mpc's dont send audio via usb.

ONLY a midi cable will not transmit audio.
Midi is NOT audio.
You get a flat line BECAUSE you have NO audio going into logic.

That's what it sounds like. Learn more about audio and midi and act on that info.
Your trying out stuff that you don't fully understand it sounds like. That's bassackwards.

1 question, does Logic have audio ins and if so what's routed to them?
I'm willing to bet you have no Logic audio inputs.

ya you are right i really dont understand...i do not have any audo ins..i just have my midi keyboard hooked up to logic via usb and thats it. Sorry for bein such a newb i try to do my research but its all so confusing. So in order to hook my mpc up to logic i am going to need an audio interface correct? Also is their anything else im going to need to get it to work properly? thanks a lot for your help

Do you a line in on your sound card on your computer? Logic can see that line in if you have one.
If so, mpc line out -> dual 1/4 to your compute line in connection, I'm guessing it's a 1/8 stereo line in on your soundcard if u have a line in.

So I'm guessing this cable and no audio interface IF you have a soundcard on your computer with a line in.

Stereo 1/8 Inch to 2x1/4 Inch Y Cable

You need to figure out how to get Logic to recognize that line in and that is where your flat audio is coming from. if you can connect your mpc to that line, you should be fine from there and able to record stereo audio into logic.

I don't like guessing, next time explain your setup/situation better, lol.
