it all depends on how u want to do it , the midi cable only transfers data...NO AUDIO AT ALL ! basically the midi cord allows u to sync what ever recording program u use to the mpc so when u record ur mpc audio the two will rec/play at the exact same time. if u got all ur levels the way u want it in the mpc and u just want a strait audio file (WAV) , then use resampling method . connect the two main stereo outputs to ur two record in inputs(hit mode, pad 5 , and change ur input in the upper left hand side from analog to MAIN OUT , set ur record time the the length of the beat and rock out ).

Hold this helped a little.

thanks,


Just connect the main outs of the mpc to your soundcards' inputs. Then record this into your DAW program or editor.
I use SoundForge to handle this for me since I can save it to a .wav or mp3 file. I doubt if you'll need a midi cable for this, only when you're tracking.
