Check my blog for info on recording from mpc to your computer. But take the mpc outs to the input on your soundcard.

The card on your pc where you connect a mic/instruments(mic in/line in) and your speakers to get sound to and from the PC. Go to my blog and look at the helpful websites list. Look for the tweakheadz guide. has all that basic info plus more.

dont think of it as 'transferring' or 'exporting' beats to your computer. it really doesnt work like that with the 1000. think of it like 'sampling' your beats into your pc, the same way you would sample a sound from vinyl into your mpc.
basically, you need to have cables running from your MPC's outputs to the inputs of the sound card of your computer. an example of your sound card/audio interface could be an MBOX, an M-audio audiophile, motu firepod, even like a soundblaster internal card or something. anything with audio inputs that is connected to your computer.
the reason why you connect MPC OUTS -> COMPUTER INS is because you want to play the beat from the MPC, and have the sound travel INto your computer. while this is happening, you have your computer record what the mpc is playing.
in order to have your computer record this, you need some sort of digital audio workstation (DAW). this can be Protools, logic, cubase, sonar, etc. even things like cool edit pro, reaper, audacity, etc will work too.
so once you have this all set up, you just press play on your MPC, and click record on your pc, and have your pc record everything in real time.
make sense?
goodluck, peace

Mbox 2 or similar interface. That will do the trick. You need to run 1/4 inch cables from stereo of your mpc out to the m-box and sync with midi cables.
