So I've tried a few experiments with syncing my MPC 3K to the DAW. I've tried MIDI Clock, MTC, creating an audio SMPTE stripe, FSK (http://www.rv0.be/sync-unit/legacy/sync-unit-dc), etc..
I only have an Apogee Duet, so for multi tracking, I need things to be tight.
Interestingly, I've had the best results by doing none of the above Instead, just turning on 'count in' on the MPC, and recording a couple bars of click track for each audio track. Then, I just line up the tracks by the click transients.
I then read on the Innerclock site, that MPC 3K internal sync is much tighter than external (depending on which mode you're in -- song or pattern)
(http://www.innerclocksystems.com/new%20 ... itmus.html)
I'm sure some people do this, but as I've read so many threads on sync discussion, this seems like a pretty simple and reasonably accurate way to go,
