Usually, I make one sequence with a click, and I put it first in SONG, then I mute all the tracks except one and I record one by one (kick, snare, bass...)
Later when I have all the tracks in pro tools, I must cut and move them manually in order to make concide all the clics, It's a lit bit bored...

I want to know how to do automatically, when my first click sound, pro tools starts recording automatically?!!!

like this all the tracks are correctly in the same place.
somebody know how to do it?
gracias.

It probably be better to Hit record (apple+spacebar) on PT, and have the MPC follow that.
It has been cover on these forums many times.
I'll see how I have mine setup later, when I get back from Work.

The only thing I search is how can I do to: when I press play in my MPC pro tools starts recording.

I can imagine "It has been cover on these forums many times" I was searching in the forum to page 22 aprox, i didn't find the solution.

"those kinda questions get answered 10 times a day" = fake reponse!
-if you can said me where can I find it "10 times a day", give me the links "teacher" :shock:

Cool
Finally I was trying and I found the way to do it.

The way to do:

1 cable midi:
-MPC MIDI-OUT-A
-MBOX MIDI-IN

MPC:
-Create a sequence 4/4. 2 BARS
-left-down in the corner: S:MIDI: 1A-Device01
press STEP and press any pad
We name this sequence: MIDI
the sequence MIDI must be the first one in SONG (shift+SONG) after your sequences audio (intro, chorus...)

PRO TOOLS:

VIEW-transport-MIDI options (it shows MIDI options)
Press "way for a note" (the icon with a MIDI conexion with a pause)
Press record bottom marked with a "R" near of your name's track
Press record bottom in the counter

Now you press play in your MPC and Pro Tools starts recording.

I hope it can help somebody more.

peace.
:D

If your sequencing work is all in Mpc, there's another way to record sync beetwen pro tools LE -Mpc. first, You record the smpte source from your MPC (Smpte out) about the same duration of your sequence song is. and the from assigned your pro tools output to smpte in on your mpc. The pro tools LE sync automatically with Mpc. Cheers
