes, ahhhh no biggie, I'll just give it a quick rip through the MBP with some silk! Boom done.
Great video! The first example is pretty mind blowing. Not so sure about the other two.. especially the last one, once you level match it, I kind of like it without the processing but there's no doubt the first example benefits tremendously from the Protico II. What an awesome piece of kit!
I'm confused. All of the documentation says that blue silk is for lows and low mids, and red silk is for high mids and highs. But he says it's the other way around?
Great vid. I love the way you engage/disengage the unit on the start of a bar. That way you can really enticipate on the change in sound. If you know what I mean ;) I really want to try and use one of these puppy's on my master whilst mixing, with some subtle settings. See in what way it changes the way I mix. Just invested in some Neve pre's and som ad/da converters, so i'll have to save some money first though!
I just ordered an MBP and an Orbit. I'm trying to get some more punch out of my mixes. I'm using the Focusrite ISA 8 channel and a 2 channel ISA 2. My interface is a Tascam Model 24. Anyone with any tips? I am always looking for some new ideas. I guess I would play the mix I have through the MBP and send it to two tracks? I am an old analoger and I used to have an Otari 8 track and a 2 track mixdown deck. I'm hoping this takes my mixes to the next level!
I’m new to hardware and maybe a crazy question, but I’m just a mixing engineer and wanted to know if this is only for mastering or could this be placed on the master buss for a mix before sending it to a mastering engineer? I have the fusion it works great, but I also love the Neve sound and looking to purchase. So please let me know if possible.
I've been eyeing this one for a few years. finally ready to make a move on some master bus heavy lifting. can you use the limiter separately from the compressor? or is it all one comp/limit section together?
@@prodjincmusicproductions6587 Excellent question! Very early Master Buss Processors had a 250Hz side-chain filter (as shown in this video), but the side-chain filter is now at 125Hz in current production units. (We updated the unit a number of years ago based on user requests.)
+Allan Curtis lol... thanks for your reply but I would need two 1073s because this will be used on a master bus! The mbp seems primarily for dynamics where the 1073s are pres with eq.
+springfield Fam yeah 1073's wouldnt make much sense here. The mbp is a great swiss army knife (lots of functions). Ssl Bus comp is a classic if you are looking for dynamics only😎
Hi Jerry, I noticed you do not increase the percentage of the silk knob, it seems you just leave it at min? Is your intention to only place the min amount in the circuit? Thanks! Great video BTW, this thing is awesome so far!
Your funny mad visionoflife.I own this do not say silly things like that just cause you cannot buy one.YOU CAN ONLY JUDGE IF YOU HAVE ONE,not off some video.Looks like he was using a basic studio setup to show you how powerful this unit is.DO NOT COMPARE CHEAP PLUGINS TO A 4000 DOLLAR UNIT.When you use this in a pro studio thats why the price is so high it will give you radio ready music guaranteed.If you think im lying click on my pic on the left GO TO ABOUT G+ thats me in my home studio look at my rack full of gear you'll see it.Ozone is a joke.THERE'S A REASON PEOPLE STILL COME TO EXPENSIVE STUDIO'S TO GET THAT RADIO SOUND.WE SPARE NO EXPENSE.We all started with a project studio.But when I had one in my early days I was'nt on ssl pages saying a certain plugin can do that same sound.Thats given out false truth,that will make the unexperience make a bad purchase.Work hard and save for whats needed to make pro music.
I'm sure this box is good, but I just stopped the video when you didn't matched the gain in first example. Human ear instantly perceives louder "better" so this is a completely biased demonstration, therefore completely flawed... Good bye...

Finally! Somebody playing audio through it instead of just talking about it. Phew!
It's like you send your track to be mastered, and he just kinda plays with his dinosaur like a little kid and hardly works on the track, but then he goes, ahhhh no biggie, I'll just give it a quick rip through the MBP with some silk! Boom done.
Jerry mastered my last album. He's a genius to watch. And his room is phenomenal! He's definitely worth what he charges.
What was the album? Id like to hear it!
He absolutely knows how to dial in the Portico II , wow!
Simply amazing! I’m saving up for one. It’ll be my first analog unit for mixing/mastering.
It gives confidence in the musicianship of an audio engineer when I see them hit engage/bypass in time with the music :)
holyyyyyy shittttttt... when he hit the bypass button, I'm sold!
dont be fooled by the gain loss. he only gain-matched on the last song.
No, it's the amount of polish and thickness the MBP unit adds. It would be silly only to listen to gain changes.
+protooler7 Thats what added gain sounds like buddy
Mania Yup, we should use our DAW's gain plugin and add 3dB of gain. It's silly to spend $4000 on the Rupert Neve Designs MBP. :)
Just mastered a record with it, it's truly incredible.
Man they sound great and looks very versatile
Great video! The first example is pretty mind blowing. Not so sure about the other two.. especially the last one, once you level match it, I kind of like it without the processing but there's no doubt the first example benefits tremendously from the Protico II. What an awesome piece of kit!
Just picked one of these from a garage sale for $100!!! I didn’t how much it’s worth until I saw this video it sounds amazing I lucked out!!
🙄😏
Yard sales aren't at night when the homeowner is sleeping bro.😂
sounds great! Makes a huge difference!
I'm confused. All of the documentation says that blue silk is for lows and low mids, and red silk is for high mids and highs. But he says it's the other way around?
Blue is low end
Yes, this confused me as well. Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this.
Red Silk is high end, Blue for the low end.
He's got it correct. This is the old version where the silk colors are reversed and SC filter is 250 instead of 125.
I am looking forward to buying one of these based off the first song. Sounds dope.
Hi how is the master bus connected in the back? Inserts? 1/4 balance cable?

Does it add gain? It sound likes its getting louder, or is that the dynamic range increasing?
Love this demo so thanks a lot! I'm currently using the Porticol II Channel and I love it and I'm thinking to add to my set-up. This video helps.
I'm on the Galaxy Note 2 cell phone, and I could hear the depth and the dimension with this on the internet: wow!

Lil Edd Yes, it works great as a master bus compressor.
mtweaver1978 thank you for letting me know!
Use it for anything - stems, tracks, mixing, mastering!
loving the dinosaur
Did you switch the red and blue knobs?
I just bought one today....
same here! had to take advantage of the black friday sales! lol
Frankie Figz sweet.
@@FrankieFigz86 how big was the discount?
it would be amazing of you put an EQ into the inserts of both channels !!
I've been eyeing this one for a few years. finally ready to make a move on some master bus heavy lifting. can you use the limiter separately from the compressor? or is it all one comp/limit section together?
they have separate controls for the limiter and comp, but not separate I/O
If I'm not mistaken , isn't Silk Blue = Low and Silk Red = High?
yes and it would be great to dial in both!!!
hi! I just wanted to know does you MBP side chain filter out 125hz or 250hz? thank you
or did you insert a eq?
@@prodjincmusicproductions6587 Excellent question! Very early Master Buss Processors had a 250Hz side-chain filter (as shown in this video), but the side-chain filter is now at 125Hz in current production units. (We updated the unit a number of years ago based on user requests.)
What should I do if I like "silk" red and blue?
Buy a Neve 1073
+Allan Curtis lol... thanks for your reply but I would need two 1073s because this will be used on a master bus! The mbp seems primarily for dynamics where the 1073s are pres with eq.

very good!!! thanks
so where's the kid?
very good!!!
a detailed example would be nice.
Is it Good option for bus mix ?
this one is one of the early ones that is 250hz sc, new ones are 125. MBP is designed for mix bus and is very useful on it
No bypass on this model?
Also the knob colors are reversed. Red buttons are on the bottom now.
What's better this or the 1073,
1073 is a mic pre though
@@gregbradshaw7220 yes but both have an eq it will come down to that at the end if portico sound better EQ wise then
Hi Jerry,
I noticed you do not increase the percentage of the silk knob, it seems you just leave it at min? Is your intention to only place the min amount in the circuit?
Thanks! Great video BTW, this thing is awesome so far!
the little dino watching and asking to him self "why the new neve totally has a different sounds with old one?"
How do you deal with dessing on the portico
Does nothing for me but then again I only make single note sinewaves.
you enabled silk blue but turned the mix knob to 0% lol
No gain matching makes the comparison useless
Hmmm 🧐 🤔 will have may be
This thing just punch you right in the face.
