i guessing ur using an mpc...
so i assume uve made it into a song. have you recorded it yet and actually made it a song or is it still a long sequence.
if u have recorded it...
lets say u named it sample 1 after u recorded it.
-go to MODE-SAVE and then look to through ur card or memory and find sample 1
press save to memory card if ur using a compact fash card.
-then if u have usb connections from ur mpc to computer, click usb.
-when the usb icon comes up on ur computer, it will have all ur files that u saved it there(snare sample, bass, kick, hat, w/e)but it will also say sample 1.
it should be in a wav. form
-open it in whatever but i use itunes cuz its a lot easier.
-so i open it in itunes...it loads...and then starts playing/
-right click on the song and look for "convert to mp3"
-if its not there go to preferences-advanced-importing-Import using : mp3 encoder and make sure it says that.
-it will convert to mp3 and then u will have a wav. one and an mp3 one.
-i would recommend deleting the wav. one cuz it takes up lots of space and u can always convert it back.
and there u go. pm me for questions

im not sure which MPC you have, but for the 1000, you'll need a interface like one called M-Audio Fast Track that allows you to record to the MPC....you can use any program that can record from the interface.

well my fast track came up to under 100, i dont have the multitrack one, thats the very expensive one. the one i have had one input that you'll connect to the mpc stereo output, and any program like FL Studio, which I use, or any program that can record from the input will work. anything else you need, let me know, peace.

Thanks, I've been working hard to get better at making beats. I've been making beats consistently since June 07. As of right now, I use a MPC1000, a mixer, turntables and vinyl, and FL Studio, either for equalizing songs from the MPC or if I want to make non-sampled songs. Before, I used FL Studio for sampling, and it was pretty good, but I prefer the MPC. As far as recording songs onto the PC, Cool Edit is fine. I either use that or a small program called Reaper that's pretty good too. But if you ever get enough cash for a real multitrack interface, it would be nice because you could get each track individually recorded all at once.
