Heba Kadry and the MBP + MBT
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 мар 2024
- Ever since the Master Bus Transformer was announced, we’ve heard the same questions a number of times: “What’s the deal with the Color Comp?” “Don’t you already make a bus compressor?” “Does this replace the MBP?”
Mastering Engineer Heba Kadry (Björk, Sufjan Stevens, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Big Thief) has owned the Master Buss Processor for about eight years. Hear her thoughts on using compression for color - not just dynamic range control - and why her new MBT is "the guy that brings the vibe to the party."

It's so amazing seeing former classmates from audio school rising to these heights! Go, Heba!
I'm a firm believer in Rupert Neve gear. Beautiful sound and quality. Thanks for this video. Analog is where it's at.
Thanks for letting me know about your experience with hardware processors! It's great that we're both passionate about audio engineering, even if we approach it slightly differently.
I totally understand the appeal of working with dedicated hardware units for things like EQ, compression, reverb, etc. The tactile controls and analog warmth they can provide are hard to beat. At the same time, I've found VST plugins to be an incredibly versatile and cost-effective solution for my needs.
The ability to run multiple instances of high-quality digital processors on my DAW without cluttering up my studio space is a huge plus. And with new plugins constantly being developed, I have access to an ever-expanding array of unique effects and processors.
That said, I'm definitely not opposed to incorporating hardware into my setup down the line. A few choice analog pieces could nicely complement my VST-based workflow. I may even take you up on your expertise to recommend some worthwhile hardware investments.
In the meantime, I'm stoked to hear about the hardware you're using and the results you're getting. Don't hesitate to hit me up if you ever want to discuss VST plugins or just nerd out about all things audio! Collaboration and sharing knowledge is what it's all about.
Cheers!

Im a Reason user and I find that the better the sound selection and EQ of each element and the right mix and stereo panning can get a similar sound to hardware and get so nere to it that its actually almost impossible to tell the difference. I think gear has the ability to enhance a sounds dynamic range and as a result make it sound good when being processed. I follow successful people who say gear makes all the difference but I say anyone who dont understand the fundamentals on EQ there mix and master will sound trash regardless. Finally I have gone back to old productions from a time where My skill was lacking and the mixes are muddy and poor EQ VS My latest which sound way better. If I had gear now it would be assumed that My music is better because of that when in reality its got nothing to do with it, I just know more now.
Thank you for this video. I would LOVE to take a masterclass from Heba if there was one available!
Dream studio with amazing gear!
great! thank you.
It’s legendary. And you get back exactly what you expect!
Love Heba’s work! Been wanting to meet her and talk shop for years! Aywa ya Masr!
Waiting and saving up for the MB542 😉
Why don’t you buy my 500 series ones. I don’t like them. I do like the MBT tho
@@michaelgutter2004 I actually go for Wes audio gear. That’s what I have most of
Having Rupert Neve Designs gears is having “Sound Maturity”.
dat sontec doe, i see gyraf infundibulum too. jesus i'd love to hear this chain in person. this is pretty high praise for mbp/mbt considering the other stuff in there
Hi Heba! Nice seeing you thrive! Did you ever build a modular into an accordion case?😂😂😂
I want these boxes! I get a little confused about which unit she’s talking about half of the time 😅
❤
who made that desk and side car racks ,they look mid century modern ? thanks
Sondhus
The room was designed by Sondhus, but the desk is actually from Northward Systems: northward-systems.com
@@RupertNeveDesigns thanks
@@MrVgabriel thanks
For thrashy fast metal: MBP or MBT? I'm getting one of the two in the next couple of months.
MBP for left-brain precision control over dynamics, MBT for right-brain creative control over harmonic content. Either (or both) work great for any genre.
what are the monitors ?
The monitors are from a company called ATC, they are either the SCM50ASL Pro or the SCM100ASL Pro
which are bigger still. Amazing looking speakers. I had also come to comments to figure out what it was but then I recognised the logo in the background
Rupert Neve, a much loved and respected brand some very successful people but it should be noted that no matter what people use, gear or software it still requires knowledge to EQ and mix.
I wonder what Josh thinks of this piece
Nice deep dive!!! If someone wants to send me this gear please do!!!
Surprisingly little treatment in that room
It’s embedded beneath the wall fabric
@@xGIJewx correct! Read about it here: www.sondhus.com/projects/heba-kadry-mastering
That was my first tought but then like.... No way that she is doing mastering if the room isn't treated so I presume that everything is hidden...
Yea go read. Literally look at windows and glass angled to beef up what she said was not an ideal space, just to block out the sound of BK.
was she given the product?
Can I suggest a vst3 plugin. Xln audio rc 20. For those people who have a small home studio. I give it 9 out of 10.
Was hoping to see a demonstration of this from her in this video
This is how you have to talk if you want to charge $2k/day.
@mattytwohatsExactly, so you better get this patter down.
lol it’s about her work don’t care how she talk. If the product is good that’s all that matters. F the rest of the unnecessary shiii that’s just looking for some type of attention.
@@notesfromjmota5127Nah, you could pay someone else 1/4 her rate and get pretty much the same result. What you pay extra for is her convincing you that she's making your vocals "holographic." Creative people are suckers for that kind of woo woo.
The entire industry is filled with of this stuff
Lol imagine if mixing was this important
How can you master in that room… it’s impressive because it looks like there is no room treatment…
The treatment is embedded behind the fabric on the walls and ceiling: www.sondhus.com/projects/heba-kadry-mastering
Very cool❤
So, it’s an audio processor, but al yo do in this video is talking. Ok 👍
Great lesson in packing as many nonsensical contradictory buzz words into one commercial.
? She speaks really well and articulates whats interesting about this gear in a really precise clear way. It's just the terminology used to describe different parts of audio signal processing
Definitely not a professional commenting here. Heba is a pro.
I need a girlfriend with this kind of equipment “hey baby what you doing right now? Let me come over for a bit…you got those Neves I like on?
Requires ballistics tbh. The leds are basically useless indicators.
I had no idea how empty and lacking my life has been...
Love this! Big up Heba!
Rubbish. Get someone more knowledgeable to speak about this.
Are you serious? Have you seen her discography? Have you actually listened to her work? Or are you just sad because she's doing what you want to be doing for a living, and is generally more successful than you?
@@EdBoogieprobably just sad
I'm gonna run your comment through a MBT. Are you a school teacher from 1932 England?
your mom hates you
@@eladreltuc Its just a troll.
