The MPCs read and send MIDI clock, so it should be quite simple to set yours up as a MIDI slave, look in its MIDI settings. The same for Cubase, get it to send MIDI Clock as the master. Then a MIDI Out from the Cubase computer to the MPC should get you going so that you can hit Play in Cubase, and the MPC starts too.
Or make the MPC the master, by making Cubase the slave and wiring up the MIDI correctly.
BUT:
Are you talking about transferring all the audio from the MPC to Cubase, track by track? If so, why? What will you gain from that?
- You could leave it in the MPC, sync up the two machines, and let the MPC and Cubase each do what they're good at. (MPC for rhythm loops and hits, Cubase for VSTi, complex MIDI editing, and so on.)
- If you transfer a whole audio track from the MPC to a single audio track in Cubase, it's then "printed". You can't tweak it like you can in the MPC, any more - adjust timing, velocity, all the little things. Personally, I want to keep as much flexibility as I get, all the way thru the process, even come back after the first mixdown and remix the track.
- Your Audiophile sounds like a good choice for mixing the track down to 2-track on the computer, then you can Master it there. (by Master I mean trim, touch up EQ and compression etc., send to CD.)
But that's just my opinion, I could be wrong...
