Is there any way to route audio from the MPC software to Ableton? I tried bounce to sample and transfer file manually, unfortunately MPC creates ghost file and it's nowhere on my disk.
I know I can control Ableton instruments via MIDI using Mac's IAC driver. But then I lose all MPC functionality.
Do you know any workflow to still use MPC (expansions, envelopes, sampler) and do rest in ableton?

Best if I could record each sequence or track separately as Ableton session.

For clarity:
On MPC I making beat for example 8 bar on Track 1.
I record it as Ableton session.
Again on MPC I do a beat variation on Track 2 and record as a different session in ablelton.
So in MPC I have information in MIDI all the time, that I can change something if necessary and replace the Ableton session on the go.

Ok. I found a partially solution. Using Loopback software, I can route my 1/2 audio channels from MPC Software and record directly to Ableton. Both DAWs must be open.
I haven't found a way to redirect multiple channels yet. When MPC is used as a VST plugin, 32 channels can be routed to the main DAW (no third party software needed).

Hit OPTIONS on the PASS THRU and see if it brings up more tracks. Nice find Yo!

Whit this you mean the explode track function, right? Yet another bug? :evil:

Alternatively what you can do (it does take a bit of time), is syncinc the daw with the mpc (daw as master) via midi, go to track mute, then record all tracks seperately while hitting play + rec in the daw. If you have a audio interface with 6 inputs (or more) you could record more tracks at once of course. Hope that can be a solution... good luck
