DAW and MPC1000????

Sup Peeps,

I'm pretty new to this whole thing... that is, the FORUMS world. I've been messin with MIDI for a while now. So I like to think I have a good understanding..... but there is MUCH to learn.

I have an MPC1000, Trigger Finger, Ableton Live 6, Sonar 4 Producer, ACID6, Sound Forge9, ProKeys 88 (M-Audio Midi Keyboard) and of course my Monitoring System. the Question is this.......

What THE Hell do I do with all this Stuff!!! lmao!! I love all this ish** but rarely get an opportunity to spend enough time on it...(that's what happens when you got a fam to look out for...) The MPC1000 is the newest member....

-- Is there a unique use between the MPC1000 and a DAW like SONAR???

And ...

-- Is there a way to use the VST Soft Synths and VST Plug-ins installed in Sonar with the MPC??? Can I controls those from the MPC1K?

Thanks guys... I realize this may be a dumb question... but I appreciate you takin a look. Thanks in advance for those that respond!! PEACE.

Dude, that's a really good question, you've got a lot of gear around yourself, no wonder you're lost with it all.

I say, concentrate on learning them through and through 1 by 1 as long as it takes. Learn MPC1000 and Ableton Live properly and you're on your way to stardom.

Oh forgot to answer to the MIDI question. Yes, you can control your VSTs with the MPC you need a MIDI box (or a soundcard that has midi in and out) between the PC and the MPC.

Hey MTC,

Thanks for taking the time to respond bro. I appreciate it. i DO have a lot of gear... I love the stuff though!!!

So do you think the MPC and ABLETON could work best together?? I've tried to use it with the Trigger Finger, but it got a little confusing when it came time to assign the knobs!! grrr. it wasn't as easy as I thought it would be.

Thanks again for the reply.
