Yo, here's my current setup, but the mess up thing it's in 2 different cities! Here's a breakdown:

Where I'm at:
MPC 1000 w/ 128 RAM (Why did the price go up?!?)
Technics Turntable
Sp 303
Acid 4.0
Adobe Audtion
Fruity Loops
Reason
Recycle

Homebase:
Pro Tools Le w/ Mbox
12 Track Hard Disk recorder ( basically a mixer now)
Waves Gold and some other sh*t
Triton
EMU MK6
Vocal Booth (Still workin on sound proof)
Mid Level Mic - I can't remember which

Any suggestions on how to be as effecient as possible?

If you ReWired everything together where you're at (and your PC is fast enough to run the apps simultaneously), you could track everything out to Fruity Loops in sync as .wavs, save all of those files onto a cd or dvd, and then open them up in ProTools when you get back home from where you're at and continue your session.

Umm.. something like:

FL - ReWire Master.
Reason - ReWire slave, runs it's audio into FL (where you can then track it).
MPC 1k - track the audio into FL. Send midi sync out from FL to the MPC. This way your MPC will be in sync with both FL and Reason which are already synced to each other... in theory anyways...

Export some loops from this setup to use in Acid or mess up in Audition. Chop the loops up in ReCycle, save each slice as individual wavs, transfer them to your MPC's CF card and start over. Wash, rinse, repeat if necassary.

Is that something close to what you meant?

Also, in keeping with the theme of efficiency, you could sell your SP303 and Emu MK6 as a pair. :) Do you really need em with the MPC1000 and the Triton?
