Thats your problem!

Midi Basics 101

Midi will not transfer audio or sound.

You know how to connect your equipment but do you really know the basics of midi?

You need your computer connected to your Monitors to hear the sounds coming out of Reason.

Having a mixer or audio interface will help.

Have the MPC and your computer connected to the mixer/audio interface then have the monitors connected to the mixer/audio interface and BAM now you can hear from both your computer and MPC.

The M-Audio Uno 1x1 is a midi interface not an audio interface.

Hopefully I didnt come out sounding like an ass.

you have to have the audio connect by means of 1/4" jack to your audio interface or to your soundcard. Midi is just data no audio....
