Hey guys,

first of all sorry if there is another Thread for but i could not find one. I love doing Beats on my MPC Ren but im not a great expert at all.

Can anyone refer to me (working) Plugins like "Waves" in quality? As i had to see Waves VST plugins do not work with Akai Ren. For my ears the delivered plugins like Compressor or the EQ´s are weak..

I need hardly a nice EQ, Compressor, Maximizer etc.

Anyone has some positive Ideas to check whats is worth to buy?

Can confirm this workaround gets Waves working!

To the OP: Keep in mind that the "MPC" software doesn´t have PDC, so plugins which introduce latency will fvck up your sequences.


If the forthcoming 2.0 doesn't fix PDC 100%, I'll drive a tractor through Jack O' Donnell's office wall and lay a massive steaming turd on his desk.

Doesn't seem like it was on the high priority list in the 2.0 preview video.

Probably not something they'd make a big announcement about. But if it isn't fixed, that's not a good look.
