Yo i just want know what ya think is best?

1 - Right now i am Sequencing everything on my MPC using Reason as a soundmodul.
When im finsihed with a beat i record the whole beat in to a crappy recording program called Accustica.
I could use Cubase but having some problems with it. Doing this is kind of crappy since the quality of the beat is not as good as i want it to be.

2 - Sync the MPC to Cubase(if i can fix it),Pro tools or other programs and record everything there. Read in forums about sync'in MPC but i also read about the delays. But this may also be smart so u can see the whole setup of the track.

3 - Record Solo melodies in reason then sample it in to the pads. Kind of crappy also cause it takes some time, but might be a solution if i cant get anything to work.

If ya got other ideas i would gladly read em.

If you are using Reason for sounds..simply use it in Rewire Mode with Cubase.

Considering you have troubles with your DAW i advise you to sample your reason sounds on the MPC

Then sequence everything on it
