Using MPC Live II to make Dub music

Hello all,

I recently bought a preamp, and I've connected it to my MPC Live II to use some of the effects like delay, reverb, etc.

I was wondering if someone also uses the MPC Live II to make dub music and if there's some tips to share.

I'm trying to use a Delay, controlled by an Akai Midimix connected to the MPC, but I just can't make it sound good..

Thanks!
