Pros:
Super workflow,
Samplen en choppen duurt maar 1 a 2 minuten als je het door hebt.
Goeie filters, compressie en efects.
Gratis audio- interface, werkt super met andere programa's op het gebied van line-in's mic-ins en phono-in's
Kwalietijd materiaal (denk dat je er je leven me kan)
Cons:
Let op bij het kopen dat je 99 euro meer nodig hebt voor de nieuwe software.
Ook heb je een DAW nodig naast de MPC voor je vocals.
Je kan hem door lussen naar andere DAW's maar is te veel moeite vaak. (tenzij je rewire hebt)
Ook is er niet een super ondersteuning voor externe plugin's.
