Are these plugins worth $500 to you?

In this video I'm checking out the new paid plugins from Akai that shipped with MPC 2.11. I'm not deep diving into each feature, it's more of a sampling of the presets and making a quick beat with the stock MPC plugins. Finally I end with a discussion on pricing and looking at it from both sides of the coin. Wanna support the channel?
