The inbox processing was done with the McDsp’s amazing plugins to keep the vibe in the same realm. McDsp plugins allowed me to keep the textures that I created outside the box and lastly, I had to give the sounds a second pass of analogue through the SSL. As an MPC user, you will once again gain a ton of well ready to go samples that will give you that authentic MPC feel, chunky snares, big kicks, glassy live hats, thick live toms, and plenty of loops to get your next track going!” Fully Compatible with All MPC Standalone models, MPC BEATS , AKAI FORCE and MPC 2 Software.
