I will respond, but know that I can't give you a lot of information because I don't know if this is even for sure. I am a Newbie myself.

If I understand correctly, you can somehow transfer your beats to your computer into wav. files with your usb cable and then convert them into mp3. I don't think you need to buy a cd burner and all that stuff.

However, I think to do what you want to do, you will need to download some type of program on to your cp.

Somebody that knows a lot more help him out with this.

thanx pimp, if you get anymore info drop it on me....Peace and keep bangin..

The only way u can transfer those beats are if u resample. You CAN NOT connect a USB cable and transfer your beats from the mpc to the computer its not that easy. What you can do is get you a decent sound card and take the outs of the MPC 1k to the INS on your sound card. This question has already been answered.
