effects while making beat

i like to hear how each sound and effect will be in the final mix. example would be in fruity loops, i can have 4 sounds (kick, snare, hat, sample)

in fl studio i can set a different reverb to each individual sound. i can also add a different eq or compression, etc. to each of the 4 sounds, while the whole beat is playing.

im using the mpc 1000 (blue and red , free jjos) and i dont like the stock effects. im wanting to use hardware effects

what would i need to be able to (in realtime as im making the beat) apply a different hardware reverb to only my kick and then a seperate hardware reverb to my snare, instead of the whole beat having the same reverb/effect applied?

what i've been doing so far is using the stock mpc 1000 effects to get a general idea of what the final mix will sound like with the effects applied to each individual sound and then when i get ready to track out, i track everything out DRY. then run each sound through plug in effects.

one way of using the 1k and hardware effects/eq is to assign a sound to an individual out that goes into your harware unit, with the outs going to into the audio ins for resampling.
either resample the single sound or a 2/4/8/16 bar sequence.
then just trim and assign to pad.

it's a very quick and easy way to work.

^yes that!

also, I suggest that you use the mpc ... how do I say it... like an mpc.. or as an mpc.

Dont bother trying to mirror your exact workflow from fl studio on the mpc because you simply aren't using the same tool... it's like trying to dig a hole using a garden rake.

tracking out using the individual outputs is a plus, and applying the effects later works too.. in fact, you can run the mpc into fl studio, solo the track in the mpc... and audition your effects that you plan on applying later on once it's tracked in. (muting them of course before recording into FL)

by nature of their crappy fx, mpcs are often more "dry" instruments
learn to use lower-level techniques to tease out a sound before tracking and apply polish in DAW
or use virtual instruments in DAW midi triggered by the MPC to achieve more effected sounds.

I usually have my mpc1k/S3000 set up with all outputs going through a patchbay, then to my 10 input audio interface where i monitor/record with reaper. I use Reaper like a hardware mixing console (thanks for the advice on setting it up Nym). So yeah i do like adding fx and whatnot while composing....but i think sometimes having all the vst fx at my disposal throws me off my focus. lol Couldnt tell you how many times Ive started with a nice simple composition and then 20 min later I have delays, filters, etc....but anyways sometimes its cool just turning on the MPC and Record player and making things happen that way (with the crappy mpc fx lol)

i use the effects inside the 500 and apply the reverb, eq, etc. to get a really decent idea of the track. then i record the beat into cubase track by track and then copy and paste, but i record dry. and then re-do the effects using VST's or i will record into my sp 303.

if your computer is fast enough you can get an interface and run your outs through VST's, but watch for delay.

basically the mpc is the brainstorming area. just use the internal effects, track out dry, then apply effects that you prefer afterwards
