1) Line input connected to the output of something that makes sound + Mode, Record
or
USB Wav. Files

2) Depends (on what kind of beats you wanna make) but most likely yes. Start with some drum sounds from computer and maybe sample long sounds from an mp3 player or any other audio source (i.e. records, cds, field recordings, movie clips, ect.)
