Need to record beats to make mp3

I'm back....

So I have some beats in my mpc 2500. Now I want to record them onto my laptop so I can make an mp3 out of it. I have a no frills setup which is just an MPC 2500 connected to Studio Monitors. I have no audio interface, mixer etc...

I want to record and make an mp3 from the beats I have made in my MPC. Do you recommend getting a mixer or audio interface? My budget is no more than $250. Which audio interface or mixer would be best to get if I have to?



Thanks.

If you're working on a windows system, use the windows media feature to record and save it as a mp3 file.

Radioshack sells everything you need to make the connection from your mpc to the 1/8" input on your audio card.

1. 1/8" to rca male (L/R) cable

2. two rca female to 1/4" male adapters

U could resample through the main outs then transfer the wav via USB then convert to mp3 on ur,laptop or just pick up the cables shown above

you could also go into song mode and mix your sequences down to a song then save that as a sample and export it via usb.

i wouldent record the stereo outs unless you had a sound card.

i really like my tc electronics impact twin. i think i paid 299 for it, a litlte over you budget, but if your only going to be recording a max of 6 inputs, i would save the extra 50 bucks and get it.

i would say it has really nice preamps for a twin mic pre box, i would even record vocals with it if i didnt have my external mic pre, and im a mic pre snob.

it also has a really nice reverb, and also some other effects.

it uses firewire 400.
