Just got the MTC and tried it with my 5060 Centerpiece at the master insert, and added the MBP right after the MTC in the chain. For me in this setup, the MTC+MBP complement each other immensely! The MTC alone added extremely nice punch, extra clarity and width, but adding the MBP right after it in the chain added a magical and musical smoothness to the sound. The two units tried separately each added a lot, but the two together took the sound to yet another level. In this case at least, one unit did not replace the other. Which makes sense that RND would not intentionally come out with an MBP killer. But would as they've implied, create an MTC that could complement the MBP. Looking forward to Paul's more thorough review on the subject!

The two should compliment each other well. My issue is that I don't use the MBP as a compressor and use it as a stereo field editor.

Is there any use for the red and blue silk on the MBP as part of this compliment? or is that part of the MBP the sacrifice you make to get the MBT super silk if you already own the MBP. Also is there any really useful benefit of paying for another analog width control when you already have what is considered the bst in the business on the MBP? Of course the two compressors and eq and drive are nice compliments. But paying for width twice is a little painful, when there's other things you need. Any chance we could here what 5060 into MBT into MBP sounds like?

@AudioAnimalsStudio

@barneyrubble8255 not really. Super silk is essentially have the MBP silk blue and red to use at the same time. So would double up. Same with the width control really. The only real benefit of having both it seems for me is if you use the MBP as a compressor at a stage of the chain. For instance you could have the MBT adding silk before the MBP compressor then the MBP silk after compressor.

Thanks for your informative video. As someone that mixes in the box, would running a final mix through a SSL Fusion to give some analogue colour before sending it off to be mastered be a good idea? Or do you not recommend this as a final stage process? (before mastering)

It's certainly not a bad thing to do. This is essentially what the Fusion is designed for. My only comment on using it for this process would be do not use the vintage drive. It adds a lot of noise into the mix. Then once mastered, it becomes even louder.

Are these bus processors necessary from a mix engineer standpoint? I was considering adding to my vca bus compressor this year with a phoenix or 5254 - should I get fusion for a start (I have the plugins)? Would you prioritise the 5254 over the phoenix for flexibility on sources?

Odd they didn’t give that the 5059 has two silk circuits so in theory could also do super silk (which is how I’ve been using it for more control over silk).

I actually have a video coming on this very subject on the same question someone asked. So that will give you a lot more detail.

You buy you sell and there's lots of second hand 500 series modules available. Good ones too. 2x maag EQ4s would be good. Or even get two ssl EQs to go with the Fusion. That'll give you the violet EQs as shelves then 4 bands in between in mid side.

For 20k you could get something really nice maybe less. If you were to go down 500 series route even cheaper. And lots to choose from in that market. I'd say build as you go. Fill in the gaps with plugins for now. Gradually every few months add something new. I warn you though it never ends.

I have a great collection of plugins from Waves, Plugin Alliance, Brainworz, Pulsar, Sonible, Arturia, and other. I already had a great sound, but wanted to add a bit of analog warmth to my mixes, and masters. Therefore I bought the Fusion and Tegeler Creme. I didn´t want to spend more than 4000€. I got the Fusion for 1800€, and the Creme for 1500€ new. They seemed to be the most logical to buy at that price point. My clients are happy with the results. :) I also invested in a pair of Focal Shape Twin monitors, which are a nice edition to my Genelecs. I´m curious if you would have done it differently, what you would have bought, and what you might add on to what I already have? Not that I want to go completely analog, I like the conevience, balance, and sound of digital, and analog together, and it´s a lot easier to make adjustments should a client want them. Big fan of your channel. Keep up the great work.

I wish the fusion went for a bus compressor instead of the Hi freq comp. its decent when you make your mixes harsh and bad but if you did your job right its not very useful.

The MBTs compressor & EQ are a bit toy-ish for a mastering chain. The silk mode is very cool but thats the only advantage I see over the MBP. RND was clearly targeting the Fusion with the MBT but that missing mid-side is also a very big issue.

I have fusion and buss+, and am really happy with the various sonics and textures I can get from super clean to totally smooth.
