Sony Acid is very good, take time to learn it.

Yeah I already know how to use that damn thing... Been using it for about 3 months now and I actually made 3 beats on it with nothing but my turntable to sample to Sony Acid and my wack ass Boss Dr. Rhythm (that drum machine is garbage... had it since i was like 14) but one of the beats that got done is sick. So now I got an MPC (which I have had for 3 days now) and was just wondering if the MPC works well with Sony Acid? And how Sony Acid compares to what everyone else is using here?

You physically have an MPC and ACID, can't you just try midi, wave file
exchange/import/export, them out and see what you can accomplish? Won't cost you
anything, except time and experience...

Don't be shy to get something going if you already have the gear. Some people will tell
they are perfect together, other will tell you they are wack together, whatever, only you
can connect them for yourself and see if you like it or not for your own workflow.

and those dr rhythms have some decent old school 808 samples on them as well. they're very dated, but i wouldn't call them garbage.
