AA 1.5 didn't support asio, check to see if the new version has it. If so then you should be able to seperately track out your mpc tracks. Ie. soundcard with mulitple in/outs tracked into AA.

I've messed with the 1.5 but not the new one yet..

"Ie. soundcard with mulitple in/outs tracked into AA."

via asio your soundcard inputs will show up as choices in each track in AA.
ie. you can choose what soundcard input goes to what track. easy.
you'll need to midi your mpc to you soundcard, setup/config AA to logically see that midi input on your soundcard that your mpc is connected to.

Taken from my USEFUL LINKS thread in my signature..
People SLEEP on that thread sometimes and I wonder why..
It's not there just for show... Usually the newbies though. Vets already know what it is..

Cool Edit Pro - Adobe Audition - MPC2kxl midi sync
MPC2kxl MIDI settings are as follows (generate MTC):
Shift + 9
MIDI SYNC OUT (A)
Frame Rate 25 (for CEP/AA) *some will argue 30 but I've found 25 to work better than 30 did even though 30 is the U.S. standard.
Send MMC ON

CEP/AA MIDI settings are as follows (trigger from MTC):
F6 – Midi trigger enable
F7 – SMTPE Slave enbable

left and right inputs is basically all you need.

NOW, if you plan on getting better quality, more tracks recorded simultanaeously then that's a different story.

I have a digi001 going into my pc into vegas software multitracker.

so u track out ur beats from ur mpc into da 001 rack into ur PC?

yes - main outs cause I don't have 8 outs.

I've used 8outs on my friends 2kxl with the same setup
(I built his computer to model mine). But yes, that's how you'd do it..
