I use my MPC 1000 as a trigger for the sounds in Reason (usually Redrum). When I have my "basic" song and arrangement I will ReWire it from Reason into Pro Tools for audio seqencing. I apply no effects in Reason. Pro Tools and the various plug ins I have seem more powerful and professional.

Once everything is in Reason... and I have the tempos etc... I open the input that my MPC 1000 is on... on a track and continue to add sounds... from the MPC or from any soft synths/samplers. They are all triggered via the MPC.

I think the combination that I use to create my music is just deadly. I also own the Fantom and the Motif ES Rack. I use the Fantom and the MPC as controllers and slave everything else.... my Virus TI Desktop and any soft synths etc.

The MPC works great along with Reason... (once you set the Midi Values from the MPC pads to match the Midi Values in Redrum etc). Plus I get the added bonus of using the MPC's own sounds and "groove" when I add sounds to my arrangement via Pro Tools.

I love both, my MPC 1000 and Reason and wouldn't change it for the world. I like options.... this is the way to go.

Kop both and Pro Tools LE... connect everything RIGHT via USB or Midi... and thank me later.

Trust.

Goodluck fam.
