In this video, which is Part 3 of a series, I go through the process of mastering a Boom Bap/Hip Hop track in the MPC Standalone.
Whilst I am not saying this is a replacement for a professional mastering engineer, I wanted to illustrate that it is possible to get a "radio ready" master with the MPC Standalone.
Thank you to Shaggy Manatee (@manatee_flips) for being a great client and allowing me to use his fantastic music.
