I recently purchased a mpc one and installed the firmware, software, and the driver for it. I am trying to get it to work on the logic pro in controller mode and it isnt working/producing any sound.

From your description it is unclear whether you loaded some programs or not. Can you see any levels shown in MPC Software or standalone? While loading it as a plugin, your DAW (i.e. Logic) handles your audio. Plugin and standalone by default load an empty session, you‘d need to load some programs there.

I wanna try to use it as a plugin in logic and maybe use it as a midi controller as well. My options is plugging the mpc in to my computer by usb or my audiobox usb which im not sure how to how that up

When i load the software and add some programs i do hear it but only if i plug my headphones in. I see levels in standalone but nothing when it is in controller mode
