You have the choice of using hardware(e.g.track recorder) or software(e.g. cubase). But you pretty much can either record the track as an whole or individually record each sound. Thats also your choice.

But what u would do is take the STEREO OUTS(L&R) to the INPUT on your device you are going to be using for recording. For example if you are going to use your computer then you would be taking the OUTPUT from the MPC to the INPUT on your soundcard(upgrading is highly recommended). You would then need an recording program such as cubase, adobe audition, ect. to record the audio.

Once you are done recording the audio then u can mix, edit, ect... how u need to then export it out as an .wav(highly recommended over an mp3 inless you gonna load it to the internet then an mp3 would be what u would need to use.) Then open your burning software(e.g. Nero) and add that song along with whatever and make your beat cd.

Real easy and simple. But it just requires you to actually take the time to fully understand and complete the task.
