You can do it a few ways .

1. you can record each track individually from your mpc outs to your soundcard into a daw program such as Logic or Pro Tools so you can edit and arrange further digitally. You would have to assign each pad to the outputs at a time.
2. You can 2 track out the music onto your sound card from your audio outputs ie just play all of your sounds as once ( just press play and use the stereo outs)

what kind of soundcard would i need,and secondly could i use cubase

you can use cubase. just get yourself a USB or Firewire sound card for your Mini. M-Audio makes some pretty good stuff and depending on your budget, you could go Digidesign MBox and go Pro Tools... it's not that expensive.
