How about you tell us what other equipment you have? I mean, from what we know, you can have a beat playing one one turntable, scratch on the other, connect some cables from the mixer to something that records. If your beat's on your computer, you'd be connecting your line-out from your computer to ...

I'm not sure what you mean when you say the disc isn't bootable, because you seem to indicate that your only barrier is telling the laptop to boot from it. I have a suggestion. I don't know if there is a BIOS mode per se, but on the PPC models there's single user mode, open firmware mode, and some o...

well for starters hopefully you can make sure the Onyx work by plugging it into your Mac, going to System Preferences>Sound, and making sure it shows up as an input device. not sure if you need to select it here to get to it in Ableton, because Ableton has a place to do this as well, but shit it doe...

I might have sidestepped your question. I think you can do all the sequencing from the MPC. But all the shit about audio I said still holds I think. But if you're connecting MPC's MIDI Outs to the other two devices' MIDI In, set the other two to Slave (or Control Off or whatever it is), then that ma...

I've not used MIDI for anything more complicated than firing some notes, but I think you're not able to do what you want on your MPC. If the MPC has only MIDI inputs, you can send notes from the ASR and the Motif to the MPC, but that's all they are, is notes, and the MPC would have to use those note...

I'm a proponent of spanning monitors, especially for audio work. You can get a laptop and a display within your price range, give or take some change, and off you go.
