MBP Its definitely good enough to be used in mastering. Good for half a dB or so on the right material. Will distort on the wrong stuff. I had one in for a while. Can't be separated from the boxtone of the MBP.

The MBC one is better tho. You can get away with more on it. Better clarity and the side chain HPF is amazing, essential really. Release time is also essential. It and the LAAL are the 2 best analog brickwall limiters IMHO. I only use it for a slight amount but before the LAAL I used up to 2dB sometimes. It can do more but at that stage I was leveraging other units before it like MPL2 and Bettermaker.

Thanks

Is that the typical limiting order? Or do the units get reordered based on the song?

Neve is on the converter so that is fixed.
Limit.one sounds best as a conditioner post LAAL.

When I had my daughter 12 years ago, someone told me you love them more and more as time goes on. I've certainly found that to be true but didn't realise it would also be true of my Knif Pure Mu! Eight years in and I appreciate it more than ever. It's the one I use 80% of the time I use a compressor.

Still using the original tubes (which might sound sweeter now than ever) and never had a problem. The only maintenance it's needed is a replacement lamp for the VU, which wasn't available here in Australia so Jonte sent 2 for free.

It's a shame these aren't being made anymore, but I'm very grateful to have one. Thanks again to everyone who helped me out in this thread.

Hi Roque how are you, I have both, they are totally different, you can use both in some cases, in 60% of the times when one goes, the other does not. When they complement each other meaning you can use both, it really adds up.
The difference is not only in relation to the genre, but to the genre, the musical language, the ensemble, that is to say, which instruments are involved, how they were recorded, etc...
According to this, you can use one equipment or the other, basically it's a choice between one transformer or the other. In relation to the transformer, when I use the SOC20, almost always or 80% of the time it is in parallel. This is because the Lundahl always improves the audio but in some cases it eats a part of the spectrum in the transients. Doing this is not always necessary, for example when it is strings or in some voices. The MBPII has the opposite sound, it is vibrant in the other direction, so when one goes, the other does not, and sometimes both can go. To get an idea, the MPBII almost always goes very well with traditional jazz bands, e.g. Diana Krall. The versatility of the MBPII is wider and the learning curve, if you are distracted, can be years.
You can check on my Soundcloud, the first acoustic track is the SOC20 and the MBPII. In the next two are also both (regee and EDM), in the Bach track is only the MBPII, in the Cello track is only the SOC20.
Hope this helps, cheers

Thought I could add some Amtec 099 samples.

Here are the settings for the 3 mixes:
- normal, comp, 60Hz SC filter
- forward, lim, 180Hz SC filter
- forward, comp, no SC filter

All with P ("program") time constants, stereo linked.

Long shot, but download expired, do you still have those files available?
