There's different ways to do this.

A: You track your beat in your fav DAW (Digital audio workstation, cubase, nuendo, logic, pro tools). This would be the best way to go about to do this.
You assign your pads to different outputs on your mpc and hook the the 8(10) outputs on your mpc to the input of your computer. Needless to say, you need atleast 8 inputs on your computer. This way you get to mix your beat in your computer and you have more freedom to compress and enhance the different channels.

B: If you only have 2 inputs on your computer get a better interface if you're serious about your music.

C: 2 inputs on your computer and not enough money to get a better interface: mix your stuff in the mpc and just hit record on your computer, while the mpc is playing. (After you hook it up to your computer ofcourse)

D: You've got a cd burner on your mpc. Resample the track and burn it to the cd. Mode -> pad 5 (record) -> set input to "main output"

I hope this helps a bit

Anyone volunteer to write a decent FAQ to put into a sticky thread? These ever-returning questions are getting boring.
