And once you make ...

Just write down the BPM for each track.

I have a small tupperware container with all of my essential small music shit (extra needles, memory cards for the 404, paper, pen, 1/8" to 1/4" adapters (you can never have enough) and other small crap like that) and I write down the BPM for each track on ...

Yeah he has a few I think. I know of Reverse Discourse which is one from 2003 that's an uninturrupted mix of beats he made.

Connect the AUDIO OUT part of the SP (where you'd normally plug in speakers) to the AUDIO IN part of the MBOX.

Nope.

I'd suggest buying a cheap metronome (some tuners have them built-in). You can get a decent pocket electronic metronome/bpm counter for under $25.

When you record in use the metronome to keep time for whatever you're rapping/playing.

Actually I've used Reason's metronome tons of times ...

You just have to hit EXIT SOURCE to hear it and still have all of the 404's functions work.

EQ and as of late I've been heavy into the pitch fx mainly because it sounds so unrealistic and can change up sounds a lot without effecting the main structure of the sound.
