Ok first up ! I hope your not going from...

MPC S/Pdif (Digital) -----> to ------> PC Phono ( Analogue)

Because although the connectors look the same they are sending different information.

You have to go one or the other... Digital or Analogue

Digital IMO has a better advantage in a home set-up as you get a " digital replication " of the sound on your MPC -----> to ------> PC which eliminates general noise (hisss) asociated with low freqency analogue sound it is also less prone to audio cliping depending on the soundcard.

Go Digital - >

If your going digital you need to go digital out from your MPC Digital out to S/pdif on your PC sound card. Check that your sound card has S/Pdif. Also use a program like "Sound Forge" to record the track from your MPC. Also make sure the software is set to record from the S/pdif socket at the CD standard of 44.1kz (for less headaches of conversions and sh*t)

Go Analogue - >

Stereo out from MPC to stereo in or Mic in socket on PC (careful of your sound levels)

One !

once you've got your mpc hooked up to your computer right, you'll need some software to record it with.

if you dont have any, there are some freeware programs around that you can do this. this should do and its free to download:
