Description
In this stream we will discuss a new setup that I have been working on using Modern MPCs.
Zzounds has loaned me a new unit that completely changes the game for the MPC users. This setup will give you more analog power than the stock I/O found on modern MPCs including the MPC Live 3 and XL. This is an amazing setup for Music Producers craving a standalone workflow with powerful sound, fast workflow and sound sculpting capabilities. During this stream I will also show you how I use this new setup in a Hybrid setup with my music production computer.
