do i take it you are just instruments and plug ins then Eyalc?
maybe with the odd Expansion?
Everything starts with the MPC Touch. Do most sequencing on there. (The Unspoken Warrior was done on an MPC 5000 though). Like most people I have thousands of samples. Drums, instruments, riffs, etc. I combine them with live instruments. Never used any of the MPC Expansions. Not because I don't think they're good - just never used them.
Once the basis is laid in the MPC (sometimes the entire song) I export everything to Logic Pro. If I need some expression instruments and other ear candy I'll add them there. Spectrasonics stuff, Lounge Lizard, Play libraries, and a few others. I don't use many plugins, but I use them on just about every song in some way, shape or form. If I need to record vocals I do that in Logic as well.
Mixing happens in Logic. Logic, Waves and Universal Audio plugins. Mastering happens in WaveLab.
The song You Are on soundcloud for example, that was 100% MPC. Only did mixing in Logic. Didn't add anything else to it.
