You can use Cubase or Pro Tools or any other of the many programs available to record/multitrack your beats from the MPC, and then burn to CD. I use a CD recorder. haha

Tascam CC-222. I hook my MPC to a mixer for mixing the individual tracks/sounds, which then goes to the recorder.

Is it easy to use? If all you want to do is straight record, then yeah, its the same process as recording to cassette. ie. dead easy. But the CD component has features which come in handy for some things and obviously make it more complicated if you want to use them.

If you have the 8 outs which include the Digital OUT then u can get a CD Burner that can go plugged straight to that and record. But why not learn how to use software and read up on recording?

Trust me learn to branch out and get an understanding of what the items u have access to can do. Audacity is a free recording program along with others out there that u can use.

But im not sayin use software im just saying learn what it is capable of doing and how u can incorporate it into your setup. You will thank me later on down the line.
