Im trying to record my voice into the MPC to put over beats, use my voice as my own sample, u get it. But I need to know what cables i need to buy to be able to do so. I currently have 2 usb mics, one hooked up to my Mac which needs to stay plugged in for use of Pro Tools SE, and I have another usb mic as well. Basically my question is, do you all know of an adaptor or something that is out there to connect my usb to so i can plug the adaptor into my MPC? Thanks.

Also, I just got my MPC and i see it needs to be hooked up to something and can't make sound on its own, what do i need to connect my MPC to speakers, and also, what cable would i need to connect my MPC to my computer for use with my DAW? I heard its a midi out or something like that, with a usb end on the cord. Just saying what I heard, I know these are basic questions but I'm just getting started. And no i don't have a manual, my MPC is used.

All help would be appreciated

it'll be easier if you just record your samples into your computer first [since your mic is USB]... and then later drag the WAV files to your MPC's memory card via USB.

oh, and read the manual... there's no "easy" way to learn how to use an MPC.
