Hello, I'm trying to decide the best workflow setup for my flow. I'm running ProTools with Metric Halo interfaces and an Artist Mix. My intention is to run my MPC Live II via USB into PT or Ableton (seems more friendly to MPC). Am I on the hook for a mixer or are you able to forego a mixer in the chain? I will be adding audio (guitar/vocals etc) so it's not just synth and beats ....

Thanks!

I have no intention of levelling or mixing prior to going into the DAW. MPC would be connected via USB so I guess the answer is that I do not need a mixer with the MPC?

Thanks!

Correct, lol.

That is what I ask myself before buying new gear. Why do I need it? If I have no good answer then nope to the nope.

OK, ok, except for the MPC Keys61 purchase. I was gonna sell it off but I like it now, it's not going anywhere.
