The most effective way to make your drums sound better just by running it through this magic little box.

@therealsazabi sits down and shows the Boss Dr. Sample SP-202. This sampler from 1998 is a cult classic among beatmakers and producers alike.

If you would like to experience this piece of history, come cook up on it for yourself and understand why these devices are so important and still extremely useful for modern production.

In this one we take a look at the Akai MPC Sample. This is our newest addition to our arsenal of devices.

Our homie @therealsazabi shows us how to cook up a little something on this amazing device that is available at True School Studios NOW!!!!
