In this video, I dive deep into the Air Soft Clipper in the MPC standalone and give my honest and unbiased opinion. Is it good? Or is it bad?
Strap yourself in. This is gonna be a long one.

In reply to Akai and Air Music Tech:
I am, of course, well aware that a mix knob will change in volume when you use it. But Phase issues? Really?
I am also aware of the difference between loudness and "perceived loudness".
Please reveal to us all, the magic of "the curves".
Thank you.
