MPC 5000/Ableton LIve 8 working together?

[jkung]

many ways to do this setup. i seq on the MPC3 just cuz of how familiar i am with it, and how i like the "timing" i can make a 4 bar loop WAY faster on my MPC than a computer. I seq all my outboard, and vstis on my MPC then just midi dump to ableton as a bunch of loops to manipulate and then finishing the arrangement in ableton. its the fastest way of working for me
