Trying to determine if MPC Live 2 will play nicely with my gear, specifically my condenser mic and USB-powered Scarlett Solo (3rd gen) interface.

(1) Will the MPC Live 2 USB power the Scarlett Solo?

(2) And if I want to sample directly into the MPC Live 2 through the condenser mic, can I use my Scarlett Solo (3rd gen) as preamp? In other words, mic>scarlett-solo>Live.
