When you guys track into your DAW do you tend to track out the beat as a whole (one file) or track out the individual sounds (kick snare hats etc) on seperate tracks so that you can process them further?

Put swing on your master sequencer. Of course you lose mpc swing
when mpc is slaved, it's not using it's on timing. Put swing on your master sequencer.

When you guys track sequences on your MPC into your DAW do you have issues with audio delay? For example in Ableton Live, if I set it to master midi clock controlling my MPC... and I record a sequence... I have to record it looping three times... so I can find the proper start and stop points of the sequence. If I just let the sequence play out, the audio wont start and end at the exact place it does on the MPC. I set my buffer to 256 (MOTU ULTRALITE), so there is latency, but I thought if the DAW is the master midi clock... it will auto compensate for the latency. Someone mentioned LOGIC, does that work better? I might have to change from live... I just like the way it arranges sequences.

What do you guys do to assemble yours songs. I like to build a bunch of parts on the MPC (drums... and midi control for my keyboards). And then put them together on a digital audio workstation. Is that an acceptable method, or does everyone build the entire thing on the MPC?
