You need to resample the Main Outputs and create a new Wav. This basically means that you're taking a digital copy of what plays on the machines Main Outputs when you listen to your song. The resultant Wav file can then be saved to CF and transferred to your PC in the usual manner.

Oh, and before you ask, this type of resampling does not require you to physically loop leads from the Main Outputs to Inputs; it's all done internally by selecting Main Outputs as your source when in sample record mode.

Hope this helps.

you can need to transfer an mpc-made beat to you pc for several reasons :

- because you want it, it alwaus more simpler to give to a friend an mp3 version of your beat , than giving your mpc, just for some feedback

- because you want to render each track , and then work on your favorite audio softs to include your beat on a bigger project ( imagine you wanna made an album)

- because you wanna make some post production, layering each tracks and so on...

- because you have a cool'n'sexy plug in you wanna try with your sample or beat , or on the whole song

- because it is cool to know that you can do it :)
