Sony Vegas 5 + Mpc 2000xl

Sup y'all

im gettin into trackin out my beats,instead of lazily recording a simple stereo track. I dont have the money for anything else, and i cant find pro tools on bit torrent so I use Sony vegas in conjunction with soundforge for recording each track seperately.

here's my setup:
mpc2000xl
m-audiophile 2496
old ass gemini disco mixer
blah blah blah, yaddah yaddah yaddah

i have two questions:
1) How do I sync up the mp via midi so that when i hit record on vegas the mp plays,
or when i hit play on the mp vegas records?
everything's midi'd together:
midi out on audiophile ->> mp midi in
midi out on mp - >> audiophile midi in

2) Once im done recording each individual track, what's a quick way to drop in effects and eq quickly, without going thought that tedious effects screen (whre you choose an "effects chain")?

I want to eq on the fly, so i dont have to restart the damn file when i want to hear what i changed.

I also want to eq while the song is playing, so i can hear the difference as it applies to the mix as a whole, and not just that particualr sound.

For example, i want to beef up my drums a little. I go to that damn effects screen, and finally get to where i can adjust them, and all i can hear is the drums...i cant hear the drums AND the hats, melody, etc...

I knowa couple of u guys use vegas, like lampdog i believe...

thanks alot for any help

peace

I track my beats in Vegas, I only use SF to wav edit.

I have Vegas and MPC sync info in my USEFUL LINKS thread.

You'll have to deal with that cause that's how vegas does. You can however dock the effects properties screen anywhere you want and mess with it while the beat it playing, EVERYTHING in Vegas is realtime.
